Season 6 Review: It thrives on an ensemble of BoJack’s friends and colleagues, each a multidimensional person trying to survive in a brutal city. ... These characters come to the fore, one by one, in the masterful eight-episode first half of Season 6. (A second batch of eight arrives Jan. 20.) Read full review

Season 3 Review: Netflix's BoJack Horseman evolved from frothy talking-animal Hollywood satire to character-rich treatise on depression in its first season, deepened and darkened into one of TV's best shows in its second season and gallops into its third season with a profound confidence.

Season 6 Review: As it enters the final leg, BoJack Horseman takes stock of the good and the bad, and prepares to hand down judgment, proving that it’s braver and funnier than just about anything else on TV. Read full review

Season 3 Review: With its mix of curveball innovations and very BoJack elements, season three of Raphael Bob-Waksberg’s cartoon sitcom set in a species-mixed world of humans and animals might be its best overall, though it necessarily lacks the aspect of jaw-dropping surprise that made it so beguiling in its first two outings.

Season 4 Review: BoJack Horseman never feels as if its grasping for relevancy or looking for a quick, cynical laugh to show its edge. They give vibrant, convincing life to the world that surrounds BoJack, even as he continues to struggle to look beyond his own snout. Read full review

Season 2 Review: It remains one of TV's best meta-skewers of Hollywood. [10/17 Jul 2015, p.101]

Season 1 Review: [A] bizarre, Seth MacFarlane-like show that seems to have stemmed from a trippy night on ‘shrooms. In the words of Nancy Reagan, just say no. Read full review

The first few episodes aside, Bojack Horseman is hilarious, creative, and deep.

Good ****
A show that can be both fun and smart, with visual gags and realistic characters.

As stated by many other people, it started off on bit of an awkward foot. The humour didn't quite land for me and I thought I would be another "adult animated comedy" where the humour comes by how extraordinarily dumb and morally corrupt the characters are. There is still a bit of that mind you, but the show really starts getting into its stride by the send half of the first season and by season 2 onwards it became one of my favourite shows.

The show tackles some dark topics and does so with honesty and earnest that I can't help but feel for the characters. They feel like real people with real emotional and psychological problems in spite of the fact that they are animated and half of them are anthropomorphic animals. You get they sense that the show isn't doing it for shock value or for cheap emotional gut punches. They really do have something to say about how people are affected by the choices they make. Over time the comedy started to gel with me more as well. I don't know if it's because I started to like the characters more or if it genuinely got more funny to me, but I did notice that I started to have some laughs and even started quoting a line or two from the show with my friends. This is a show that really embodies the term 'adult cartoon.' It isn't for adults just because it is inappropriate for children. It's for adults because it explores themes that only adults can appreciate; like mental health, substance abuse and emotional abuse. It does so, because it actually has a message about these topics and not just to be 'edgy.' This is why I and so many others love this cartoon about a talking horse that used to be in a 90's sitcom.… Expand

Very interesting and sometimes informative animated series! I like that he talks about pain and suffering, and at the same time remains at a high level.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A surprising show, to say the least, Bojack Horseman starts out as every animated adult comedy does, then quickly spirals into a show with meaningful topics and surprisingly well put together continuity. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone needing something refreshing to watch.… Expand

Bojack Horseman is one of the best adult animated shows because it tackles serious issues very well.
