Let's talk about BoJack Horseman, the new Netflix animated series (starring Will Arnett, Alison Brie, Amy Sedaris, Aaron Paul, etc)

awesome

God I hate Mr Puppetcheese

not reeeeading don't spoiler no not reading this until the series is finished but holy SHIT the turnaround in mood/everything from episode 1 -> 2. how fucking intense already jesus christ they're mad people this show is the best bye

otm. holy shit.

'Muslim kills at open mic night, Christian kills at grocery store'

I am now going to get stoned and properly poopsock this season

oh my god this season is fucking incredible

^^^

"Stupid piece of shit" is really, really uncomfortably close to reality. My family went through nearly the same thing w/my grandmother and a doll.

just when you think it can't get any better there's a (good) Bunuel homage

ok all done

fuck

I was looking forward to this but was kinda scared to watch it

I love the constant background gags.

I pita the ful (Egyptian restaurant) might be my favourite sight gag in the whole thing to date.

Ha, I missed that one. Need to rewatch it, I think.

It's in the background when the kettle corn gets stolen.

enjoyed the delayed payoff for FHBA: Los Angeles

I wanted a screencap from episode two of the roadside dinosaur attraction for the "dinosaurs staring haplessly" thread but haven't been able to get one.

Just struck me as funny how insecure nerd's fantasy self Mr Peanutbutter (confident, blasé, oblivious, great with ppl) is married to literate glasses-wearing super-cute and nerdy (and Asian, that was a stereotypical nerd thing right?) nerd dream woman Diane. And their marriage isn't really working, cos she needs someone more I dunno, nerdy and bitter.

I still find it a bit weird that Diane is voiced by Alison Brie

but anyway this might have been the most consistently good season yet, and the most brutal

It's a seriously good show, is the thing. Like a comedy that merits the attention of a drama or something, I dunno.

I've found its very easy to zone out and miss a lot of the jokes AND important plot points in this, it requires an amount of focus when I'm used to letting shows like this kind of wash over me. You sort of have to retrain yourself to pay attention vs most tv, I also found myself rewinding not just to catch jokes but also moments where a character inadvertently says something profound about depression or bj's psychology etc

This. I typically watch TV while doing random shit on my phone, but I went back and rewatched BoJack season three and got so much more out of it. Who knew that I should pay attention to what I'm watching.

Lots of variations on the phrase "the inimitable side butt" have been popping into my head this week.

watched the last two episodes last night and i'm devastated

renewed!

the future child episode was the one that wrecked me this season

that episode was almost too brutal

still not sure that the second episode wasn't the most intense. amazing move to throw that one in after the beyond-zany opener

I totally missed the framing of the future child episode the first time I watched it. But also wrecked when I got it the second time through.

That penultimate episode with his mother reliving all her memories was an absolute gut punch. Beatrice has been such a horrible character but this season has really recontextualized her.

I just watched the "stupid piece of shit" ep last night and was in tears at the end, it was way too close to home.

season 1 finale hit close to home for me..find this show hard to continue to watch for that reason, some of this is so raw and familiar - not sure I need to be reminded

MPB OTM re: universe

oh my god this season is fucking incredible

Ready for season 5.

‘Future child’ was a definite gut punch episode for me.

Series 3 got pretty dark, so I wasn’t sure where things would go with this one, but it was pretty strong.

of course it went deeper into the family. probably the smartest depiction of the psychoanalytic process this side of In Treatment? one of the best series of television i can recall really. what the hell have they got in store for us

tt made the point to me that the newspaper subscription episode in either series 2 or 3 is literally a therapy session and an extremely truthful depiction to boot

Starring Candice Bergen!

This thread is amusing, needed some kinda giggle on a day like this

wooowwww congratulations you are the 10000000 person to ask that question your prize is the answer sept 14th now please stop asking me https://t.co/YlMPphjRdq

nice way of doing it

can't watch this cuz the coke stuff is deeply triggering (5 weeks clean)

congrats ross <3

i watched like 5 episodes during spring break (or winter break? i forgot) and then binged the rest of the episodes over the last week. holy shiiiiiiiiiiiiitt i love this show. comedy highs are todd and mr peanutbutter on terrible idea development jags ("what if there was a WEST dakota?" "i dunno, isn't that up to the state department?"

i have a strained relationship with my mom PLUS my grandma (and greatgrandma) spent their final years with dementia, guess which episode fucked me upppppppppp

Bojack is absolutely brilliant
Never thought I'd be almost crying to a Nina Simone song on a snarky cartoon horse show

tt otm

Season 5 available on 9/14.

This letter. Apparently BoJack has gotten the lead in a show called Philbert. And now we know how it ends.

I like how that letter simultaneously takes the piss out of Nic Pizzolatto and Matt Weiner.
