What kind of watch this is
BoJack Horseman spends 32 hours dissecting what happens after the laugh track stops. Created by Raphael Bob-Waksberg, it follows a washed-up sitcom star trying to reclaim relevance in a world where people and animals coexist. The premise sounds like a joke about Hollywood, but the execution is a slow, painful look at how fame erodes self-respect. It is funny until it isn’t, then it hurts.
What the critics said
Critics were divided at first, but the show found its footing quickly. By the middle of its first season, reviews turned to consistent acclaim. Critics praised the series for its realistic take on depression, drug addiction, alcoholism, and celebrity status, alongside the ensemble cast’s voice performances. The existential plot lines did the heavy lifting, turning a quirky premise into something heavier. It’s the rare animated show that treats its characters like adults.
How it did with audiences
BoJack Horseman skipped the box office entirely. The audience verdict lives in the numbers instead. On TMDB, users rate it 8.5 out of 10. That is a high score for a show about a horse whose existential dread never quite hits the floor.
What came next for the cast
Will Arnett moved from G-Force and Blades of Glory to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows and A Series of Unfortunate Events. Aaron Paul followed Breaking Bad with Central Intelligence and Westworld. Alison Brie shifted from Community to The Post and Promising Young Woman. The credits do not claim the show caused these shifts. They simply list what followed.
