BoJack Horseman, one of the most successful television shows of the last generation, came to an end six seasons later of January 2020. This begins with the common note that BoJack (Will Arnett) and Diane (Alison Brie) stand on the top of the tower to have a funny talk and instead take a deep turn before shutting the two in the quiet that is both uncomfortable and awkward.
The season finale of the rollercoaster saw BoJack rehabilitate him, become a lecturer at Wesleyan University. He has coped with the effects of one of his most miserable acts in the past, retreats super hardly, near to death and — finally — match up to the most significant people (and animals) of his existence. BoJack’s connections all ended up in very fine positions from Diene (Aaron Paul) to Mr. Peanutbutter (Paul F. Tompkins) to Queen Carolyn (Amy Sedaris).
And, as the sweet sounds of Catherine Feeny’s ‘Mr. Blue’ brought us to glory. It’s difficult to imagine a better stopping point for BoJack. It’s impossible to dispute that, though, creatively, but BoJack definitely seems to have left some gas in the tank. This is good — it shows that goodwill is not come quite often, so it’s best not to over-receive him.
In a discussion with NPR released the week after Netflix’s final scenes, the artist Raphael Bob-Waksberg from BoJack Horseman wax poetic about the history of the show and how he made an obvious dumb cartoon of talking about animals in order to answer problems that other artists are unable or would not reach.
With his latest Amazon show, Undone Waksberg went into the similarly heady territory, and as BoJack might be over, we feel he has not finished highlighting the political and personal challenges that characterize the human (or horseman) condition.
“The series that shot the world was not [BoJack],” he said. “It’s not Heroes, but it’s a people-related series. So any time I meet somebody who tells you know, you think your series meant anything, your show has changed the way I look at myself. Your show has allowed me to articulate a feeling I had that I have never understood.
