2 years before the #MeToo movement exploded, Bojack was spot in the money with the sad reality for many who were abused and accused the famous. It's one of the first times Bojack really starts to venture and into social issues, and it does it in a way that's mature. A statement of what the show will go on to do, and an episode that's perhaps one of the saddest when given thought.

Diane, Front and Center
Hitchcoc11 March 2021
Diane takes the heat for accusing a celebrity hippo of sexual misconduct. She is supposed to be helping Bojack with his book tour, but she becomes the center of attention. Todd gets mixed up with international terror. Peanutbutter finally has misgivings about something. This is politically charged and quite watchable.

Very close to masterpiece. I really didn't want her to give up so quickly. Episode was really realistic, because it's happening in nowadays when women are accusing famous men for brutal activities no one believes in them, which is really sad.
The sad reality!

This episode hit me more than I thought by providing a thoughtprovocing take on a "woman accussing a famous man of sexual harrasment" that felt all to real!
This episode does a great job of commenting on who the real victim is and who society sees as the victim! Diane never wanted the attention! She did not do this for her sake... she did it for the victims and the possible future victims! Instead.. all that came out of it was her.. she took the spotlight.. not the offender!
This was much darker and emotional than I thought! This show expertly handles topics that most shows would stear clear off!
Amazing episode that leaves you feel like Diane at the end!

Solid and topical episode for the era

Diane causes a stir during BoJack's book tour.
This episode tackles an interesting topic with both humour and serious moments.
The timing of this story is the most interesting aspect as it predates the Weinstein revelations and resulting attitude changes in the mainstream media. It is obvious to see who Hank Hippopopalous is based upon and the story works well. I particularly like the MSNNBsea media lampoonery that is always enjoyable. BoJack's attitude towards losing the limelight is funny.
Todd's subplot involving the Prince of Cordovia is pretty entertaining too and I hope it all leads in an interesting direction.
For me it's a 7.5/10, but I rounds upwards.
