This is the first review that I am writing, I know it might go unnoticed but I think this episode deserves it.
It has once again, not only surprisingly good writing, but thought too. I love how The Closer is able to guide him and slowly send subliminal messages comparing BoJack's life with a newspaper subscription.
I even wrote down one of the sentences of the show in my notebook: "There's something very intimate about watching a person be herself. - When you see someone as they really are, it ruins them". I am still having an internal debate about the last part, but I had never seen in a show (specially not cartoons) in which they put into words this feeling of your intimacy being violated when you realize someone has been watching you all along, and at the same time, the feeling of watching someone you love being themselves, without any kind of filter or adulterants.
Once more, everything combined with hilarious humour, I wouldn't change a thing about this episode nor this show. BoJack has come in a point of my life in which I don't know if its dark humour is doing me more harm than good, but to conceive of a show that can have an effect on people's emotions like that is every writer's dream, or it should be.
