BoJack Horseman: Nice While It Lasted (2020)
Unexpected, But Formidable
The last episodes of "Bojack Horseman" made me realize how fragile our existence is and that we're one decision away from a different path in life.
The show may not seem as deep at first glance, but once you get hooked on, there's no going back. It depicts life more accurately than any other tv series I've watched (paradoxically, given the fact that the main character is a horse). The ending feels well earned, since the audience would've expected to encounter a dull pattern a.k.a. the guy gets the girl and they elope immediatelly after.
I think the emotional response from the fans is linked to the authenticity of the plot. Bojack is held accountable for his wrongdoings and punished to watch all of his friends growing apart from him. "Life's a *beep* and then you keep living".
Nonetheless, it's a masterpiece. "Bojack Horseman", although it's a cartoon, had a heavy impact on me. It got me thinking about certain aspects of my life, and made me realize I'm sometimes my own saboteur. A hard pill to swallow if you think of it. I could relate to all characters to some degree and "The View from Halfway Down" had me in tears. I could feel what Bojack was feeling-- that was a confirmation the series was beyond great!
To everyone who worked on this project, on Bojack's universe, I salute you! You did an amazing job! Thank you for everything!
