8/10
Overrated

First of, it's not a bad show. I was able to watch all of it, and it's just not bad. But I wouldn't call it a masterpiece, or a show worth rewatching.

Other than season 1/ maybe 6, the overall plot to each season was just... Bad. I don't know how else to describe it. Again, not that bad cause I am giving it an 8, but definitely not the strong point of the show.

While BoJack does get good development, most other characters other than S1 are just stupid people running around. Dian is ok though.

Loads of people say this show is really deep, but really it has like 3 episodes with a storyline. Also the last two episodes are overrated. Second last episode had no atmosphere and feels to... Understandable and dragged out slightly. The last episode nothing happens. I get it's a character episode, but even that is just people having average conversation. It is still a decent episode, but 9.6? Is it really a Heaven Sent?

I do like, however, the universe of animal people. Also how it's never explained, but it does raise the question of whether all meat they eat is from intelligent life that has been killed, which feels like a slight plot badness.

The main success of the show is the wit of the writers. Everything feels so planned out and comes together in a really satisfing way. For example, Free Burrito. Sometimes the writers will do a quick ego boost by making a character say a bunch of alliterating words, which gets annoying after the first time.

I can tell the writers are good, but they didnt have enough material to make 6 seasons, as while there are highlights most of it is just watchable filler.
