BoJack Horseman: The Most Underrated Satirical Netflix Series

He’s half horse, half man and to me, all the rage. It has surprisingly been four years since I stumbled upon this crazy Netflix original, BoJack Horseman, in which the main character of the same name, struggles with his sad reality 20 years after his hit sitcom, Horsing Around, and the fame with it fades, leading him to write a biography. If you like mainstream media and more sarcasm than you thought you could possibly hear in a 26-minute interval, this show is what you should’ve started binge-watching yesterday.

This adult animated series, which takes place in Hollywoo (no, I did not misspell that) is full of famous cast members. Some you might have forgotten about, but know that they are still alive and funny as ever. The main voice cast consists of Will Arnett as BoJack, Alison Brie as Diane Nguyen (the reporter that follows BoJack around in order to write a book about him), Amy Sedaris as Princess Carolyn (BoJack’s agent and former lover) and Aaron Paul as Todd Chavez (BoJack’s somewhat hobo of a friend). Although most of the characters above play animated humans, there are also other people who are like BoJack, half animal/ half human. Mr. Peanutbutter, for example, is a golden retriever with human characteristics and BoJack’s television rival. Many of these character’s stories are also followed whether they involve BoJack or not.

The first season will have you rewinding scenes because it was too funny the first time to just watch it once. Like my favorite scene where BoJack is trying to get attention by dumping a bag of $1 bills from the top of a building but the people don’t care because “dollar bills are for poor people”. Just as the news crew is about to leave, Beyoncé walks past singing and slips on the money, hurting her ankle. Roll in all the Beyoncé/ Destiny’s Child references as possible, “Ring the alarm, irreplaceable pop icon and independent woman Beyonce has been injured… ‘We are told that she fell on all the single dollars.’ ‘All the single dollars?’ ‘All the single dollars.’ ‘Bills. Bills. Bills.’”

The second season gets serious, very quickly when BoJack starts filming his dream role Secretariat which he bonds with more than he thought. This season is almost depressing but that’s only because it strikes a big enough nerve that anyone can really relate to it. Like when a bamboo running finds BoJack on the ground trying to get his breath back says, “Everyday it gets a little easier. But you’ve got to do it every day. That’s the hard part. But it does get easier.”

The third season comes back with the laughs while still dealing with the real daily problems adults face in a world where you must realize that life goes on with or without you, while promoting his Secretariat film. The last season plays with the ramifications of BoJack’s reckless actions of his past while satirizing politics and hot button issues that have been seen on the news time and time again lately.

In Season 3, a big topic that made me feel guilty about laughing at was pro-choice or pro-life when a pop star had false scare through social media but rolled with it by making a song. This season, the topic is gun violence and the power it gives men and women or lack thereof, showing that the government would rather ban gun rights than let women use it. Despite these topics being broad and debated about since the beginning of time, the show makes it so that the audience can have a more open opinion on the matters through laughter.

A reason for believing that BoJack Horseman is underrated is how they demonstrate a person’s mental state. Although, I feel like mental instabilities are becoming more mainstream in television (thanks to Netflix’s 13 Reasons Why) and grabbing more attention, it also does it from more than one perspective with a different tone to each. As the more-than-chipper Golden Retriever Mr. Peanutbutter told his wife Diane, “The universe is a cruel, uncaring void. The key to being happy isn’t a search for meaning. It’s to just keep yourself busy with unimportant nonsense, and eventually, you’ll be dead.” Or even coming from a teens perspective, Hollyhock asks Bojack, “Like, sometimes I have this tiny voice in the back of my head that goes, like, ‘Hey, everyone hates you! And they’re not wrong to feel that way!’ […] That voice, the one that tells you you’re worthless and stupid and ugly? It goes away, right? It’s just, like, a dumb teenage-girl thing, but then it goes away?” No matter how grim those quotes might sound, the writers of BoJack Horseman have a way of making you think about such grand themes of life in the most subtle ways. It makes you, the audience member, appreciate the show a little bit more each episode and that is why, four years later, I continue to keep up with a show that doesn’t get the buzz that it deserves.
