That stayed true until its subversively somber finale, which sacrificed the show’s flair for bombastic, pun-friendly hijinks for something more emotionally searching and intensely gratifying in its own unexpected way.
One of the great joys in watching BoJack Horseman was discovering all the ways it continued to reinvent itself while never straying too far from its intentions.
For a series centered around a drunk horseman, these final moments were oddly, movingly human, and it showed even more sides of these well-developed characters than we saw before.
Even when BoJack’s life choice were repetitively self-destructive, the show’s individual flourishes — as well as its willing attitude to try different character beats and dynamic new perspectives — offered a fresh, lively series that constantly excelled.
