Is this bojack?
(lemmy.world)
lmao, BoJack doesn't have any family silly
I haven't watched Bojack in a few years and while it was a great show it was getting really unbearable to watch . No matter what bojack did, they needed him to stay miserable to continue the show. I was almost relieved when it ended because despite bojack best efforts it was a constant piling of ways to make his life as miserable as possible and every glimmer of hope for a redemption arc was a mean to later beat down the character even further. In the end, what i took from the show was that no matter what you do you'll fuck it so hard it's gonna hunt you forever later so just end it already. Watching the show while depressed will surely push you further into depression.
I actually really liked the show, and it hit on really dark shit that I can absolutely relate to; and I'm disabled and have been fighting depression for a long time. The day I became disabled, my life ended, and I'm just waiting out the clock until by early demise; but I enjoyed bh.
I did enjoy it a lot too and I am pretty much like in your case. It's well written, the characters are all great but the main character started as miserable and ended up as even more miserable despite his many attempts at trying to fix things. I didn't expect happy story but every time bojack tries something to fix his life it ends up horribly horribly wrong. It was getting so bad that I jokingly thought that if they continued like this there will be a scene where bojack will be helping an old women cross the street, she randomly get hit by car and the writers will frame it as to blame bojack for the accident.
I think you missed the point because he didn't end up more miserable. He ended up better than he was, in little ways, sure, but in real ways. That's the point of the show, that life isn't some sitcom where everything gets wrapped up nicely.
There's always more show (life). The characters keep living, Bojack continues to struggle, but every day, he gets a little better.
The darkest episodes where my favorite episodes tho. The 2nd to last episode, the old sugarman place and times arrow are prob my top 3 episodes and all 3 of them are dark AF.
Times arrow was so good I immediately rewatched it after it ended.
They did the same thing with East Bound and Out. Like what the hell man, where's the redemption arc.
