i think i watched the first 4 or 5 of bojack and i wanted to like it but just couldn't really get into it. funny people in it but just wasn't feeling it.

I can't believe y'all don't like bojack... it's head and shoulders my favorite show out there, and it's not even close.

The show really takes a turn for the better at around the same time you stopped.

I recommend "Long Shot" on netflix. It's about how curb your enthusiasm saved a man from death row.

it was somewhat bizarre but a good quick watch at only 40 minutes of running time.

The underwater episode in season 3 is arguably the greatest episode in the history of animated situation comedy, maybe all situation comedy. Once this show started firing on all cylinders it never really stopped and it's seemed to peak a few times, only to find a new peak.

It's sort of vital that you buy into a TV show that wants, with every ep, to explore feeling isolated and lonely when you're surrounded by a lot of people and have fame and a lot of things. Which is pretty dark, and not dark in a Seinfeldian way, but a deeper dark
