BoJack Horseman

Season 1

Will Arnett stars in the Netflix original animated series BoJack Horseman. The show follows the washed-up star of a '90s sitcom, BoJack Horseman, and in Season 1 he works with a ghostwriter to writer his memoir; but he's reluctant to open up and is concerned about tarnishing his image. It's an interesting premise and allows for a number of fun stories. However, the world that's setup is bizarre, with a combination of human and animal-people characters (horses, cats, dogs, etc., with animal heads and human bodies). And this lends to a lot of jokes based on wordplay; which are hit and miss. But overall the comedy is pretty sharp, with some clever Hollywood satire. Arnett is especially good, and brings his own unique personality and charisma to the role. Plus, a host of guest stars make appearances throughout the season; including Olivia Wilde, Patton Oswalt, J.K. Simmons, Wallace Shawn, Judy Greer, and Naomi Watts. Season 1 of BoJack Horseman is a little rough around the edges, but it delivers a ton of laughs.
