Has a very Archer-esque vibe to it, with a hint of Family Guy-style cutaways. I enjoyed how the anthropomorphic animal shtick is more or less taken for granted on the show, but not so much that you can't have things like cats hissing and raccoons rummaging through garbage. Bojack's baby fear sequence was the highlight for me. There was a lot of setup. (It's a first episode after all.) But the humor clicked for the most part, and the premise, while pretty contrived, has promise.

Wow. Not what I expected.

I expected it to be more light-hearted and funnier, but BoJack has a seriously dark undertone that made me depressed. It's still a good first episode, though. I'm interested. The sex jokes weren't too obnoxious, and the animation is tolerable. And so far, nothing was laugh-out-loud funny. We'll see.

"Back in the '90s, I was in a very famous TV show."

This line summarises BoJack's character at the moment. He used to be famous, but now he's depressed. He does nothing all day but reminiscent of the old days. To see his almost lonely existence and the show where he's a father of three children being the only thing to make him laugh or smile was so sad.

I'm guessing it'll be more light-hearted in the future. I don't know. It wasn't dull, but I did check when it would end twice throughout.

It's okay.

6.5/10

Right from the first episode, the show seems pretty down-reaching. A sitcom which points out the hypocrisy in our daily life.

Great concept, a very very good casting. A first episode that puts a solid base for the characters, story and humor style. I still have a hard time seeing how it can span 6 seasons, but we'll see. Several real laugh out loud moments, which is pretty rare for me, so I have high hopes for what comes next.

Finally making some time to kind of binge Bojack instead of watching it weekly. Pilot is nothing like the show would eventually become but it is still fun.

Bojack is me with the anxiety attack and taking it easy for 18+ years. I too didn’t write the piece that I should’ve written since the start of this quarantine. Just eps 1 and I’m loving this series!

Also, I decide to watch this series after I saw a YouTube video comparing it to the Good Place.
