This season was fine. Definitely the weakest of the 4 seasons, but still enjoyable. Ruby, Adam, and Michael ended up being the best and most interesting characters these last 2 seasons - something I never saw coming.
Not only is this a perfect ending to this fucking madhouse of a show, but it captures the complete essence of what the show is really about, I think.
Sure, maybe I'm attributing too much to this last season, but I never felt, at any point throughout this whole series, that the writers did not know what they were doing, what they were going for, how they were going to end it. It all felt like this was the natural ending for, well, everyone.
Something that this show did so different from every single fucking other adult animation (or many other shows for that matter) is to show that it's not only willing to address and engage with difficult or more taboo topics, but it's more than willing to follow through with itself. How many gags ended up not being gags? How many situations came back in later seasons?
How many times did Bojack bring up the New Mexico shit? That happened in season 2! And it kept going!
What I'm trying to put together is that BJ was not going to shy away from the fact that it deals with topics in a grounded (and many times cynical) way, and this season is that promise coming to fruition.
From the get-go, Season Six offers us the idea of a happy ending for Bojack, because that's how this shit works in sitcoms, right? (This sort of thing is literally brought up in the last episode but whatever) But the reality is, Bojack did shitty things. And he has to make up for it. With the last two episodes literally being Bojack trying to kill himself and then going to prison only to come out and see everyone changed, or even in the case of Hollyhock, just disappearing from his life altogether, what part of any of this was not promised, in some way?
Do you really think you can just get off the hook for what you've done? That even though you atone for your sins, you try to make amends, that no matter how much you have grown and changed as a person, your past can't come back to haunt you? That other people won't change, that other people won't have an image of who you are now because they only have an image of who you were?
That's what I think the last scene of Season Six really doubles down on, as Diane so aptly says:
Sometimes life's a bitch, and you keep on living.
...so yeah I really liked this season, I think it delivered perfectly on everything it had promised (I totally did not binge this whole show in like two weeks) and I think the last season is the perfect way to have ended it. A terrifying look of confronting mortality and yourself, and the even more terrifying thought of being OK with it all.
This is probably the best season yet. My only complaint was that I found the finale to be a little disappointing (still very good though). Episode 6 (Herogasm) might be the best episode the show has had so far. At worst it is tied for best episode with the season 2 finale. Can't wait for season 4.
Against all odds, Netflix's "Arcane" pulls off an incredible feat. Through stunning animation, competent storytelling, and a heartbreaking score, the series paints a tragic world. It's full of loss and hardship. It deals with themes like progress, time, and civil war. But in the middle of this civil unrest is a tale about betrayal and sisterhood.
I'm ashamed I enjoyed this series less than others, but maybe after a rewatch, my mind will clear. If there's one thing I'm confident about, it's the series' visuals. Continuing the trend born from "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse", "Arcane" is 3D animated with a 2D aesthetic. The studio designed its characters this way, and it overlays 2D elements as well. If there's one reason to recommend this series, I assure you it's because of the visuals.
"Arcane" reminds us that our world is fractured. There are no "good guys" or "bad guys", simply those who are more fortunate and those who are just trying to get by. But it's difficult for both to create positive change, and this show displays that with grace and finesse.
Btw, Caitlyn is my favourite character. Don't @ me :P
I think the first half of the last season is a great return to form, that finally manages to get back to the level of excellence that Bojack Horseman always promised but only in season 3 consistently reached. Also, I like the vibe, how it's preparing the ending by reflecting on the past and touching an all characters. Very, very good. Let's see how it ends.
Oh man... I don't want it to end.
With this season, Bojack Horseman has cemented my opinion that it is the best TV show of all time.
This show should have been 2 seasons long, keeping the first and mixing the second and the third without a lot of stuff like peoples starring at paintings, entering rooms silently, and declaim pretty bad written redundant dialogues and monologues.
I think this show did put some useless complexity for comlexity's sake.
Get rid of the Adam and Eva religion inspired bullsh** and focus on the third world plot, and you'll have a solid show... but not this time i may say unfortunately.
Quite dragging arc which totally turns dark all of a sudden but worth it.
Pleased to have this show back on once again.
I like that the police procedural aspect of the show is now more direct than ever when it comes to being used as a framework for character development in a way that drives Lucifer's epiphany home in a much less confusing, much less time consuming way, for both the audience and him. The fact the new Netflix format allows only for 10 episodes has actually benefited the show quite a bit as there are next to no fillers at all, everything ends up tying back to either the central plot or character development.
Story wise, they had a very solid premise for this season and while sometimes the storytelling was slowed down a tiny bit by the police aspect of the show, it was still an intriguing journey that paid off in both story progression and character development, resulting in a conclusion that's unlike anything the show has offered before. Lucifer actually learns something for a change and the rest of the characters also follow suit and grow in the process thanks to their own neat, little arcs.
CGI/effects-wise, the transition from FOX to Netflix is very apparent. The effects were mostly smooth and aesthetically pleasing, though not fairly consistent as the quality did dip a little bit towards the end but not enough that it's painfully noticeable. Although, I appreciate that this time around, they went outside of their comfort zone and explored what more they could do with Lucifer's devil appearance and I've to say, they did a really good job.
Another few things though that deserve massive praise are the new soundtracks. Just absolutely wonderful, perfectly fitted to the show's theme and tone, perfectly capable of immersing you even further in the experience and just perfectly composed. I can not wait for 'em to be made publicly available.
Overall, the wait was worth it as this season was a very much welcomed breath of fresh air. I'm eager to see how the next season picks up from this finale's twist and the direction they decide to take it.
Ahhh, the true "Season 1" of Big Brother. While this game is much different than what the game is today, this is GREAT game and GREAT tv. To this day, Will is still arguably the greatest contestant, let alone winner to ever be on the show. He was hated in the house from day one, yet there is a reason people would still award him the money at the end. He played everyone like a fiddle, never took anything too seriously, and narrated his actions from the beginning. There will likely never be a play quite like Will again, and that is a shame. Very excited to get to Season 7 to relive the return of Chilltown. Anyways, definitely check out this season. This is the classic Big Brother that I fell in love with.
Rating: 9/10
Liked it a lot, Felt a little disjointed and all over the place at times but I have more positive thoughts on the show than negative. The main stories with Omni-Man and Invincible are solid through out the season but there is some characters that didn't have their story clearly told which is fine but I do think that's the one issue with the show is that there are just so many characters and not all of them are integral to the main story but they will have one or two episodes dedicated to them sometimes and that can really throw me off, Again overall I enjoyed it....I think it will be a little bit better on a re-watch given how confusing some of the early-ish/middle episodes can be that eventually get paid off (a little bit) down the road.
great but why is it a weekly release? The show, so far at least, is written for binge-viewing.
