BoJack Horseman Season 6 Part 2 (2020) Review

BoJack Horseman is my favourite show. In my opinion, it’s the best show to grace Netflix. It’s been an incredible journey watching this masterpiece for the last 4 years. I was devastated when I heard that it was ending, but I’m glad this is the ending it got. This was the best possible ending this show could’ve received. It was so bold, so nuanced and yet somehow so delicate and gentle. It treated all of its characters so beautifully. I found myself in tears and smiling at the same time over the course of these last eight episodes. I think releasing the season in this way was the best thing they could’ve done. I’m going to be thinking about this ending for a long time. It taught me a lot, as a screenwriter, as a cinema enthusiast and as a person. It’s very rare when a show or film makes you grow as a person and somehow this show did. BoJack Horseman will probably be my favourite show for a long time and that’s for a reason. It’s the most nuanced and well-written show I’ve ever watched. Every moment is genuine and earned. Every character’s arc is fulfilled. Every story-line, neatly tied up. The entire season was this beautiful symphony and when it finally reaches its crescendo, it hits. And its hard. I’ve often found myself telling people to get through that first season because it gets really good from there. Now I’ll always tell people to relish that first season, to pay attention because everything pays off. Everything matters in this show. Goodbye BoJack Horseman. Thank you for making my life better when no one else could. I’ll miss you.
