BoJack Horseman is an American animated sitcom created by Raphael Bob-Waksberg. The series stars Will Arnett as the title character BoJack Horseman. Supporting cast includes Aaron Paul, Amy Sedaris, Alison Brie, and Paul F. Tompkins. The series premiered on August 22, 2014, on Netflix.[1]

Premise

The series is set in a world where humans and anthropomorphic animals live side by side, specifically focusing on the life of washed-up former sitcom star BoJack Horseman as he plans his big return to celebrity relevance with a tell-all biography that he dictates to his ghostwriter Diane. BoJack also has to contend with the demands of Princess Carolyn, Todd, and Mr. Peanut-Butter.

Characters

  • BoJack Horseman (voiced by Will Arnett) - An anthropomorphic horse who is a former sitcom star.
  • Princess Carolyn (voiced by Amy Sedaris) - An anthropomorphic pink cat who is BoJack's on-and-off girlfriend who doubles as his agent.
  • Todd (voiced by Aaron Paul) - BoJack Horseman's slacker roommate.

Episodes

Critical reception

The series received mixed reviews from critics, with a rating of 55 out of 100 on Metacritic (based on 11 reviews), indicating "mixed or average reviews".[2] Erik Adams' review of the first season gave it a C+ grade; in it, Adams wrote that the show "spoofs the emptiness of celebrity, but does so without any novelty or true insight."[3]

At Slate, Willa Paskin was more enthused. "[It] is perhaps a little more clever than it is uproariously funny, but it is often very clever, and, moreover, well-tuned to the ludicrousness of the sort of low-level fame that surrounds BoJack." She likened it to 30 Rock in its ability to "[present] big ideas without having to commit to them."[4]
