BoJack Horseman (2014)
BoJack Horseman is a 2014 animation series created by Raphael Bob-Waksberg. It stars Will Arnett, Aaron Paul and Alison Brie.
BoJack was the horse at the center of a beloved 90s sitcom, and twenty years later he is a washed-up, hard-drinking mess in the Hollywood hills. In a Los Angeles where humans and talking animals mix without comment, he lurches through a memoir project, old grudges, and the wreckage of easy fame. The jokes come fast and the sight gags never stop, but the show keeps turning to loneliness, self-sabotage, and the long tab that comes due. Sharp, sad, and funnier than its bruises should allow.

A few thoughts on BoJack Horseman
The comedy and the ache come tangled together here, so go in ready for both. It uses its talking-animal world to say plain, hard things about depression and celebrity. Sit with the slower episodes; that is where it lands hardest.
Character dramas about people carrying heavy pasts
BoJack Horseman hides real damage under fast jokes, following a self-sabotaging star who cannot outrun his own history. These dramas also build around flawed, wounded characters making bad choices and living with them, trading the comedy for weight but keeping the same interest in why people wreck the things they love.
Long-running series for a deep comfort binge
BoJack rewards a full-series watch, and when you reach the end these are the kind of long, easy shows that keep the couch warm. They lean procedural and episodic rather than heavy, the sort of reliable, hours-deep television you put on when you just want something to keep going.
