This latest season got released on Netflix last week sometime. I watched all 12 episodes in about 4 different sessions, and it was quite an emotional rollercoaster.
It's very sombre, in tone, compared to the first 2 seasons.
Bojack always had a self-destructive tendency, but it's really played up as a theme in this Season.
The storytelling is also surprisingly innovative; and a few episodes leave you going - wow - that is really funky.
But as a catalyst, a lot of the darker emotions - repeated failure, friendships devalued, pain and glamor, loss - really get nailed in.
That said, it has it's hilarious moments too, after all, it is ostensibly a comedy, but the depth of feeling and authenticity is really true. It also leaves me in some awe at the voice acting, and the large cameo cast that is utilized.
