Prickly Muffin

So we get the first appearance of Sara Lynn, who had a tough time with BoJack as a kid, and she eventually gets like almost every media whore out there, craves attention, replaced later, and fallen into a deep place. Then we get BoJack saying everything is society's fault, which is funny because sometimes, it is.

This wasn't the best, but this is the only season that wasn't so overall, not bad.

I love Sarah Lynn as a character. She is interesting, complex, and very fun. But her introduction does not show any of this. She, quite frankly, comes off as a jerk here. A decent satire of Hollywood and child stardom, yes, but not a very complex or likable character. This really drags the episode's rating down a couple of points for me, which is sad, because there are so many other good things about this episode, especially with BoJack's character. For one, you begin to see how terrible he really is. In the first two episodes, you just see him being kind of petty and jokingly bad. Now you can see him doing some truly awful things. At the same time, you can now see his sympathetic side. He isn't fully fleshed out yet, but he is now interesting, and you can see some of his character motivations.

Overall, a good episode for BoJack made worse by a bad introduction to Sarah Lynn - 6/10.

Bojack reconnects with a former sitcom co-star.

This episode has some funny moments, but it's more of a darkly humorous take on the personal life of a child star who has had a less than ideal start in life, plus the troubles that come from fame and falling out of the limelight. Plenty of this is recognisable in various real life individuals who the writers do not name.

Lots of the humour is derived from the banter between characters. There are a number of in-jokes and pop culture references that work well.

Sarah Lynn is portrayed as bratty and out of control, but the writers paint a sad picture of her backstory. There are some interesting, albeit unsubtle points made about nature vs nurture.

I feel this episode deserves a 6 stars rating, even when I liked Sarah Lynn during the series.

It shows us what every child in her position of fame does, leaning to making music and doing drugs; until her career starts to go only downhill.

Wasn't a funny episode, and we got to see how Bojack abused Sarah Lynn verbally in the TV Show Horsin' Around, and Sarah Lynn's mother didn't care about her daughter's safety or integrity.

I don't know if it's the guilt that Bojack feels for how he treated her in the past, or what it is that makes him feel obligated to invite her to his house and allow her all the things she wants.

Wasn't really funny but was interesting to watch. Decent episode.
