The Old Sugarman Place

I would say that about 90% of this show's episodes are just silly little self-contained satires, which are fun enough but ultimately forgettable. However, the show always takes a couple of episodes of each season and uses them to take more of a deep dive into the psyche of our central character, and every time they've done this it's turned out fantastically. Mind you, this episode didn't have the big, shocking, "I can't believe they went there" moment of the season (I expect that will come in the penultimate like it always has), but it does have a lot of emotional resonance and intelligent commentary on the characters as well as the society surrounding them.

The most striking element of this episode is the way it uses flashbacks, and weaves them in with the present-day narrative. We see Bojack move into his grandparents' summer home and begin to bond with the nearby neighbour, and at the same time we also see a story about his grandparents set in that same location many years prior. By playing these two seemingly unrelated stories out simultaneously, it highlights overlapping themes and comments on the way history repeats itself (particularly in families, particularly in small towns). Both plots also had surprisingly emotional endings.

In summation, this is one of those episodes of Bojack that goes for a little more depth and succeeds marvellously.

One of the best episodes of the show! I don't know why is so underrated but it deserves more love! Is so sad and so necessary. Greetings from Argentina.

This episode just reached a different level of how far this show is willing to get! This was an unforgetable experience of how grief consumes you to the point of desperation!

This gave us an insight into the tragic and damageing past of BoJack's mom, Beatrice! I never thought I would see something like this in this show! I wont spoil it, but it was shocking and awfully sad! Too see someone... do something like that to a person they love!

This gave a new perspective on Beatrice, as we now know why she seemed so cold, unable to show any emotions.. cause her mom was never able too! My god..

Overall this was very well made, proving why anyone should start watching this show!

Times Arrow!

I've never written a review here before, but I couldn't help it this time.

This episode was amazing, definitely the best of the season. In "The Old Sugarman Place", we see what BoJack has been doing since season 3 ended, and he doesn't disappoint.

The B story in this episode is not based around the characters we're used to, but instead is based around Bojack's grandmother, managing to create an amazing connection with the viewer in less than half an hour.

I won't say more. This is an episode you need to experience by yourself.

It was really nice to see ghost/back story of everything. The main idea was very nice that's impossible to fix everything what is broken something you have to remove it from your life.
