    Just beyond

    The cap of a very impactful and emotionally charged season. You can't find a better depiction of someone fighting their demons and fighting their addictions at every turn. BoJack continues to be a show with outlandish people and settings but is done so in a way that feels so familiar and sadly relatable to the world we live in. It actually creates a sympathetic view of a soul who wants to be better yet can't find away to get out of their own way. It's a stark reminder that life doesn't always have happy endings and things don't always go as planned, but with the right people, not even better people than ourselves,we still have hope that we can be better. The best show I've watched in years and hope more is to come

    Nothing gets REALER than BoJack on TV right now

    Wow. There's really nothing much more to say. The fact that I'm crying as this episode ends is honestly just the tip of the iceberg on what has to be one of the most emotional depictions of a troubled personality ever put to screen. It really doesn't get any better than this.

    Review By Kamal K

    BoJack continues to amaze, depress, and restore me. I'm not sure how it's possible for a show to push sitcom boundaries episode after episode while making me feel deeper and laugh harder than I have at any one other show. And it isn't just BoJack's story that provides that mix - it's the entire supporting cast. Each main character gets special attention from the writers, who deftly interweave the personal traumas and joys of each character into a satisfying larger narrative whole. Attention to detail in the animation continues to be platinum-level, as is the voice cast. BoJack Horseman S5 continues to be one of the fiercest, funniest, and devistating shows on Netflix.

    I need help!

    That line was the most real thing I ever heard BoJack say! This felt like the greatest moment for his character, as he came to terms with himself and descided to act on it!

    The interview was dark and sad, as it showed a realistic look on what could easily happen today! When you cant afford the attention.. but can you live with what happened? This was powerfull commentary amd felt like the moment, that changed BoJack!

    We are not all perfect! No one is perfect! No good or bad... just people... doing things and making choices! The important thing is how we respond to the things we do! Sometimes.. we need someone to say.. that is alright to ask for help!

    To sum up it's like another opportunity for Bojack and Mr.P becoming real a$$ h0le.

      During the scene with Diane and Stefani in the restaurant, a rabbit and a turtle in running shirts can be seen. The rabbit is drinking heavily, while turtle is celebrating - a clear reference to Aesop's fable "The Tortoise and the Hare."
    • Quotes

      BoJack Horseman: I don't understand why you're being so nice to me. After everything you know about me, and all the shit I've put you through.

      Diane Nguyen: When I was in high school, I had this friend. Abby. She was my only friend and we did everything together. Until she got adopted by the cool kids, and then she turned on me, so fast. She used every secret she knew about me, every vulnerabilty. She made me miserable my entire sophomore year. But then that summer, when her mom got sick, like really sick, and all her cool friends were off vacationing in Martha's Vineyard, I was there for her.

      BoJack Horseman: Why?

      Diane Nguyen: Because I'm an idiot. And it was Abby. And I hated her, and I will never forgive her, but she needed me, and... she was my best friend, and I loved her. And now... you're here, and I hate you, but you're my best friend, and you need me.
