    Speechless.

    I don't know if I've ever written a 10-star review for an episode of a show before. But, if this is the first, last and only one I ever write, then it is enough. I have chosen well.

    Will Arnett, as BoJack Horseman, is unstoppable. This episode, this brilliantly written, perfectly delivered episode, starred only one character, showcased only one voice, and even in this stripped down, vulnerable state, (maybe even because of it) was the most beautiful, most powerful, most devastating offering to-date. It was a five-year journey that culminated in a 26 minute speech that left me speechless. It wrecked me. No joke. It was so unapologetically broken, that it became, in fact, an act of bravery. I have never witnessed anything like this before and if I ever encounter something similar again, it still won't be able to hit me as poignantly as this did.

    I think the question has been answered. BoJack is more man than a horse.

    Never once does the show's animated nature enter the mind. This episode, which is essentially a monologue, is a doctoral level exposition into aging, into themes of hope and expectation, into the agony of grief, disappointment, love and the burden of the human condition. It was masterful.

    Give Will Arnett an award. Give him all the awards.

    Masterpiece.

    This episode should've been horrible. It should've been boring and lame, but somehow Will Arnett and the talented group of writers and animators turned this into a masterpiece. I've never seen an episode of a show done this way, animated or not. We are truly experiencing one of the greatest shows of all time.

    Made me cry

    I'm a grown man and this episode broke me. I sobbed for a good 15 minutes after this episode ended. I grew up in a typical Asian family and my parents had exceedingly high expectations of me. I don't remember a single instance growing up where my parents told me that they are proud of me, even if I did relatively well by societal standards. I have no doubt that they love me and will support me, albeit grudgingly at times, if my dream is against their wishes, but a lot of my problems as an adult came from my upbringing. I often feel insecure, that I'm not good enough, that I'm somehow inferiors to those high performers. Seeing Bojack trying to figure out what his mom meant by "I see you" just broke my heart. A brilliant episode and Will Arnett definitely deserves an Emmy for this incredible performance.

    This show just keeps delivering

    You'd think after 5 seasons I would expect greatness from BoJack Horseman but I'm still surprised and left in awe every season. Season 5 was consistently brilliant but every season they have that one episode that can honestly be considered the best episode of TV that year. And every season they keep keep raising the stakes with inventive storytelling. It is safe to say Free Churro lives up to the show's incredibly high standards and then some. I was starting to wonder if they were going where they went and if I would get bored but next thing I knew the 25 minutes were up faster than I could imagine.

    It is still fresh in my mind so harder to really analyze where this episode stands but it's easily in the very best episodes the show has made.

      BoJack Horseman: So I stopped at a Jack in the Box on the way here, and the girl behind the counter said, "Hiya! Are you having an awesome day?" Not, "How are you doing today?" No. "Are you having an awesome day?" Which is pretty shitty because it puts the onus on me to disagree with her, like if I'm not having an "awesome day," suddenly I'm the negative one. Usually when people ask how I'm doing, the real answer is I'm doing shitty, but I can't say I'm doing shitty, because I don't even have a good reason to be doing shitty. So if I say, "I'm doing shitty," then they say, "Why? What's wrong?" And I have to be like, "I don't know, all of it?" So instead, when people ask me how I'm doing, I usually say, "I am doing so great." But when this girl at the Jack in the Box asked me if I was having an awesome day, I thought, well, today I'm actually allowed to feel shitty, today I have a good reason, so I said to her, "Well, my mom died." And she immediately burst into tears. So now *I* have to comfort *her*, which is annoying, and meanwhile, there's a line of people forming behind me, who are all giving me these real judgy looks because I made the Jack in the Box girl cry. And she's bawling, and she's saying, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry," and I'm like, "It's fine, it's fine. I mean, it's not fine, but, you know, it's... fine. And I would like to order a Double Jack Meal, and I've kinda got somewhere to be, so maybe less with the crying and more with the frying, huh?" And the girl apologizes, again, and she offers me a free churro with my meal. And as I'm leaving, I think, "I just got a free churro because my mom died." No one ever tells you when your mom dies, you get a free churro.
