      The Showstopper - 9.8/10

      Great chapter in the very Fight club style. It is incredible what I felt when I saw this title. With above all that ending that leaves you thinking and at the same time with your mouth open.

      .................

      I really don't know what to say, that ending left me with a strange feeling that I can't get out of my head. The only thing I can say is that ... it's perfect.

      Breathless

      It is episodes like these that really make Bojack Horseman such a phenomenal show.The viewer is put in a mind bending twist that goes back and forth altering from reality to acting as if the viewer is actually inside Bojack's mind.I am certain that every time you rewatch this episode, you will get a different perspective and come up with a new conclusion about what is really going on...yet the episode is still elusive and makes you doubt everything you think you understood soon s=after watching it

      Incredible

      Episode 11 has always been a stable of sad (and genius) episodes of BJ. This episode is no exception to that rule. The last two minutes genuinely made me feel nauseous and I mean that in the best way possible.

      Unsettling experience!

      What a crazy episode that has left me empty of words! I feel... different after this! I am sitting here, and ultimately I feel sad and disturbed!

      This was a disorienting descend into paranoia, as BoJack looses his grasp on reality and identity as his character blends in with his life!

      This was a slow descend into madness, ultimately culminating in a very dark moment, that felt like the ultimate culmination of his addiction! It was sad and tragic to see BoJack in this state, not knowing what was going on around him!

      This show keeps improwing, coming up with an experience that you have not had yet!
