A significant difference is that Bojack is self aware, and by the end of his single lifetime he improves and atones to some extent for his sins.
Eleanor doss not improve at all in her lifetime, she is remorselessly shitty her entire life. It takes her thousands of years in hell with a moral philosophy professor to atone.
However, Bojack does worse things (that we know of). I mean, I do think commenters here are downplaying how horrible it is to intentionally scam old people with fake medicine as Eleanor did, but as far as we know she never had a hand in killing anyone or sexually manipulated any teenagers.
Tbf, Eleanor was atoning mere weeks and months into being in the afterlife when she did things like give herself up. She was also much younger than BoJack when she died, so it might not be a fair comparison
I’d argue Elanore after 50 years of life (like 20 years in the Good Place) was better than BoJack
But Eleanor’s “lifetime” is like 30 years. Bojack is in his fifties when the show starts. Who knows if Eleanor would have changed too, in life, if she’d been able to reach middle age

Yeah you might be right. It’s hard to know the time line since they keep it deliberately vague, but she did improve quickly after meeting Chidi.
