Both Euphoria and BoJack discuss mental health issues and substance abuse (mainly coming from the main character). Does anyone know of other shows like that?

    Moral Orel, but it’s the main character’s dad who has the drinking problem. It’s got the same contrasting styles of lighthearted absurdism and bleak nihilism that Bojack has. Genius piece of media.

      I recently got into Moral Orel and it’s gone very high on my list of shows I love. I’m so sad that we never got the whole experience as the writers intended because of the cancellation :( Kind of the same thing that happened to Bojack. Such a shame.

        I didn’t hear about this, what was the intended route for the plot of Bojack (before cancellation)?

          Bojack was meant to have a couple more seasons. And because they cancelled it, they let the creators have 16 episodes in last season to try and wrap things up. I think they just decided to wrap up most of the loose ends, but you can tell some things feel a little rushed. Like for instance,I’d say that the princess Carolyn and Judah’s storyline feels rushed. I’ve seen people say that they like it that way, but to me it feels like there was meant to be more.
