Did anyone else feel really weird and kind of sad when they finished BoJack? It’s like the saddest I’ve ever been when finishing a show. It’s probably my favorite adult cartoon because it has a story and just feels real. I was hoping for a happier ending but I guess it wouldn’t make much sense. When we saw BoJack become a professor and turn his life around I was like hell yeah, good job this is shaping up to be a great ending. Then those two 50s style reporters showed up lmao. Then I realized it was gonna end with everything coming back to bite him in the ass, which makes perfect sense. I guess I was just hoping for something better for BoJack in the end. Did anyone else feel this way?

    After all the things BoJack has done, he has to keep living. His friends have moved on and the ending was really that. No closure. No happily ever after. Just looking down the barrel of a life defined by his horrible decisions.

    No. I thought the ending was excellent and real. The writers did a great job with the short amount of time they had to finish the series. I cry everytime I finish the show, but it’s a good cry.

      I agree. I thought the ending was great, but leading up to it I was rooting for BoJack until I realized he was gonna have to face the consequences of his actions.

    The show couldn’t possibly end another way in my mind, nobody is infallible and mistakes will get rectified one way or another. BoJack did the wrong thing and ran away from it, and that’s how the end result became so devastating.

    I think one of the last lines of the show pretty much sums up the only way this story could have ended: “Sometimes life’s a bitch and then you keep living.”

    I was so sure the show was going to end with Bojack’s death, but I’m kinda glad it didn’t. Even though there’s a lot of sadness at the consequences he has to live with, there’s still hope. He can still move on to make better choices and keep trying, but it’s up to him to put in the effort. His past will never leave him and so many things he did were completely unforgivable, but that doesn’t mean it has to stop him from working on himself. I don’t think the ending of his story is entirely bad, just bittersweet.

      I agree. I thought he was gonna die while watching the second to last episode with him in that dream state having dinner with all of the people he wronged that were now dead. I’m glad he didn’t die and the ending perfectly sums up what the show stood for.

    I too finished it just 2 days ago since this is a recent thread

    •If Bojack wouldn’t have waited that long, would Sarah Lynn have lived? If yes would it make any difference? Wouldn’t she just od some other time? I know she was sober before Bojack called her but wasn’t she just waiting for an opportunity?

    • How much did Bojack really change? Right after the first interview, we see Bojack telling pc how he nailed the interview treating it like some kind of acting gig, did he really care? Same thing at the wedding when pc tells him everyone is excited for the new movie and he again gets excited when told he could have the fame back, you could see it in PC’s reaction too while they dance

      It’s hard to say. I think Sarah Lynn might’ve still died, but timing is everything with stuff like that so she could’ve lived. And I think BoJack did change, at least a little. If he sticks with his new life and can maybe be a professor again I think he could have a shot at being better.
