hi, I’ve been recommended bojack like an infinite amount of times throughout my life but never watched it because I have severe chronic depression, an ED and BD and I’ve just heard that the show can make it worse, is this true or is it something I’m missing out on?
The first two seasons can be hard to sit through because it sets up Bojack as someone who keeps doing these heinous and seemingly irredeemable things. But after that he gradually becomes more tolerable and sympathetic, and the rest of the characters start growing into their own roles and they have much more manageable and hopeful arcs. Overall it’s a show that’s absolutely worth watching just for the finale alone because it gives a fuller perspective on what recovery looks like. It’s messy, complicated, confusing, you’re not always going to get the closure you want, you’re still going to burn some bridges, and you still have to be held accountable for your past actions, but you can still keep trying to better yourself and you can still live life on life’s terms.
