Elaborating: I feel like they could have done what Kubrick did with A Clockwork Orange. That is Stanley Kubrick didn’t allow Alex to grow (he actually reverted) past his droogish ways. That made the movie great!
I feel like BoJack was who he was, not good nor bad, and it should have ended that way.
Him trying to grow/change is perhaps just a quick way to end the show on a happy note.
i don’t feel like the show ended on a happy note, i felt like it ended largely neutrally. bojack is still in prison and he has long time friends (two of them) but they hold him at a distance, he has the possibility of relapse, and his friend who was pretty much closest to him essentially implied they would never talk again. even in the conversation he had with todd in the finale, bojack showed he wasn’t entirely clear of his need to be liked in the public eye. anything can happen with him, but regardless he needs to work for it. i love a clockwork orange, but the story and characters are very different from bojack.
Bojack lost all his friends. He’s in prison. His public reputation is down the toilet and likely will never be recovered. The threat of relapse still looms over him.

Neutral is right, it felt happy to me compared to the rest of the show since seemed at peace perhaps due to him having the near death experience.
It wasn’t happy though.
