I don’t think Bojack Horseman is supposed to be tragically poetically beautiful in that way. It’s rougher and more realistic that he has to actually pick himself and try to build a better life again. That’s the more relevant story.

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
