  • The Ibsen callback in the last episode. Beatrice’s critique of Bojack’s work is often phrased as, It’s no Ibsen. I think in the free churro episode A Doll’s House is mentioned specifically but I can’t remember exactly.

    Henrik Ibsen was a Norwegian playwright from the late 1800’s. A Dolls House is about a married woman ‘lacking reasonable opportunities for self fulfillment in a male dominated world’ according to Wiki. It had a pretty controversial ending with the wife leaving her husband and children.

    A Dolls House is likely Ibsens most well known play, with Hedda Gabler a close second. If I remember correctly, Hedda Gabler is the play Bojack is working on with the prison theatre. So, call back to his mom’s beloved Ibsen.
