Thank you for summarizing this. Also, add to number 4 he went back around all of his exes for Hollyhock in spite of his discomfort.

That depends on how many years sooner. A few years sooner no and then you’re right. Years sooner meaning close to the time it happened than yeah, according to Herb he would have forgiven him and welcomed his friendship.

All BoJack would have had to say is look man I really tried but that Angela had me by the balls. Which she did and Herb could understand that.

It was the loss of friendship and support Herb needed that was the real transgression. But it did deliberately show them becoming more distant as BoJack became an obnoxious star so they really weren’t that close at that point.

Not too long. One season too short.

Lmao just because you initially completely missed it whoosh! and haven’t wrapped your mind around it yet doesn’t make it “bad analysis.” It just means you missed it and from your own words it sounds like you have an overly narrow definition of what white privilege is and what it looks like beyond your narrow understanding of it. It’s all through out with his character not just the one time they explicitly mentioned it. Sorry you missed it but you might want to actually rewatch it with this in mind rather than deflecting.

You might want to rewatch with different eyes. This is very clearly there and not a “shitty” commentary at all but actually a very adroit skillful commentary on it. It’s not “over analysis” just because you don’t get it.

The clown dentist thing was insufferable. And I didn’t care about his chair drone.

But worse he gets a pass and no one ever nails him for how he created a sexual predator CEO and even darker turning the Cabracadabra concept upside down for profit.

Still his character is important as a commentary on white male privilege where he’s likable and success is ridiculously easy for him while he’s basically clueless about the impact of his privilege. The funniest line is when he meets another celebrity couch surfer and we realize there’s more of him out there.

Season one is only an issue the first time through for new watchers who don’t yet get where the show is going to go or it’s humor. Upon rewatches it’s great.

Yes, many others have indeed noticed this. There are even discussions about it here had you searched.

That Penny would’ve been far less traumatized had her mother not interrupted them.

That Sarah Lynn was responsible for for Sarah Lynn’s death.

I prefer this view but it sure upsets a lot of people!

Guilt. He needed to believe it turned out ok for her after all.

Agree. I prefer this interpretation but it upsets a lot of people.

Yes I think so. Relationships change and morph. Both of them are very relational. They are brother and sister and clearly have a love for each other.

She had already gone into low contact with him but mostly because she didn’t need him - She had found what she set out for when she originally reached out, and now she was having fun at college and busy with other things. She didn’t even show up for something really important to him on campus. Teens/young adults are self absorbed like that. And the last thing they want is to be embarrassed by a family member with friends at one of their parties. She is in a time in her life that she doesn’t need him but she’s not cruel and she’ll come back around in the future.

Didn’t Honey let her have one at the bar victory celebration?

I know you think you’re onto something, but I really find it hard to believe Beatrice lived her whole life as an adult without ever tasting ice cream. She did move on from her parents at a young age. She knew what it tasted like. The point was that Bojack turned and entered into her dementia approaching her with kindness for once instead of being angry and hateful.

Because Paige is an antagonist and is flawed herself, threatening (successfully) BoJack’s world to bring him down. She has the flawed anti hero trying to undo the flawed anti hero.

Like he would have been better off if he had died in his pool.

I always felt I was missing something to it. This makes me realize it’s exactly face value.

It feels like you missed the point of the show in how you’re framing this question. There are no good and bad people. There’s just people who all have their traumas and reasons why they act the way they do. I would not even agree with you that Bojack himself is “morally corrupted.”
