  • I usually hate when shows end with “he might have died he might have survived” kinda endings (that one anime about a British prince comes to mind. And another anime about a bounty hunter I guess)

    But with Bojack I actually kinda like the ambiguity. Is it a deathbed hallucination? Is it reality? You can’t really tell, and it makes you feel eerie, like you yourself are in the middle of a hallucination or something, experiencing it together with Bojack. Or you could say that what’s happening is the actual reality, the wedding, the closures, the last conversation with Diane - and get satisfaction from that. There will be no confirmation one way or another because the show is over. Mr Blue starts playing, and the Bojack universe closes down. We can’t tell what’s on the other side, there’s no other side.

    I can’t think of another show where that feeling of ambiguity, the feeling of not knowing for sure hadn’t frustrated me. But idk here it kinda works
