Hey, everyone. This is a series where I will be sharing my thoughts as I go through a show everyone in my circle recommended for the first time. It won't be exactly a first impression as whatever episodes I talk about will be watched at least three times before sharing these thoughts

Episode 8 - The Judge

BoJack Horseman joins Felicity Huffman's show "Felicity Huffman's Booty Academy" or F.H.B.A for short. The show takes a critical yet silly and comical approach to the reality of reality shows.

BoJack's attempts to protect Hollyhock lead to him saying all the wrong things.

Plot B is the more interesting one. Princess Carolyn joins Ralph in his family's annual reunion. There Princess Carolyn deals with certain anti-cat behavior that seems to be cultural in a comical way.

There's also a side plot with Mr. Peanutbutter supporting Woodchuck. The less said about that the better.

My Rating: 6/10

The episode is obviously a filler or another episode that solely exists to build up something more. The more is BoJack Horseman usually adds depth and more thought into these kinds of episodes.

Episode 9 - Ruthie

Princess Carolyn isn't having the best day ever as it starts with her getting fired by Courtney Portnoy before the day goes even worst as she finds out about things that happened behind her back which results in her making two big decisions. Princess Carolyn suffers setbacks in both her personal and professional life.

BoJack gets a taste of regular life as he starts a hunt for Hollyhock's birth certificate with the help of Diane. We watch BoJack and Diane go through that Kafka-eque reality of filling paperwork and standing in different lines.

My Rating: 8/10

The Princess Carolyn story was great as it showed us an in-depth look at her character and way of handling bad news. It also shows a dark side we haven't seen in her as we see that strong, independent people don't really become great life partners right away after depending on themselves for so long.

On the other hand, the BoJack Horseman and Diane story seemed to bring very little to the table but rather was the light story of the two, and to be honest, it did that job in a great way as both stories completed each other nicely.

Episode 10 - lovin that Cali lifestyle!!

This episode is divided into two timelines with each of its stories, divided by 7 days.

At first, we have Hollyhock suffering certain dizziness which sends her to the hospital with BoJack soon concluding that it was done thanks to him keeping drugs around the house before slowly trying everything together.

My least favorite storyline of Diane, Mr. Peanutbutter, and Woodcharles "Woodchuck" Coodchuck-Berkowitz election saga reach a conclusion as we see California's public opinion sways over the silliest things during the election for governor.

Princess Carolyn oddly finds herself connecting to a new project by an upcoming writer and director seeking to get it made into a series. Her story overlap with Todd's as he tries to help her out while saving his own clown-dentist business.

My Rating: 8/10

This was a great chaotic episode that somehow pulls all the chaotic movements into a connected, well-organized conclusion. The comedy in this episode was very well made. The ending of each story differs as one ends with a lot of drama, another seems like the beginning of something, and the third seems like approaching a very dark ending.

The title of the episode also perfectly seems to fit all stories which are rare so I have to give the show points there.

In Conclusion

These three episodes together have been the most digestible so far this season. The comedy was more hit than miss, we got rid of the California government storyline which pleases me the most as often it seemed like that story was written by a 12 years-old wannabe comedian pretending to understand politics, but still it had a funny joke or two.

As always, episode 11 is where the season's climax will be. I don't see many characters within the main cast that is at that breaking point that usually comes with the 11th episode.

These three episodes, or the last 2 in specific have encouraged me to watch the next two this weekend which is good.
