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 1 - A Horse Walks into a Rehab

Season 5 ended with BoJack checking himself into rehab, this season started with him showing progress and possible growth in a positive light. Yet, we see that internally getting into his own head. BoJack tries to help one of the people in the rehab centre from relapsing with her story slightly contrasting with his.

Through flashbacks, we get to see how BoJack's addiction to alcohol began and while it doesn't matter at first, we slowly how messed up the situation is the younger he gets until we get a look at the product of a destroyed home.

My Rating: 8/10

The episode starts the season with a great tone, it sets up for what is to come in the season, which seems to be that it is time to confront the demons. The very first scene of the episode shows the direct aftermath of what happened between BoJack and Sarah Lynn during their drunken bender which shows that it will play a significant role in this season.

The only downside is that the parts of BoJack attempting to keep the person he befriended in the rehab centre feel a little forced and accelerated as a story. Also, as I mentioned at the end of season 5, this arc really feels like a copy of House's arc with his pills addiction beat for beat. Ironically, it was also late season 5/early season 6 in House MD where that occurred as well. I am not saying they actually stole it, but I am saying I have seen it, and I have seen it done much better.

Episode 2 - The New Client

The New Client deals with two stories mainly, the first one is about Princess Carolyn's days after having yet another nanny leaves her adopted baby forcing her to take care of her with minor assistance while doing her job as a producer. We get to go through a day in the life of Princess Carolyn while she is doing her job while having her baby. The episode provides a deeper level at both aspects of her life as a single mother and as a producer. Eventually, this proves too much for her and she learns about the ability to delegate.

The second story, however, is about Mr Peanutbutter and his guilty conscience internalizing the fact that he cheated on Pickles with Diane, multiple times. We see him remind himself and us the audience that he cheated.

Everything ends up working out for the best in a happy little ending as Princess Carolyn finally names her baby, Ruthie which is a nice call back to episode 9 from season 4

My Rating: 7/10

Before we start the episode itself, let's talk about the new intro. While BoJack Horseman's intro has always been interesting, this one takes the cake as while the others were from a perspective of an addict, in denial BoJack, this one seems to be coming from a sober one who is very aware of his past mistakes and remembers all the things he's done.

The Princess Carolyn saga was entertaining and even informative to watch. The editing in this episode really painted well how difficult raising a child as a single mother who has a busy job can be. This episode would have been ranked a lot higher if that was the only part they focused on.

However, the show seems to have problems letting go of some of its characters who serve little purpose now, namely Mr Peanutbutter and Todd. I get the need of having them around and I didn't mind Todd in this episode but giving Mr Peanutbutter a whole arc, extremely unrelated from the rest, comes off as annoying. It is okay that you don't have ideas for everyone.

Episode 3- Feel-Good Story

This episode is very Diane-based. We watch her and her cameraman Guy travel around the United States while working for Girl Croosh. We see Diane's professional and even love life hit a new stride as she chases interesting stories, the type she was always interested in chasing. The fact that we were hearing BoJack's letters to Diane throughout the episode adds a nice tone.

We slowly start seeing the self-sabotaging Diane show up a little bit, but unlike previous times, we finally see her make a decision that is actually good for her, her mental health, and her love life as a whole.

We get to see the show once again trying to make a social/political point by exaggerating all the aspects to seem right.

My Rating: 8/10

This seems to be the tone of the episodes this season as everyone seems to be moving on to a better world, the fact that all of this was happening while BoJack was away does seem to paint an idea that he was a source of negativity holding all of them down which leads me to my issue with this episode as we never actually see the growth but just the result of it.
