The reason I've watched this show a truly degenerate amount of times is because I was a sick fuck. I was losing a battle with bipolar depression. I probably tried to kill myself (half assedly) three times in that time frame and was planning to go through with a more consistent method "in a week" but then my life changed and now I get to see what its like to be normal until it comes back. I had no job and didn't really do anything but play an addictive video game. When I didnt have the will to do that I'd just watch BoJack. Over, and over. I guess the consensus is BoJack has depression and not bipolar, I think the shows creators have even said this but dont quote me, but I could make a convincing argument for BoJack being Bipolar Type 2. That's for another day though. The reason I say that is because the people who make this show couldn't have portrayed the behaviors and mentalities I embodied any better. I LITERALLY showed this to my medical professional and plan to do so for all my future ones because it is basically just my internal monologue animated.
Its uncanny, I'd feel attacked if it wasn't so nice to know someone else understands. They hit the nail on the head and hammered in the point. Spoiler
I came out of the depression about a year and a half ago (which is why I havent seen the last two seasons as much) and have been thriving. The trick was getting a job where I can pursue my art and make a living wage.
Thanks for reading and I'm really glad to be a vocal member of the community!
