Bojack Horseman is a twisted, dark comedy about a washed up actor trying to cope with depression, anxiety, insecurities, and how to treat others. In this bizarre animated show where animals are personified and co-exist with humans, it follow Bojack and his friends as they sort of just float through life. Bojack’s constant selfish actions and rude remarks easily alienate him from those around him, and is the main crux of the show. Of course, there are over the top moments, like an insane space rock opera, a dog who tries to run for mayor, and other shenanigans to keep the show somewhat light-hearted.

This is a show for anyone who is a fan of humor that sometimes tows the line. Bojack Horseman returns for its fifth season on Sept. 14, so you have plenty of time to catch up on the previous four seasons, and we’re sure Bojack horseman will easily rise to the top of your list of favorite TV shows.
