Can't sleep and ended up watching some BoJack Horseman clips, what an amazing show. One of the better shows for talking about mental health and life in general. Any fans on here?

Yes, I'm a big fan. I don't usually watch Western animation these days, but BoJack is an exception. It's one of my favorite TV shows ever and I could relate to it so much, it actually made me cry at some points.

The ending kinda sucked but that's Netflix's fault for canceling it I suppose. The second last episode "View From Halfway Down" is actually the way I found this site in the first place so I have this show to thank for that.
The poem in that episode is really powerful and Will Arnett knocks it out of the park with his reading of it, has been enough to pause my suicidality for short periods which is saying a lot. Hell watching BoJack is better than most therapy I've had.

Yes, can't even count how many times I've rewatched it (though I always have to skip some episodes that are too heavy, like the Sarah Lynn one). Diane is probably the character I relate to most in all fiction.

I like the show and it's great and all but it tends to do the opposite for me. Watching it usually makes me feel worse about myself if that's even possible.
Past fan, now only secret admirer. I went to a fan meet-up 3-4 years ago in the in-between phase after the first part and before the second part of the last season, and it was kind of disappointingly dull (it was a presentation showing wordplay from the background of the show and then a Kahoot trivia in the end). It stung because I dragged people to come with me to the event, and I was the only person in the group who watched the show, lol (I still adore and love the show, but how awkward I felt that night is engraved in my head, so I can't rewatch it anymore)
I feel the same way about the English version of the office... See far to much of myself in David Brent! Similar with aspects of BoJack and Mr Peanutbutter but at least they are sort of redeemed in the show, Brent never really is.I like the show and it's great and all but it tends to do the opposite for me. Watching it usually makes me feel worse about myself if that's even possible.
Rewatched it recently with some friends through Discord. Ironically enough one of those said friends is a very, very small part of the reason why I currently want to ctb. She ended up ending our friendship not long after finishing it. I had previously asked her (spoilers for final episode) if BJ and Diane ever talked again after the final episode and she said no. then about a week later she posts through a shared server's anonymous confessions channel "Remember what I said about Bojack and Diane after that ending? That they never talk again. I meant that and I mean it when I say it now." and it hit me so hard because this is someone who while I didn't know for very long or all that well, I romantically liked her. We had previously talked about it and I always knew she wouldn't/couldn't return them and I was ok with that. We decided to remain friends and I actually got to know her even more and become better friends after my confession to her. To make a long story short our friendship ended because of my own self sabotage. My desire and need to constantly be validated. She isn't the first friend I've lost either due to my own failings, but she will be the last.
To quote BoJack:
To quote BoJack:
They sound like an asshole, who the hell talks in riddles like that over something so important. I have more respect for someone who ghosts, at least there is some cowardly honesty in that rather than some bizarre theatrical "riddle me this" half way house. If they're prepared to half talk about it then they can just as easily be honest and straight forward about wanting to end the friendship.
I think you're much better off not having someone like that in your life, they sound like an insufferably self-centered egotist.

Yes. A very good series. When I started watching, I didn't know what to expect. I thought it would be similar to "family guy" (which I also really like).
However, it turned out to be different. In a positive sense.
If anyone hasn't seen it, I highly recommend it.
