Overview

BoJack Horseman is an American adult animated tragicomedy television series created by Raphael Bob-Waksberg. The show stars the voices of Will Arnett, Amy Sedaris, Alison Brie, Paul F. Tompkins, and Aaron Paul. It follows the story of BoJack Horseman, a washed-up sitcom star from the '80s and '90s who once starred in the popular show "Horsin' Around." Now living in Hollywood, he struggles with his past fame, personal relationships, and self-destructive tendencies while wearing colorful sweaters. The series explores themes of depression, addiction, and the entertainment industry through its anthropomorphic characters and dark humor. Available for streaming on Netflix, the show ran from 2014 to 2020, featuring six seasons of complex storytelling that blends comedy with deep emotional moments as it examines the life of its curmudgeonly protagonist attempting to navigate what comes next after his initial rise to stardom decades earlier.
