They did the same thing with East Bound and Out. Like what the hell man, where’s the redemption arc.

I haven’t watched Bojack in a few years and while it was a great show it was getting really unbearable to watch . No matter what bojack did, they needed him to stay miserable to continue the show. I was almost relieved when it ended because despite bojack best efforts it was a constant piling of ways to make his life as miserable as possible. Every glimmer of hope for a redemption arc was a mean to later beat down the character even further. In the end, what i took from the show was that no matter what you do you’ll fuck it so hard it’s gonna hunt you forever later so just end it already. Watching the show while depressed will surely push you further into depression.

I actually really liked the show, and it hit on really dark shit that I can absolutely relate to; and I’m disabled and have been fighting depression for a long time. The day I became disabled, my life ended, and I’m just waiting out the clock until by early demise; but I enjoyed bh.

I did enjoy it a lot too and I am pretty much like in your case. It’s well written, the characters are all great but the main character started as miserable and ended up as even more miserable despite his many attempts at trying to fix things. I didn’t expect happy story but every time bojack tries something to fix his life it ends up horribly horribly wrong. It was getting so bad that I jokingly thought that if they continued like this there will be a scene where bojack will be helping an old women cross the street, she randomly get hit by car and the writers will frame it as to blame bojack for the accident.
