Painting a portrait of a complex person with undeniably repulsive character traits while not being overly dismissive of them due to a narrative's need to idealise, at least to some extent, its protagonist is what Bojack Horseman does best. Occasionally the hybrid animal-human setting brews up some genuine humor but often the show is a bleak and unapologetic look at how bad systems amplify the unsavory traits of humans while simultaneously rewarding the individual with material benefits.
