Bojack Horseman meets Californication
15 March 2016
First of all, if you're fans of Bojack Horseman you'll find the lead character, Chip, very much channels the down and out lower depths of Bojack's character. In fact, at first I would have described this as the real life lows of Bojack without the highs (because Chip is essentially broke).

Where it collides with Californication is the scenery and buddy comedy with the loser friend aspect, ala Hank Moody and his agent sidekick, here we have Chip and his sidekick... plumbing the depths of morality and women as a trophy, not actual living, breathing human beings.

The writing is OK. The story is OK. But if you're up to speed with Bojack and Californication then you'll probably feel like you've seen it all before.
