Storyline
Did you know
- Quotes
BoJack Horseman: I don't understand why you're being so nice to me. After everything you know about me, and all the shit I've put you through.
Diane Nguyen: When I was in high school, I had this friend. Abby. She was my only friend and we did everything together. Until she got adopted by the cool kids, and then she turned on me, so fast. She used every secret she knew about me, every vulnerabilty. She made me miserable my entire sophomore year. But then that summer, when her mom got sick, like really sick, and all her cool friends were off vacationing in Martha's Vineyard, I was there for her.
BoJack Horseman: Why?
Diane Nguyen: Because I'm an idiot. And it was Abby. And I hated her, and I will never forgive her, but she needed me, and... she was my best friend, and I loved her. And now... you're here, and I hate you, but you're my best friend, and you need me.

The writing continues to be the biggest strength it has, and it is seen in not only what the narrative tackles here, but the way it does it while doing other things too. It deals seriously with the main character in a convincing downward spiral, and another character seeking a baby to fill a hole in her life, but at the same time having space for a crudely-constructed sex robot to become the CEO of a company which tells you the time now, and having Todd in a 'swapped identities' sexual farce with a family of axolotls. As before, the show does this with neither element detracting from the other. It also continues to push for new ideas and risk-taking; the episode-long monologue being the most famous example, but it is hard not to enjoy and admire the reality blurring penultimate episode for how well it relays BoJack's breakdown in a way that can be understood.
The animation and voice work continue to be top notch, but it is the dept and creativity of the writing that makes this show and this season so great - from the continued character depth, the background gags, the creativity of presentation, and the way it all comes together as a whole.
