> It hits hard, but it stays lighthearted enough to make you feel good about it.
That wasn't my experience of it. It's a brilliant show, to be sure, but at some point I felt the bleakness, particularly around Bojack's inability to help himself, became too much for me. Maybe different parts of the show resonate in different people.
I agree it wasn’t light at all in the later parts. Very bleak. If it was ever supposed to be a comedy it didn’t end as one but I can’t think of other animated series you could class as a drama.
I think it is one of only about three animated shows that are genuinely outstanding as TV and not just animation or comedy. The other two being Simpsons and Futurama.
