11 times BoJack Horseman was unexpectedly the deepest show on TV

“You know, it’s funny; when you look at someone through rose-colored glasses, all the red flags just look like flags.”

BOJACK HORSEMAN RETURNS to Irish Netflix this day next week for its fourth season – and anyone that has watched it knows that it goes deeper than your average knockabout animated comedy.

1. Yes, yes, it’s about a talking horse who’s also a millionaire – but the character of Bojack is a brutally honest portrayal of depression and despair

2. It’s been called “the saddest comedy show ever” and goes deeper than you would ever expect

7. It’s one of those slow-burning shows that takes a while to get in to but is just so worth it when you invest the time

8. The relationship between BoJack and Princess Carolyn often sees both of them at their lowest points
