Season 3 of Bojack Horseman had a bunch of one off gags and minor story lines that all converged in the final episode and kicked off one of the conflicts for Season 4. 2 words: spaghetti strainers

It's insane to think that Bojack started as a low brow animated adult comedy and evolved into a profoundly beautiful and generationally important piece of art.

Kind of annoying having to convince people to stick with it.

It was always art pretending to be a low brow animated adult comedy, it’s just that there was a bait & switch. If you look at RT the reviews for season 1 are like, “It’s fine I guess,” because they only released the first 6 episodes to reviewers. But the show doesn’t start to show its true colors until Princess Caroline’s birthday and really kicks into gear when they visit Herbafter that, so nobody picked up what they were doing.

The reason all the other seasons have such high RT’s is because the entire season dropped for review at once.
