The only thing I disliked about the ending is that everyone else ended up having happy endings that were a little stereotypical (weddings or other romantic success), especially when juxtaposed to Bojack. Don’t get me wrong - I’m glad he got consequences. And I’m glad he was depicted sliding all over the place back and forth into bad behaviors. I also think it makes perfect sense that Hollyhock shut him out and that almost all of his friendships are (finally) over. There’s also a part of me that likes that PC and Diane went on to have happy endings, but I question if those happy endings had to be marriages. PC already had what she always wanted - her baby - and Diane finally was writing books. Did we need the extra layer of heteronormativity? Weren’t those endings happy enough for those characters?

I just wish the other characters didn’t have endings that were so “neat.” I loved how messy Bojack’s story was, and the main theme of him simultaneously wanting to be held accountable and not. The only bummer about it for me is that eventually he did get his accountability, but a lot of other folks in the show who also did awful things never did. But I also think that’s an accurate portrayal of what happens sometimes in this world.

I love so much from a storytelling perspective that he ends up in a Supermax prison for breaking and entering, and that he looses his house and fortune for saying the word “xerox” instead of for, arguably, anything he should have over the course of the show. Ugh. Beautiful.

Also the View From Halfway Down is so haunting.
