In the penultimate, and arguably best, episode of Bojack Horseman, the curmudgeonly and depressed Bojack, voiced by Will Arnett, sets out to write his memoirs…in five days. It can’t be too hard, right?
But pretty soon Bojack encounters the writer’s nemesis: chronic distraction.
The entire episode is a brilliant, hilarious, and sad romp through the writing process. But to fully appreciate it you should probably take a break from your own writing right now and start at the beginning. Bojack tackles the memoirist’s gaze and depression with a mix of pathos and humor unlike any other show.
