Such a good season! It picks up right where the first leaves off. BoJack is going into production for his dream project: Secretariat. With his (somewhat embarrassing) book out, gainfully employed in a starring movie role, and an awesome new girlfriend, things are looking up for the aging horse actor.

Of course, when things look up Bojack manages to self-destruct, continuing his cycle of being unhappy with his life. Season 2 sees a lot of transitions for many characters with BoJack taking off to get in touch with an old flame. Todd gets sucked into an improv comedy cult, Mr. Peanut Butter gets a game show hosting gig while his marriage to Diane is on the rocks (the one who probably matches up in terms of misery to BoJack the most) and Princess Carolyn has an affair with Rutabaga while they plan on making their own talent agency.

The cast on this show is ridiculous, it’s like Name the Cameo. Ignoring the main cast, you have JK Simmons, Olivia Wilde, Keith Olbermann, Alan Arkin, Margo Martindale, John Krasinski, Steven Colbert, Ricky Gervais, Stanley Tucci, John Cho, Ben Schwartz and Lisa Kudrow (as BoJack’s girlfriend Wanda). Half the fun of the show comes from fusing reality, Hollywood reality, and animals as people together. It just adds to the insanity and offers a lot of sight gags (reminds me a lot of the Muppet approach to world building). Have I mentioned how much I love the character names?

Really happy to see this show stay so strong (I didn’t like the Christmas special much), I burned through the 12 episodes in four days which I never do. Fun going back to Hollywoo again and with this season’s ending, I can’t wait to see where these cats (and dogs, horses, lizards, pigeons…) go next.
