You can't go on forever. The core cast of characters have already started to drift apart (especially Todd), and you get to a point where you have to keep upping the stakes. It is better to go out leaving the audience wanting more.
on season three of my rewatch and even the first mention of spaghetti strainers has me laughing my ass off cuz I know what’s coming
agreed and it's somehow still not my favourite episode of the show (Old Sugarman Place takes that cake) Kate Purdy is the best writer in the business rn
I need to rewatch this soon. It’s depressing af, but for me, the comedy is so good that it doesn’t bum me out too much
Then you’d love After Life. It’s a show from Ricky Gervais about life after his wife dies of cancer. It’s fucking hilarious and absolutely gut-wrenching at times. Watched it with my dad and we didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Spoiler - did both. A lot.
As much as people talk about Rick and Morty being a show for smart people, this one feels like it is much more clever and with more going on beneath the surface.
Cannot gel with Rick and Morty at all. The one episode I watched was funny, but I just felt zero drive to watch any more of it. I don’t understand the almost cultish fanbase it has! Though a lot of people argue the same of Big Mouth, which I think is brilliant. And is now actually becoming quite depressing...
Yeah it’s good, but that whole “you must have a high IQ to enjoy it” thing was just a meme. I don’t think anybody’s actually arguing it’s a show for smart people.
People make that joke when they are referring to people who act like you need a PhD to understand it. It is still a clever show, though, but Bojack deserves a lot of credit in the same area.
people say the same shit about Bojack, or Community, or Arrested Development. These days "you have to have a high IQ" really just means "you should pay attention to the details of this show because there are quick lines and references"
A scene I always remember from Bojack is at the end of one episode, Bojack is stood with somebody else on a movie set and they say something like, ‘hey, can’t be that bad - look at that view!’ - an it pans to a mural of a sunset. I just remember being like oh damn.
It can have a character reference Sartre and make an entire bit about people falling in a hole in front of a Halloween store.
