What ? After the darkness of the previous episode, it's like nothing happened ? Bojack is with Gina. He's been popping pills for months while still appearing functional enough ? That's... disappointing.
Diane saying that she doesn't know who Bojack is anymore... girl, you basically haven't spoken to him in 2 years and set up a pretty harsh trap for him.
Well, most of the episode is contained inside the argument between Bojack and Diane. It's been a long time coming, and it's nowhere as good as hoped. Bojack is being Bojack and Diane is being a bitch. She's probably right, on the moral side of things, but her attacks are totally out of context. It's not even clear what she wants out of this, what she would want Bojack to say or do. He did make some progress, and she wants to deny that. Bojack is right in that she's the one that made him feel better than the trash state he was in at the beginning. But she does not accept that and now act like forgiveness and progress do not exist and he should just stay in his misery because that's all he deserves. Even when Bojack makes some steps towards her, and tells the Penny story, she keeps pushing back. Strangely Bojack does nor appear as the more messed up in this conversation. But in the end, it's neither comically nor dramatically satisfying.
I never really understood why the Penny thing was so big anyway. It's probably far from the worse he's done. It was legal, she's the one who insisted heavily, he still refused many times, then she came back, her, again, at a moment he was vulnerable, and nothing happened anyway! Yes it's not pretty, and made worse by his relationship to Charlotte, but come on !
Rest is totally useless. Todd's sex robot is even worse than previous' season clowns. The joke bit with Princess Carolyn was entirely to throw away.
