BoJack Horseman 2014

A show that it so good you have to see it to believe it. Ostensibly a comedy, this show deals with some of the heaviest aspects of our society and how people adapt to it. A show has never been so honest without being sappy, so true without being facetious. Watching "BoJack" is a therapeutic experience with enough quotes to last you a lifetime: "When you look at someone with rose-coloured glasses, all the red flags just look like flags"; "Every day it gets a little easier, but you have to do it every day. That's the hard part"; "I thought for sure I was going to drown, but then I noticed my air bubbles floated up and I knew which way to swim. When you find yourself lost and you don't know which way is up, it's important to breathe".

But let's not forget the comedic aspect because "BoJack" is also one of the funniest shows ever made. This show embodies the idiom that comedy and tragedy are two sides of the same coin - the highs are so high because the lows are so low, and vice versa. There are funny show, and then there are funny shows. Shows where you don't just laugh because something funny happened, but because someone just pulled off the perfect joke. And then they do it again. And again. The passion behind every aspect of this show oozes off the screen. "BoJack" was a cultural milestone that will be looked back upon as one of the greatest comedies of all time.
