3x09 Best Thing That Ever Happened

8.3/10. I appreciate the show being so bold as to have an episode that's basically just one big conversation between BoJack and Princess Carolyn. Sure, technically, there's the B-plot of the head of the restaurant quitting and everyone having to scramble to please the food critic. But for the most part, this was a deep dive into the relationship between two of the show's main characters, and I liked the raw nerve style the episode went with. As Mrs. Bloom pointed out, one of the issues with the show in the beginning was that BoJack and PC didn't really make sense together, but this episode helps shine a light on what would bring them together, and what would drive them apart. Another example of the raw humanity that is BoJack Horseman's stock and trade.

Yet another great episode, probably one of my favourites this season so far.

I do love you, by the way. As much as I am capable of loving anyone, which is never enough, I guess. I'm sorry.

Man this show is depressing sometimes.

THAT'S A FAT F

This episode features BoJack and Princess Carolyn, reflecting upon their relationship through the years and its current state. It's interesting to understand why they stuck with each other for all these years, but it was much more compelling to see what happens when they get close to breaking apart.

Surprisingly, the episode is set only in one location, BoJack's restaurant, and features a B-plot related to the state of it, after BoJack fires the manager, which leads to all the kitchen staff following in suit. It's funny enough, but doesn't overstay its welcome to be annoying and is tied to BoJack and Princess Carolyn's story naturally.

I don't have much else to say besides it being another solid episode. I keep jumping on and off of this show, despite it being consistently remarkable. I don't know. Maybe I'll get into it again? Who knows?

TECHNICAL SCORE & ENJOYMENT SCORE: 8/10

"Please don't break my heart Bojack Horseman". That's so sad, they really had a real relationship, I had assumed it always was more or less what we've seen later on. And the final no is even worse. That was a very heavy episode. It's good that it was not cut by other storylines with the other characters.

Unrelated: "Let us bow our heads and bray" ! That's the stupid shit I'm here for !

«Yeah, but you’re honest, straightforward, not fake nice and don’t beat around the bush. Your heart is tender, so you protect it from people, but sometimes you open up a wall and it’s incredible. [...] You let me help you tonight because you knew I needed it. You did it for me, which was very sweet».

«Sì, ma sei sincero, diretto, non sei un finto cortese e non giri attorno alle cose. Il tuo cuore è tenero, perciò lo proteggi dalle persone, ma a volte abbassi le difese e sei incredibile. (...) Mi hai permesso di aiutarti stasera perché sapevi che ne avevo bisogno. Lo hai fatto per me, e questo è molto dolce».

This has been such an amazing season, and it keeps going strong.
