Best TV of 2017
'Bojack Horseman' (season 4) Who would have thought this concept wouldn’t get stale? That we couldn’t possibly delve deeper into the fuckupedness that is our titular anti-protaganist’s psyche? Well, it turns out that mental illness and narcissistic neurosis is complex, multi-faceted, rooted in broken familial and social histories, and watchable. It also happens to be fertile ground for absurdist comedy. Now in it’s fourth season, we’ve come to expect Bojack’s new lows (this time helping find out who his daughter's mother is, while battling demons with his own), Todd’s zany antics, Mr. Peanutbutter’s zanier antics (and Diane’s willingness to indulge them) and Princess Caroline’s latest career turn, dating nightmare, and life crisis. We’ve also come to expect -usually mid-season - there will be a 30 minute episode that will somehow manage to be epic in scope, saturated with social commentary, and rife with so many references and throw away one liners that it will demand immediate re-watch. This season’s version of that comes in the form of a sunken home during a celebrity-filled political fundraiser, where the candidate’s support for fracking comes back to deliver on full irony. Satire is not on short supply in these politically troubled times, but Bojack rips into issues like gun control, feminism, media, and political fickle-ism like a surgeon who might actually be a sturgeon. This season even manages to get darker, with flashbacks into Bojack’s family history that that may or may not destroy you as it has you in the good kind of tears as well. Best.
