As a longtime fan of pop culture, I can wholeheartedly relate to Billie Eilish’s adoration for BoJack Horseman. This animated series is not just a show; it’s a profound exploration of humanity, albeit with anthropomorphic animals.
Billie Eilish, who’s known for being one of the coolest pop singers out there, graces the cover of this month’s Complex Magazine. In a recent interview, the James Bond theme song artist underscores her relatability by sharing her current TV show addiction: the beloved yet often overlooked (yet critically acclaimed) animated Netflix series, BoJack Horseman.
During a conversation with Eric Skelton from the magazine, Eilish openly shared her affection for the show, mentioning that she has watched it multiple times and feels it’s the best television series ever made. And indeed, we’re about to elaborate on why we share this sentiment (just give us a moment).
The singer admitted that she’s been preoccupied with “BoJack Horseman” non-stop. It’s all she can seem to focus on. And we completely relate!
The interview, held in early November following Donald Trump’s re-election (a significant event with ominous undertones), caught Eilish in a deeply thoughtful mood – an ideal state for revisiting the clever dark comedy. “I’ve just finished watching it again, and I believe it’s the best series ever made. It is so brilliant.
Delving deeper into the subject, the singer couldn’t help but express her admiration. “The writing is so cleverly crafted and eerily profound, it leaves me feeling a mix of dread and anticipation. After viewing it a few times in total, I find myself counting down until I can revisit it again.
Why ‘BoJack Horseman’ is the Best Show and You’re Totally Wrong if You Disagree
Undeniably, “BoJack Horseman” is a series that grows more captivating each time you watch it. Conceived by Raphael Bob-Waksberg, this dark comedy debuted on Netflix on August 22, 2014, and spanned six seasons with a total of 77 episodes until its conclusion on January 31, 2020. In the lead role was Will Arnett, portraying the titular horse, BoJack. He played a struggling ’90s sitcom star, BoJack, who resided in Hollywood among a myriad of other anthropomorphic animals. His dream was a career resurgence or at least enough wealth and fame to fill the emptiness within him with whatever vices he desired.
The show featured a litany of fantastic voice performances from folks like Amy Sedaris (who played his put-upon and deeply self-involved agent, Princess Carolyn the cat), Paul F. Tompkins (who played former rival and golden retriever Mr. Peanutbutter), Aaron Paul (who played his human roommate Todd Chavez), and Allison Brie (who played his ghostwriter-slash-potential-love-interest Diane Nguyen, another human). The series was designed by cartoonist Lisa Hanawalt, a longtime friend of Bob-Waksberg’s, who also created the series’ spiritual successor, Tuca & Bertie.
The show boasts an impressive roster of big-name guest stars throughout its six-year tenure. (You should definitely check out the extensive cast list on IMDb; it’s quite astonishing.) However, trust us, we have impeccable taste in entertainment, but you don’t have to just take our word for it. Instead, examine its Rotten Tomatoes rating: an astounding 93% Fresh score!
Absolutely, if you fancy being as trendy as Billie (and myself), give the series a try. You might not be a fan of adult animated comedies – I wasn’t either! However, exceptions to rules do exist, and BoJack is definitely one such exception. Just remember not to tell him that, or he might become arrogant or sink into a self-pitying spiral.
