Bubbleblabber’s Definitive Ten Best Adult Animated Series Of 2020
3) BoJack Horseman
The plot, dangerous. Exactly what animation is supposed to be. With all of the talk of who gets canceled because of silly social media comments or whatever, the producers of BoJack Horseman take this head-on by putting their star in the driver’s seat of being “Hollywoob” canceled, and the slow destruction and possible reconstruction for whatever that means. From going to prison to near-death experiences, BoJack feels the wraith of a Los Angeles press starved for clicks and willing to cut off the heads of whomever gets in their way to do just that. For Diane’s part, she’s far removed from show business and instead focuses on her writing and coming to grips with the pros and cons of medicated happiness that may potentially stunt creative freedom. We even get a bit more invested in her boyfriend “Guy” voiced by LaKeith Steinfeld, dealing with his own troubles of raising a teenage son in the midst of what looks to be a messy break up. And as a journalist, I couldn’t help but feel a bit inclined to mention Paget Brewster’s excellent take as “Paige” as she goes bananas in her investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of Sarah Lynn (voice star Kristen Schaal is on another level this go-round).
There's got to be some kind of twist that's going to happen with this. I don't know if they're setting up an April Fool's joke now or what's going on, but it seems too strange that they'd suddenly reverse on doing a fourth and fifth season after the show was already renewed and they were even just talking about working on those seasons like a couple months ago or something. Or maybe the two episodes yet to release will secretly somehow each be like a "season" in themselves?
