12 Most Depressing BoJack Horseman Moments Ever

12. Half A Mind

While BoJack spent a year of his life at the Old Sugarman Place, the events of his family’s past were played out in a haunting parallel. This revolved around his mother, Beatrice, as a young girl spending her summers at the very same house.

At first, her older brother, Crackerjack, was still alive and was the apple of her mother’s eye. However, he was tragically killed when he went off to fight in the war. This sent Honey Sugarman into a spiral of depression that she never recovered from.

She had zero support from her husband, who was more concerned with his secretary’s self-esteem rather than his wife’s mental health, and without that, she was driven to depression, alcohol, and taking Beatrice in the car while she was in absolutely no condition to drive. Her pain was so much that she told her daughter never to love anyone like she loved Crackerjack, something that Beatrice never forgot while raising BoJack.

Joseph Sugarman, her horrendously unsupportive husband, instead of trying to help her, opted to send her for surgery. The heart couldn’t be repaired, but Honey’s mind could be fixed with a simple lobotomy. She was no longer the same person, and it was deeply upsetting to see.
