Every Bojack Horseman Lead Ranked From Worst To Best
5. Diane Nguyen
The fact that the lowest character is one of the most interesting and well-written presences in the show is an absolute testament to the quality of the series. Diane is a completely believable person, and although she is flawed, she is completely relatable thanks to her insecurities and hard work.
However, she divides the fanbase rather strongly thanks to her philosophies, which can either being interpreted as profound or annoying. Additionally, while other characters on the show balance delivering a message and being funny, Diane falls a little behind, as her dry, witty humour simply doesn't garner as many laughs as other roles.
The character also suffers from the unfortunate circumstances around her casting. While Alison Brie does a fantastic job of bringing the role to life, making her equal parts vulnerable and confident, she does feel like an inappropriate choice since Diane is Vietnamese and Brie causes the role to be whitewashed. Even the actor herself has pointed out that she regrets taking on the role in hindsight.
While Diane is great and is an excellent source for discussing prevalent feminist issues, it isn't too hard to place her at the lower end of the list.
