Who's In It? Will Arnett, Aaron Paul, Alison Brie and Amy Sedaris What's It About? Formally the star of 90s hit TV show "Horsin' Around", today BoJack Horseman is washed up, living in Hollywood, complaining about everything, and wearing colourful sweaters. Why Should I Watch? Netflix's first foray into animated programming is a deliriously dark and devilishly funny beast. BoJack Horseman is the very rare entry into the genre which fully relies on progressive narrative strands as opposed to weekly topics or endless cut-scenes; it bears a filmic maturity so often void, and it's all the better for it. Providing a surprisingly deft look at the psychology of fame and the Hollywood machine, a number of moments here are both chokingly hilarious and surprisingly affecting. After two brilliant seasons, a spin-off and a Christmas special, the show returns for a third outing next year. Visually BoJack Horseman has that glorious throw-back stylistic, like an early Nickelodeon entry. Brightly coloured and palleted, yet often scribbled and cack-handed; lacking those irritating CG graphics which smother the majority of its competitors. The collective voice cast is sublime, with Arnett shining as the haggard has-been who with the aid of Brie's ghost writer, is attempting to write a memoir.
