15 Greatest BoJack Horseman Episodes Of All Time

5. A Quick One, While He's Away (Season 6, Episode 8)

BoJack Horseman The Showstopper
Netflix

A Quick One, While He's Away is a rare outing for BoJack Horseman, removing the titular character from proceedings and focusing on the people he has hurt over the course of the show.

The episode comes at a pivotal moment in the final season, with BoJack finally getting his life on track and falling into sobriety. A Quick One serves as a reminder that no matter how much better he feels in his personal life, the damage he has inflicted on the world cannot be undone.

In the episode, former co-star Gina is shown suffering from PTSD, seen as difficult to work with because of her hopes for a safe work environment. Director and old friend Kelsey Jennings tries, with little success, to find her footing in Hollywoo. If that wasn't enough, Sarah Lynn's mother begins digging into the circumstances surrounding her daughter's tragic death.

It's a vital episode for the show, reminding audiences of BoJack's most destructive moments and making his return to normalcy all the more complex. From here, it becomes clear that BoJack is never going to fully atone for his sins, and the whole thing is very hard to see.
