Amongst many other things, BoJack Horseman tackled the idea of personal growth -- whether it's possible, what it takes -- better than most other shows of its era, following its troubled characters as they came face-to-face with their pasts, personal demons, addictions, romantic entanglements and identities.

Introduced as a moderately successful writer hired to ghost-write BoJack's memoirs, Diane Nguyen was always the show's secret weapon, first portrayed as an unwavering professional before quickly becoming the faded star's closest confidant and friend.

As the series progressed, Diane struggled with her career goals, her body image and her relationships, but through it all emerged a much happier, content person than she'd ever been. Hers is a rocky journey, but a stunning and powerful one that goes deep into the shadows of the human condition, and comes out happily ever after.
