BoJack Horseman: Every Main Character Ranked Worst To Best

It couldn't be anyone else. BoJack Horseman was the most compelling, flawed and brilliantly-written character on the show, a protagonist who was as endearing as he was cruel, as easy to root for as he was unlikeable, as broken as he was a victim of his own upbringing.

It would have been easy for BoJack to be just another irreverent TV protagonist, modelled in the vain of Peter Griffin or Stan Smith, but with an added focus on his mental health, addiction battles and tragic background, he was elevated above other characters in the genre by being at once hilarious and relatable in his complexity.

BoJack was often a terrible person. He alienated his friends, he pushed his former on-screen daughter back into drug addiction, he slept around and offended everyone with his honest, usually unfair opinions. But within all these flaws, he was also someone the audience could root for, hope for and understand, even in his worst moments.

His arc from washed-up has-been to depressed drug addict to sober, reformed friend was not always easy to watch, but it was always beautifully executed and ended exactly as it should have. On a show of great characters, BoJack Horseman was the best of them all.
