Every Bojack Horseman Lead Ranked From Worst To Best

Bojack Horseman closing its doors in 2020 was a real shame, but it at least went out with some of the most profound and emotional TV ever seen on Netflix. The show was famous for its balanced depictions of comedy and tragedy, using the cute and anthropomorphic setting of Hollywoo to address fundamental truths, whilst still delivering on major laughs. For that, it will always be remembered as one of the best Netflix original shows to have ever been created.

A significant factor in the series' success came from the small, yet tight-knit leading cast, who had a strong connection to each other, and powerful individual stories to tell. They will smoothly go down in history as some of the best characters on TV, and it's an exceedingly difficult task to place them in a hierarchy.

However, to analyse and discuss the impact of this show and its success, it is essential to look through the primary figures and discuss which ones rank above the rest as the most well-written, designed, and important.

This list has been created through the general reception of these characters and the writer's personal views, and it will also contain some spoilers.

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.
