The first 12 episodes of the new animated Netflix original series BoJack Horseman debuted to semi-good reviews on Friday and according to The Hollywood Reporter, the show has already been picked up for another season.
The show, created by comedian Raphael Bob-Waksberg of Olde English comedy troupe, features the voice of Arrested Development‘s Will Arnett as the titular horse-headed former sitcom star dealing with life in Hollywood 20 years after he was a household name. Breaking Bad‘s Aaron Paul (a producer of the show) voices BoJack’s “house guest” Todd, Amy Sedaris voices his feline agent Princess Carolyn (there are a lot of random talking animals in this show because why not?) and Community‘s Alison Brie voices the human Diane who is helping BoJack write his memoir.
In the three episodes I’ve watched, guest voices have included Kristen Schaal, Patton Oswalt, Wendie Malick, J.K. Simmons, Judy Greer and Keith Olbermann. The show itself hasn’t wowed me so far. It’s fine, but it’s not even close to Archer, current gold standard of animated TV comedy, or even half as good as Rick and Morty co-created by Community‘s Dan Harmon.
Anyway, BoJack Horseman gets another season to find its groove.
