Bojack Horseman had such a satisfying ending because he’s facing consequences, yes, but he also is assured that Todd, PC, Diane, Mr PB, Hollyhock, etc. won’t become the next Herb, Sarah Lynn, Beatrice, etc. And so the rest of his life is just…him trying to become a better person. And even if he fails or relapses, he will no longer drag his loved ones down with him. And that knowledge is a reward.
Bojack horseman made me realize one of my biggest fears. Knowing that relationships weren’t meant to always last. Even those we considered closest to us won’t be with us forever. One day we might have to say goodbye and be by ourselves. No longer able to rely on those once closest to us.
I don’t know what to do with that information. Knowing it was the last time I might be able to talk to someone I held dear…. It scares me.
