When the final episode of BoJack Horseman aired on Netflix in 2020,
it was to massive critical and popular acclaim. Across six seasons,
viewers followed the exploits of a washed-up sitcom actor and his
wacky collection of friends, set against the fading glitz of
Hollywood and played out through a distinct cast of both human and
anthropomorphic characters.Before the series even concluded, it was
clear that it would be the topic of research and discussion long
beyond its relatively short run. This collection brings together
essays about the ways this series handles complex and highly
nuanced topics within three main themes: mental health,
masculinity, and the perils of celebrity. With contributions from
researchers across a broad range of fields, these essays offer a
variety of perspectives on these themes, how they are represented
within the show, and the ways that both characters and viewers
engage with them.
