Bojack went from irreverent funny to sappy melodrama in record time. They didn't even bother establishing their comic voice for a few seasons before veering into cringe inducing maudlin as is the standard.

Maria Bamford has a new show but they don't advertise it (at least I don't see it) and it isn't called "Maria Bamford's new thing" so you can't find it it's called "Lady Dynamite" and it's pretty good

Pubic Lair posted:I stumbled across F is for Family with absolutely no expectations and it was really good. It has a cold open and starts slow but after 5 minutes I was hooked. I'll give this a try because I turned it on for 2-3 minutes and went 'eh.' I did the same thing for Bojack Horseman though and I ended up loving that. I liked Marco Polo. Yeah it wasn't the best but I'm a sucker for kung fu stuff and that's a cool intro song. Narcos was good. I like OitnB. notZaar posted:Bojack went from irreverent funny to sappy melodrama in record time.

God forbid a show has any kind of emotional stuff or anything it must be COMIC VOICE for seasons unending. The very first season was 'dark' melodrama so I don't quite know at what point you were surprised that it isn't going to just be silly funsies with the horse man.

The netflix shows (like most shows) should have shorter seasons so they don't feel tempted to add a bunch of bizarre side-poo poo to the main story to fill time. Five minutes ago we were fighting the punisher, now we're fighting ninja undead? Get the gently caress out of here with that.

I like how the episode run times aren't stringent like they are for broadcast. I don't know what they are now, but in the 90's TV needed 18 minutes of commercials per hour, so an hour show was about 42 minutes long. Not needing to fit in a 42 minute runtime, if one episode tells all it needs to tell in 40 minutes, it's good, but if another episode needs 65 it can be 65 minutes without needing to be a two part episod (padded out to 84 minutes)

Well the problem isn't that it's emotional stuff, the problem is that the show is just trying so goddamn hard to be sad and melodramatic that it just comes off as ham-fisted. I'm sure if the only media you consume consists of anime cartoons and video games it seems well written but, you know.

I mean yeah alright it does get a bit ham-fisted by the end but you come off as so eye-rollingly 'internet person trying to be sophisticated' that it's painful. Believe it or not I enjoy literature, plays, operas, etc. but I also enjoy some cartoons as well. It doesn't have to be one or the other every time. Not every joke lands but many of them do. The Vincent Adultman thing is pretty funny even if it is stupid

Does that make it not worth watching though? I thought season 1 was good, drama and comedy both.

i thought the vincent adultman joke would have a much bigger payoff. i guess that's how i felt about bojack as a whole. it felt like a parody of generic "adult" cartoons that would eventually have a payoff but it never did. and I can't tell if the jokes and story are written to be disappointing or if they already told their punchline and it just wasn't funny.

Vicent Adultman was just funny there's no big payoff or punchline waiting like how Arrested Development tied everything back together at the end. There's set up for future jokes and stuff but it's not really all that complicated. Sounds like you just didn't dig it, which is fine. Personally I thought him taking those muffins and the veteran getting all huffy about it was hilarious.

My problem isn't with Bojack trying to be emotional to begin with, it's that it tries waaaaay too hard to be emotional. This'll probably make some dickhead post something like "OH THAT EXPLAINS A LOT" but I disliked the Vincent Adultman thing, mostly because the joke didn't land for me the first time and oh hey we'll just use this whacky & zany character for a whole season without any new jokes. DANGER ZONE hahahahaha notZaar posted:Yeah but in the case of Bojack it's just poorly written so the drama comes off as forced and artificial, whereas the comic bits were actually clever and funny. This is pretty much the sentiment I was going for, it's not bad BECAUSE it has emotional drama poo poo, it's bad because it just shoves in the emotional drama poo poo to seem edgy.

Ya that was a pretty good own I also liked it when Henry Winkler was like "you searched for meaning in death, but there is no meaning in death and that's okay " but having said that I disliked how Henry Winkler was all like, "I'm Henry Winkler! Playing myself on this show! haha" different strokes different folks. Can I talk about all the cartoons I have opinions on here I have a lot of opinions like how Bob Burgers is a bad show for unfunny people and the latest season of Venture Bros was really really really bad
