25. BoJack Horseman
Who knew that a show about anthropomorphic animals could unflinchingly examine such existential human problems? BoJack Horseman explores the life of a 50-something alcoholic horse and his Hollywood friends. The story is equal parts industry satire and pitch-black character study. The eponymous lead is never given the easy way out even as he makes increasingly worse life choices. We and BoJack must deal with the consequences of his actions — and there are episodes that are genuinely difficult to watch. Few shows go to darker places.
Thankfully, it’s also quite funny — particularly for fans of word play and sign gags.
