You ever see a video of a car crash or a train accident where you knew it was coming? Maybe the video was labelled accordingly or maybe you’ve seen the video before. Regardless of how you knew it was coming, the point is that you watch the video even though you know. You can tell it will end in disaster or tragedy, but you still don’t look away. You don’t close the video. You stay and watch till the end.
Whether it’s out of a morbid sense of curiosity or just out of some twisted satisfaction that comes out of watching a tragedy unfold. Watching and enjoying a tragedy has been part of civilization since at least the ancient Greeks.
The Greeks essentially created the genres of Tragedy and Comedy. It’s been many thousands of years since then, but humans still enjoy these genres. One perfect example of a show that embodies both Tragedy and Comedy is Bojack Horseman.
Bojack Horseman is essentially a Tragedy with a lot of laughs along the way. It’s something that draws you in with comedy, only for you to realize you’re watching the slow destruction of a man in what ultimately amounts to a Tragedy.
And embedded in the themes of this great show are stark reminders of the dangers of consumerism, extravagance, hedonism, self-destruction, and a high time preference. But I’m getting ahead of myself. Let’s backtrack and start from the basics.
What exactly is Bojack Horseman and what is it about?
