    You can’t fuckin fool me, Princess Carolyn, I know it’s you.

    Real talk tho I love how deep it gets. I’ve never had a show speak to me on such a profound level before. It’s almost too eerie how much I relate to Diane. I could gush about it for hours but I don’t know anyone irl who’s watched it yet despite my recommendations lol. Time’s Arrow came in my life when I was taking care of a dementia riddled great grandmother. Luckily I didn’t loathe her like Bojack did his mom tho lol

      Not loathing her might have made that harder for you, I imagine. My condolences, dementia is a terrible illness. My dad is exhibiting early signs and will likely end up like his mom at the rate he has been drinking for decades.

      Yes it is a wonderfully and terribly deep show. I love how they make him do terrible things and show his perspective because I am always a firm believer in anybody and everybody being redeemable and every terrible act often making perfect sense within the context of a person’s life and their traumas. It’s a very humanizing show. Plus where else can you get jokes like Mr. Peanutbutter as the Face of Depression, the Bridge to Hawaii, and Philip-Morris-Disney-Fox-AT&T-Time Warner-Pepsico-Viacom-Halliburton-Skynet-Toyota-Trader Joe’s (and other people like you!). The completely silent underwater episode, the funeral episode, the godawful existential nihlistic hell that is the drowning episode, the opioid trip episode, the death, the rant on the lady’s daytime show…what a cluster.
