Also comparing it to Rick and Morty which suggests they haven't watched it

edit: If you don't like the show that's cool I just thought this was a weird pattern

I couldn't Stomach Bojack for more than the first season; To elaborate, for the few episodes i watched i think the episodic cartoon format of the show worked against it; Because it felt like the monster of the week exercise was more of a "Bojack's little atrocity of the week;" And it wore me down before i could watch more. Maybe the show got better afterwards, but for what i saw the format got very stale.

I'm not even that type of person who's expecting a moral or happy ending in a story, But for this particular character in a spiral of self destruction, i feel i've seen it portrayed better in other shows like say "fleabag" Where he overarching plot lets me see at least a semblance of progression and understand the quirks of the character. Maybe it's just that I find American television too slow. "last two seasons" Makes me thing there is more than three?

Also people who watched Bojak; How do you feel the show's Handling of mental illness holds up against critics of modern psychology like Ashley Frowley? A little example:

Ugh. Then I understand why you might feel that way, there is a lot of progress in the show. First of all, they more or less drop the episodic format, after the first season the next seasons have much more of a linear progression. And yes, there is 6 seasons. They realised after the first season that some people were taking it as an excuse for Bojack being a jerk, and they incorporated that as a rather central theme. Especially in the later seasons. At some point one of the seasons (I don't remember which one) is kind of like a deconstruction of previous seasons in a sense.

By the way, I didn't like the first half of the first season and I stopped watching it until someone convinced me to start watching it again, and it just gets so much better.

Ahhh thanks; that makes total sense! It's kind of a running thing lately in animated shows it seems. where the first season feels like a pilot season and it gets good after the first couple of years. I might try it again, hell, i might even pick it up after season two.
