I consider myself a viewer who isn't always keen on so-called "artsy fartsy" TV shows and films, as they can sometimes feel pretentious. But in an episode creator Raphael Bob- Waksberg claimed Netflix were 'nervous' about, they needn't have worried.
Fish Out of Water is a masterpiece in TV animation; there is only brief dialogue in the beginning and the rest of it is silent but for the warbles of underwater speech and a distinctly different soundtrack than usual - ambient synths and smooth electronic timbres complement the beautiful, vibrant visuals of the underwater city.
The plot revolves around Bojack going to an underwater film festival in the Pacific Ocean representing Secretariat, but I won't say anymore- this episode needs to be watched and appreciated for its artistic value.
It may be the case that this episode, much like Breaking Bad's 'Fly', will divide fans of the show, but in my opinion at least, 'Fish out of Water' is a ingenious, unique amalgamation of Lost in Translation and the SpongeBob episode 'Rock Bottom' that coalesces to form an absolute masterpiece.
