This is such a unique episode. After watching the whole series I had to go back to this episode, which still stands as my favorite (as much as I love Free Churro, Time's Arrow, The View From Halfway Down, Ruthie, etc). I've never seen such a real representation of how it feels to not be heard, to try your best to communicate, to scream for help and forgiveness without anyone noticing. It's the perfect representation of what Bojack Horseman is: a series that contains incredible humor (especially the ending of this episode) while also facing really deep and difficult matters. This series never fails to impress me with its realistic portrait of the human condition and the struggles that people have to face to be loved, heard and accepted. From a technical side this episode uses a very peculiar narrative style: episodes and films with few to none spoken words have to challenge the fact that they have to still communicate emotions and keep the public entertained. Well, this episode does this perfectly with its pace and subplot, with the colorful animation but especially with Jesse Novak's incredible score. Plus the note that Bojack unsuccessfully gives to Kelsey contains one of my favorite quotes from the whole series. Great shows always have to take risks and I think this episodes proves how amazing Bojack Horseman is.
