The fact that the new adult animated series comes from Bob-Waksberg means everything to fans of BoJack Horseman. The sitcom premiered in 2014 and lasted for 6 seasons. And it's safe to say that for many people, it became one of the most conflicted, complex, yet dramatic shows of all time.
The characters in this series are all multi-layered, and it's not easy to tell who you love and who you hate at first. BoJack himself is a rare case where the main character is not a hero, but an anti-hero that you do not want to root for at many points. You see his many laws and how he constantly betrays his close ones, and the fact that it is all wrapped up in a bright animation just adds another layer of complexity.

However, Bob-Waksberg also created a series called Undone, which is an even more complicated animated drama that also received universal critical acclaim. So now the fans of both shows are ready to swallow anything new the beloved creator offers them
“After Bojack and Undone, I'm all in for another show from the same creator. And the plot sounds very intriguing. Can't wait to see what he does with it,” Redditor Donuteater111 said.
