Season 2 of Netflix's animated series BoJack Horseman continues the story of the title character (voiced Will Arnett), the has-been 90s TV star who by the end of last season found himself coming to terms with the fact that he might not be a good person.

Yeah, if you haven’t seen the show before now, turn on Netflix and watch Season 1 because nothing I say will make sense otherwise.
Before jumping into the actual plot and character arcs, let’s get it out now — Having completed binging the whole thing since it went live last week, Season 2 is just as sharp with the jokes as it was last season. Several running jokes came back: the banner background gag, the various animal pun names, the Vincent Adultman shtick, and Character Actress Margo Martindale’s panache for crime, etc. We also now get to see not-dead J.D. Salinger (voiced by Alan Arkin) produce a celebrity trivia show because of course that’s what J.D. Salinger would do, right? Speaking of voices, the huge list of guest stars sprinkled throughout the show includes Ron Funches, Tatiana Maslany, Keegan-Michael Key, Ilana Glazer, while Joel McHale. Henry Winkler, Paul McCartney, Sarah Koenig, and Daniel Radcliffe actually guest as themselves. Like in Season 1, part of the fun of rewatching is figuring out the guest voice you didn’t recognize the first time through.
