For me it’s BBC’s 1995 Pride and Prejudice. Absolute perfection, I wouldn’t change a thing!

Bojack Horseman

This is comfortably my favorite show but I don’t think it’s perfect, largely due to season 1 (particularly the first half).

Metacritic scores per season:

S1 - 59%
S2 - 90%
S3 - 89%
S4 - 87%
S5 - 93%
S6 - 92%

Its hard enough to sell people on an animated show centred around a washed-up former sitcom star who is an anthropomorphic horse, in the first place, and then you have to tell them they need to push through a mediocre half season of it before it picks up and reveals itself. 😆
