A show famous for sometimes cutting a little too deep, BoJack Horseman is a unique comedy that touches on accurate portrayals of mental health while also starring a literal horse-man as the lead. BoJack is a washed-up former sitcom star, so his hijinks are outrageous, his ego is massive, and he's always entertaining. (OK, sometimes he's depressing, so maybe this isn't the best watch for when you're already feeling down.)

Following an incompetent police force from a small town, this show is raunchy, violent, and a little bit chaotic.

With famous comedian voice actors like Saturday Night Live's Bobby Moynihan and stand-up comics Demetri Martin and Cameron Esposito, this show has plenty of excellently written humor.
