2. BoJack Horseman

Is any contemporary series as sure-footed as BoJack Horseman? It's a remarkable feat, made even more impressive by the show's treacherous narrative territory. BoJack is ostensibly a comedy about a washed-up sitcom actor (who, yes, is also a horse) struggling to find relevance in a late stage of his career, and it is frequently, deliciously silly. His surrounding cast of misfits and friends and agents, including his friend Todd, his feline agent Princess Carolyn, and a Labrador named Mr. Peanutbutter, are some of the most well-rounded, thoughtfully constructed characters around. Many of them are also cartoon animals. It's a deeply sad and utterly fearless show, unafraid of combining trenchant political and social observations with formal experimentation and visual gags.
