Ep 11. That's Too Much, Man!

BoJack Horseman season 3 episode 11, titled "That's Too Much, Man!", is a heart-wrenching exploration of addiction and the lengths we will go to escape our pain. The episode begins with the eponymous protagonist, BoJack, attending a preview screening of his latest film, only to find that the positive reviews he had hoped for are nowhere to be found. To numb his disappointment, he turns to his old friend and former co-star, Sarah Lynn, for comfort.

But Sarah Lynn is no longer the innocent child star BoJack once knew. She too has spiraled into addiction, and together they embark on a wild night of drugs and reckless behavior that sees them make their way through casino floors, luxury hotel rooms, and even a rescue mission for an escaped celebrity seal.

As the night wears on, however, it becomes apparent that both BoJack and Sarah Lynn are running from something much deeper than the pain of a bad review. They are grappling with their own past traumas, their own feelings of worthlessness and despair, and the overwhelming sense that they are powerless in the face of their addiction.

Despite the explosive humor and absurdist antics that are hallmarks of the BoJack Horseman universe, "That's Too Much, Man!" is ultimately a tragedy. As the episode draws to a close, BoJack and Sarah Lynn face the devastating consequences of their actions, and are forced to confront the harsh reality of their addiction. It is a sobering reminder that no matter how deeply we bury our pain, it will always find a way to resurface.
