Of the many shows that Netflix is debuting or bringing back for another season this year, the one show that everyone needs to watch is "BoJack Horseman." Disregard the fact that it's both a Netflix show and an animated show with humans and animals co-existing together. Few shows are as brilliant, resonant and rich as this one. The outstanding writing, combined with an amazing voice cast and a highly-distinctive look, make this show one of the best of the 2010s. Though the show is of one piece, here are some episodes that stand out:

"The Telescope"

There were several episodes in the first season that varied in terms of greatness, but this eighth episode is a good candidate for being the first undeniably great episode of the series. We learn that BoJack (voiced by Will Arnett) had teamed up with a comic he admired (voiced by Stanley Tucci) to create the hit show "Horsin' Around," but when the comic is caught up in a scandal and outed, BoJack ends up abandoning his friend and colleague after being persuaded by one of the studio's executives (Anjelica Huston in a stunning cameo). In the present, BoJack tries to make things better, but it leads to one of the show's signature devastating climaxes which provides a hard lesson about life. This climax helps establish one of the many strengths the show boasts.

"Downer Ending"

If it wasn't any previous episode, this one is truly the first unequivocally great episode of the series. Not satisfied with his tell-all memoir, written by his ghostwriter Diane (Alison Brie), BoJack tries to write his own version. After failing to produce anything substantial, he then becomes aided by his roommate Todd (the irreplaceable Aaron Paul) and former co-star/child actress/pop singer Sarah Lynn (Kristen Schaal). This leads to an epic drug binge, which produces some of the most hallucinatory imagery of the entire show. After BoJack comes back to reality, it leads to another devastating ending, proof that the show is able to find emotional resonance amidst the zany antics and weirdness.

"After Party"

This episode is divided into three parts, taking place after Diane gets treated with a surprise birthday party by her husband Mr. Peanutbutter (Paul F. Tompkins). Princess Caroline breaks up with her then-boyfriend Vincent after seeing a kid who looks like Vincent on the street (which it is; Vincent is actually three kids stacked together, hiding underneath a trench coat). Her breakup leaves her feeling depressed at the end. BoJack and his then-girlfriend Wanda (Lisa Kudrow) spend the rest of the night together, with Wanda telling two long-winded jokes to make a point about taking time with relationships.

Meanwhile, Diane is furious about the party, because it was way too over-the-top for her wishes, and through working out her anger, she and Mr. Peanutbutter have a refreshingly honest conversation about her desires (she wants to leave after being offered to work with humanitarian services, led by a self-centered millionaire voiced by Keegan Michael-Key), among other things. Each thread is done remarkably well, showcasing the amazing skills of the writers to create a well-developed episode.

"Hank After Dark"

While on a book tour to promote BoJack's memoir, Diane unexpectedly finds herself in the spotlight after making unscripted comments about an incredibly famous and influential celebrity (Philip Baker Hall) and accusing him of unsavory behavior towards women. This sets off a media firestorm that pits the feminist Diane against an angry public and ingrained establishment that's unwilling to topple this bigwig (the parallels to this and the Bill Cosby story are quite easy to connect).

Meanwhile, Todd gets caught in a "Prince and the Pauper" situation when he ends up switching places with a prince from a fictional Eastern European country. Jokes about the goldfish-level of attention the media has these days, the ending is anticlimactic, but still one of the better episodes in the series.

"Out to Sea"

By the time we reach this season finale, things have changed immensely. BoJack lived with the woman (or rather, doe) he still had feelings for for about six months, until his bad behavior and unfortunate timing got him kicked out and forced to move back to Hollywoo (it's a running joke). Meanwhile, Diane arrives back to the States, crushed by her time abroad and winds up depressed and an utter mess, unable to face Mr. Peanutbutter until an awkward phone call helps start the patching-up process.

Princess Carolyn finally leaves the agency she works at with the guy (rabbit) she's having an affair with, until he accidentally lets the truth slip out and causes the affair to split, with Princess Carolyn having the last laugh. The movie that BoJack was working on, "Secretariat" (about the legendary horse, whose story is much different than the real one), gets finished without him, and reality gets weird. Todd finds community with an improv group that turns out to be a cult.

It's a lot to take in, but the threads are woven expertly, and provides a great way to end the season. Also worth noting: we see Bojack grow as a person, and this provides some much-welcomed depth.

Honestly, the show requires viewing to get the full impression, and dedicated viewing at that. Still, BoJack is one of TV's most fleshed-out characters right now, and is surrounded by similarly captivating characters, provided by expert actors (Paul deserves some kind of award for portraying Todd). If you're forced to watch only one show by Netflix, make it this one. It rewards binge-watching.
