When I first hit the play button and began my unexpected binge of Bojack Horseman, I almost stopped.

The humor was strange, and I found myself distracted by the important questions like, 'Why some of the characters animals?' and 'How exactly can a horse and a cat kiss?'

But around episode four, these questions stopped and became replaced with a love for one of the best shows of 2016.

Bojack Horseman is a show that deals with existential nihilism and depression through sharp humor and commentary on modern society.

And surprisingly, Bojack Horseman very much is a feminist show.

Bojack Horseman Crushes the Bechdel Test

Sadly, there is something that has to exist called the Bechdel Test which simply means two female characters talk about something other than a man.

Seems simple, right?

Actually, 45% of 2015 top films failed.

But on a positive note, Bojack Horseman is filled with interesting female characters who have, brace yourself here, thoughts about things other than their male counterparts.

Captivating Careers

The main female characters in the show are extremely passionate about their jobs, which range from a top TV producer, ghost writer, agent and more.

Bojack's ex-girlfriend and frequent agent Princess Carolyn's own storyline shows her overcoming sexism in the workplace and working against the glass ceiling.

Not All Characters Want a Family

Any woman who has stated she doesn't want a family will most likely find her choices questions or brushed off through comments like, "You'll change your mind."

However, one of the main leading ladies is in her thirties and is still childless by choice. Another female character longs for a family of her own.

And guess what?

Both of their choices are respected and with the exception of character develop through a remarkably written conversation, are not questioned.

There's A Plotline on Abortion

With Ohio's recent choices on abortion, this episode is incredibly relevant.

One of the characters becomes pregnant and decides to get an abortion. At the same time, another decides to keep her baby after getting the unexpected news.

This episode has terrific dialogue and handles what is always a controversial topic in a very unexpected but ultimately thoughtful manner.

Acknowledgment that Rape Accusations Do Not Hurt a Man's Representation

Yeah, they go here.

This episode is a critique on the reluctance of society to believe or put blame on any successful man who is accused of rape or sexual assault, even if there are multiple women who come forward.

These men often go on with their reputations unscathed, win Oscars, or become President!

One of the Main Characters is Asexual

There is still not too many asexual characters on TV or in movies.

Bojack Horseman features one of the main characters who discovers they just may be asexual and who is met with acceptance.

Go Watch Bojack Horseman if You Have Time for a Binge

Bojack is not for everyone.

It's strange. It's thought-provoking. It's sexual.

The star is a depressed, drug dependent, alcoholic horse.

But if you can make it past the first few episodes where the show is finding its footing, you'll find yourself watching something special.
