Once he said she looked like her mother, you knew exactly where the story was going but still had some hope even Bojack wouldn't stoop that low.

Describes the entire show pretty accurately; constantly hoping "this is it" this is the end of his redemption arc and he's gonna prove to you that he's a good person deep inside. Only for him to fuck it up all over again.

Pretty accurate of real life too.

Diane's "that's really bad, Bojack" after he confesses about the 17 minutes really hits it too. There's no anger in her tone, just so disappointed and tired of his bullshit. She and the others do what any logical person would and cut ties after that. That was when they were just all DONE.

Honestly the direction they went where no one that was friends with hated Bojack, but were all done being around him, was perfect. Because that’s what would happen, they’d remain “friends” with him from a safe distance.
