In the View from Halfway Down, Sebastian and Alexandra analyze the Netflix-produced, animated dark comedy, Bojack Horseman, episode by episode.
In this episode we focus especially on Princess Carolyn and the ways that Bojack Horseman just keeps fucking her over.
This week’s discussion question – In order to keep her job, Princess Carolyn shuts down her emotions and tells herself to be “a robot” so that she can do her job well. Sometimes it is necessary to put our emotions aside in order to get essential things done. However, taking care of our mental health, whether it’s finding time for joy or letting ourselves feel sadness, is also important. Are there times where this shutting down of emotions is healthy? How do we balance those two needs? How do you think Princess Carolyn is doing?
