Bojack Horseman and The Myth of Sisyphus
Bojack Horseman is an animated show for adults, created by Bob Waksberg and Lisa Hanawalt,
Whose underlying message is the search of happiness and identity,
Through different characters from TV and Film in Hollywood. 
The show constantly asks, is it possible to find a meaning in the course of our lives?
At its core, this is the same query raised by Albert Camus at the beginning of his essay "The Myth of Sisyphus"
On this video, we're going to go through other similarities between the show and Camus' essay.
“O my soul, do not aspire to immortal life, but exhaust the limits of the possible.” 
-Pindar.
For the philosopher Albert Camus, the universe is irrational and meaningless.
Even so, humans are desperate to find a reason or a meaning in it.
He named this conflict "the Absurd",
And according to him, when someone is aware of the Absurd, they have three options:
One, finding a diversion.
Two, committing suicide.
And three, accepting the Absurd.
Camus illustrates this idea through The Myth of Sisyphus:
A man doomed by the gods to push a rock to the top of a hill everyday,
Only to watch it roll all the way down over and over.
In the show, the characters have a pluridimensional psychological complexity,
And there are a lot of references to existentialist thinking,
But perhaps the most obvious one is the baboon that runs uphill everyday, passing by Bojack's house.
This scene is usually shown during moments in which the characters are raising existential dilemmas,
Including a scene where the baboon actually talks to Bojack about his experience going uphill.
In the myth, Sisyphus becomes the hero of the Absurd for Camus
When he recognizes the Absurd in his task, but he decides to be happy regardless.
In the show, we see Bojack find an alternative to suicide when he sees a herd of horses running through the desert,
Without a destination and no purpose other than running, carrying out a meaningless task, and being happy besides it. 
This represents the Absurd.

Existentialists are the children of the bourgeoisie. 
-Roger Vailland
The problem in this approach from a realistic point of view, in the show and in life, 
Is that existentialism can evolve into a liberal individualism,
That in some cases, can be considered sheer selfishness. 
But even so, while we feel discontentment, we tend to identify with Bojack, 
Bojack is a bad icon, but a good representation, an antihero, but at the same time, a TV character that makes us feel understood in a way.
Bojack represents human problems.
Diane's character, which reflects a more mature and well structure moral, besides her own human problems, is something many of us, that one day were Bojack, aspire to.
We feel a connection with a character that keeps making bad decisions.
We all have felt overwhelmed and how each of us copes with it is something that isn't for us to judge.
