Murphy's humanity showed through at all times, though thinly at first. It was they that tried to remove the humanity from the man. It was they that took the arm he had left, took his memories, took the things that we all take for granted. It was OCP's execs that finished the job in trying to remove his humanity from him. They were very cruel in 'dismantling' Murphy piece by piece, but at all times they were shooting at a PERSON. All that is taken away from him, but not so much by the criminals with the shotguns like most people think. Murphy is a man, a human being, with a life, a love, a family, etc. This story in primarily a drama, and a very human one at that. You won't want to miss this one.Ģ1 March 2001 - 1 out of 1 users found this review helpful.ĭon't let the comic book approach fool you. But if you DO like Angel and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I hope you have a VCR. You're likely to find it highly depressing and occasionally gross.
In a nutshell, if you don't like Angel (And Buffy the Vampire Slayer), then you're not likely to enjoy this series. Given the choice, even I would tune in Angel instead (Thank heaven for VCR's) and I really like the show. The WB's Angel is already pretty much dominating the market share, if not the ratings, and is well established with a loyal fan base. The only other detractor from this show is the network's idiotic idea of placing similar shows in the same time slot. Plotting and direction were riveting, my wife and I didn't want to miss a second. The cinematography is dark and brooding, leaving shadows to hide the things that don't want to be seen. Further episodes will hopefully expand their borders into new ground. The cast is superb, the only flaw with them and the characters being the unavoidable one being only a one hour pilot and not having room for the characters to grow (yet).

One can only hope that the rest of the series stands up as well. It takes something exceptional to keep a jaded old vet like me at the edge of my seat, and the pilot of this series certainly delivered. We're not always sure that we're seeing what's really there, and sometimes when we ARE sure, we wish we weren't.
This series is a well written mix of horror, drama, and fantasy. Something dark and malignant is pulling the strings here and from a bright and happy looking start we are suddenly pulled into a seamy world of ghosts, demons(?), sadistic experiments, immortal doctors, possessions, and more. The fact that they managed to wrap it into an obscene cartoon with talking animals only makes it better.Ģ3 April 2001 - 9 out of 9 users found this review helpful.Īll Soul's Hospital is a teaching Hospital in Boston with a reputation for being the one of the very best, but what most people don't know is that All Soul's has an underside. This is what we see in ourselves, the art that makes us look at ourselves in a new light. This is the struggle that makes this series literature. This is the struggle that transcends the sitcom trappings. This is the struggle that defines the series. He hurts the people that care about him, but he genuinely wants to do and be better. He constantly sabotages himself with poor decisions and gives in to temptation all too easily. Like so many of us, he has strengths, but his failings overpower those. Bojack Horseman The Character is a flawed protagonist. This happens several times in all three seasons. We start with silly jokes, characters snipping at one another, ridiculous sitcom situations, but the overall story wins out in the end as we are presented with 'moments' that make a paradigm shift in the lives of the characters. Don't let the talking animals and slapstick fool you, those are merely trappings. Bojack Horseman The Series is one of the great literary stories of our time. Bojack Horseman is a great show, but that doesn't do it any justice. These are an all too short list of some of the great characters in American Literature. 28 August 2016 - 3 out of 5 users found this review helpful.
