CMV: Bojack Horseman does a better job in portraying mental illness than 13 Reasons Why, and deserved more media attention.

Two popular shows on Netflix about mental illness is 13 Reasons Why and BoJack Horseman. I feel that 13 Reasons Why is more popular in the media and is more known overall. However, I really don't think that it does a great job portraying mental illness and teen issues and often puts a dramatic spin on things. It has a specific and narrow focus on the idea that bullying leads to suicide, when there are usually other factors involved. It also contributes to teen suicidal ideation instead of accurately portraying characters. It is also often considered traumatizing and triggering, especially to the majority of viewers who are teens. For example, there was a study that found a correlation between suicide rates and the premiere of 13 Reasons Why. I understand that 13 Reasons Why wants to explore serious concepts, but it does it in a provoking and clumsy way.

   I think Bojack Horseman does a better job of portraying  mental illness. The writing, specifically Bojack's dialogue and monologue expresses what people with mental illnesses sometimes want to say, but cannot.  Bojack’s childhood was immensely traumatic as both his parents were emotionally and physically abusive and neglectful.. While adult Bojack is somewhat rude, abrasive, harsh, and cynical; young Bojack was sweet and innocent who was subjected to the trauma from his parents. Bojack’s inability to sustain healthy and stable relationships and fear of abandonment can be traced back to his cold parents. Psychological studies have proven how a traumatic childhood can lead to PTSD, and could even manifest in different disorders such as Borderline Personality Disorder and Dissociative Identity Disorder.

The show does a good job in that it doesn’t characterize Bojack as kind and lovable. There are moments where the audience is disgusted and appalled at his actions. This makes things more realistic because those viewers  with depression know that they are not at their best most times and know they usually tend to do destructive things.  This argument could be made for 13 Reasons Why characters, but I argue that characters and relationships in Bojack Horseman are much more layered. In 13 Reasons Why, there are clear distinctions between the  victim of bullying, the bullies and the “good guy.”

 Overall, 13 Reasons Why should not get as much media attention as it does already. I could even go far as to say it should be cancelled, since its storyline and plot is becoming increasingly dull. Meanwhile, Bojack Horseman is getting increasingly better and I think it also deserves much more attention than it has already.

What kind of attention do you mean? Bojack Horseman is adored by critics and fans. It may not have the pulp appeal of schlock like 13 Reasons Why, but it's got respect and admiration. 

For all the adoration Bojack gets among critics and mental health experts, 13 Reasons Why gets consistently panned.
