Then, after being swept onto a bus by a pack of sardines, he finds himself alone with a baby seahorse and spends much of the episode trying to return it to its father (who works in a saltwater taffy factory far outside the city).Īnd beyond the dialogue-free conceit, 'Fish Out of Water' opens up the underwater part of BoJack's world. First, he sees director Kelsey Jannings (usually voiced by Maria Bamford), who he abandoned when she was fired from Secretariat, and tries to find the right words to apologize to her.
In the underwater city where the festival takes place, BoJack has two primary encounters. 'Fish Out of Water' finds BoJack being sent to the Pacific Ocean Film Fest to promote Secretariat, the biopic he filmed over the course of the second season (and his longtime dream project). But 'Fish Out of Water,' the fourth episode of the show's third season, which landed on Netflix last Friday, is perhaps its oddest yet: It's mostly silent. BoJack has done several off-format episodes in its first two seasons, including an extended drug trip, a disastrous walkabout trip to New Mexico, and a time-bending look at three different groups leaving a party.
B oJack Horseman is no stranger to strangeness-that's practically the entire point of the bleak Netflix comedy, which focuses on an anthropomorphic celebrity horse voiced by Will Arnett dealing with depression and life in Los Angeles.
