It got tore apart in reviews:

> The first season of the show received mostly mixed reviews from critics. This may have been due to most outlets only reviewing the first few episodes of the season, unaware that the show developed a darker and deeper tone about midway through the first season. The improvement was so significant that it forced Indiewire to change its grading policy to watch a show's entire season upon availability instead of just the first half dozen or so episodes, which would have boosted their original rating of BoJack's first season.
