Being a BoJack Horseman fan in the age of YouTube can prove fun. You get access to some of the best analyses, as well as in-depth hindsight from watching the whole. One fun thing to review is the relationship between writer Diane Nguyen and her agent, main character Princess Carolyn, who also serves as BoJack’s agent. The two women are protagonists starting in season two, and their dynamic is interesting. But what is that dynamic exactly?

While Diane and Princess Carolyn have some heartwarming and humanizing conversations throughout the show, they never really become friends. It’s nothing personal; both women remain cordial towards each other, and Princess Carolyn invites Diane to her business wedding. The reason is that the two have personalities that clash, and perspectives that are both legitimate, but ultimately not connecting. They cannot connect beyond their common backgrounds and intentions about how they want to impact the world.

We are going to talk about all six seasons, so SPOILERS!
