Amazing show. Had to give it a 10 because if all the initial bad ratings.

Let me first off say that if you love both Rick and Morty and Bojack Horseman, you'll love this.

This show is an art -- first of all, in it's art style -- and also it's colors. It's dark, drabby, bleak, and it fits perfectly with its perfectly cut Dark Humor. It's nihilistic optimistic; always showing and focusing on the good. Each episode displays some sort of concept, so intelligently and humorously - wether it be religion in education/government, an insecure professor's attempt at giving a perfect lecture, or about republicans vs democrats in their proud conflict that they forget to focus on helping what's best for the people. The characters are well written, and lovable even, too. It shows a group of friends amongst the school faculty and students, each who are special and commits flavor to the show. Two of them are the professors, brothers, Steve who's charismatic, wise, cool, a bit cocky, and has a great voice -- and Frank being an insecure dork with a whiney voice, always looking to exploit others for his low self-esteem. And another main character is a girl named Pony, who's a senior that hangs out with them, and is witty, smart, charismatic like Steve and gets along with him closely, but also shy and a but self-conscious. This show is addicting, and binge-watch worthy.
