Plot

BoJack deals with depression after his mother and her nurse move into his house. His inner-monologue plays out, as he berates himself for his choices and actions. Meanwhile, Princess Carolyn continues to push for a sham marriage between Todd and Courtney Portnoy—a request that becomes more difficult for Todd as his comfort level with his asexuality increases.[2]

Reception

"Stupid Piece of Sh*t" received largely positive reviews from critics. Les Chappell of AV Club gave the episode an "A" grade, calling it "brutally honest" and "completely accurate in [its] portrayal" of depression.[3] Similarly, in Polygon, Julia Alexander called the episode "the most honest, brutal and necessary episode about depression" on TV, and hailed it as "one of television's most important to date".[4] On Vice's Tonic, Emma Sarappo praised the show for having "never shied away from the realities of BoJack's issues".[5]

gollark: There seem to be lots of "elites" who are basically *fine*, except you don't hear about them because people only go on about "SOME ELITES DID BAD THINGS".
gollark: > In capitalism, being selfish and ruthless tends to give you more profit and thus economical power. That's why most of the elite are bad, while so many of the poor have good hearts. Though the pressure to survive also ruins and corrupts the poor.Have you never heard of positive-sum stuff? Have you actually *checked* this in any way or are you just pulling in a bunch of stereotypes?
gollark: Newtonian ethics and all.
gollark: It would only practically work if people cared enough to expend significant resources locally to help people far away, and humans don't seem to like that.
gollark: This is a values problem, not an economic system one.
