I’ve binged “Fleabag” and am all caught up with “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” so the real problem in our household hit recently when the reality of a Sunday minus “Succession” was upon us! What to do? — Paula

To everyone who misses “Succession”: Watch “BoJack Horseman.” Really!

“BoJack” is a cartoon on Netflix, and it’s about depression, addiction, show business and disappointment. BoJack is haunted by the hole in his life where his parents’ love was supposed to be, and he deflects this pain with glibness. You want stories of mergers? There are stories of mergers! You want rich people being petulant but also underneath it all to be truly suffering? And how. You want season-long B-stories that add up to shocking results? Unusual sexual mores? Silly names? Criticism of the media? Skepticism toward anyone who seems happy or fulfilled? Slick, quick dialogue from characters who are being funny on purpose? I swear that even the opening title music sounds similar.

I get that “BoJack” might be a tough sell for people who typically avoid animation, and I’ll also tell you that the first several episodes might seem like just a smart, punny spin on an antihero comedy. But the show is laying groundwork, and the seeming superficiality is part of a bigger plan.
