BOJACK HORSEMAN Stream on Netflix. This talking horse has certainly had his ups and downs over the course of this series, often sabotaging his own success with drugs, alcohol and other destructive behaviors. But as the show enters its final season, BoJack (Will Arnett) seems to be on the path toward accepting responsibility by entering rehab. Elsewhere in Hollywoo, Diane (Alison Brie), Princess Carolyn (Amy Sedaris), Todd (Aaron Paul) and Mr. Peanutbutter (Paul F. Tompkins) grapple with their own definitions of happiness as their brightly colored animated world changes around them. The show, a sendup of Hollywood, will also tackle film franchises, mergers and unionization efforts. These eight episodes serve as Part 1 of the final sixth season, with Part 2 coming Jan. 31.

KILLING ZOE (1994) Stream on Amazon, Hulu, Vudu; Rent on iTunes, Google Play and YouTube. In her review for The New York Times, Janet Maslin summed up this film from the director Roger Avary as fiercely ambitious but way out of control. Avary, who has worked as a writer with Quentin Tarantino on Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, also penned the script for this film, which centers on a violent, bloody bank heist at the hands of a safecracker and his childhood friend. Ahead of the job, the two men have a night of debauchery in the Parisian underworld and then march into the bank the following day to collect their score. In nasty episodes meant to make A Clockwork Orange look like a day at nursery school, the robbers don party masks, revel in the terror theyve created and kill their hostages with hair-trigger petulance, Maslin writes.
