These are almost closer to short stories than sitcom episodes--and yes, they're fantastic. [23 Jul 2012, p.38]
-
Louie viewers don't know exactly what they're getting in any given week, but the show is so elastic that nothing it tries feels like something it shouldn't.
-
Louie is the anti–Anger Management: bizarre, inventive, and bold.
-
Louie isn't exactly what you'd call a joy ride, but there's joy to be had in its pungent authenticity, the element so sorely lacking in Anger Management.
-
FX sent the first five half-hours for review, and they're all gems.
-
One of TV's best shows, comedy or drama, because this series often succeeds as both.
-
Louie is the gold standard of contemporary TV comedy.
-
When it comes to expectations, Louie does a pretty consistent job of exceeding them.
-
C.K. is writing, directing, and starring up a storm here, and his usual opening-segment stand-up routine, involving nearsightedness, is funnier than most sitcoms are in an entire season.
-
The new episodes start well, then keep improving, with narrative clarity and a fresh visual beauty.
-
At the outset, this show aimed for hilarity and hit the mark, consistently and cathartically, while also trafficking in provocative sidewalk philosophy, achieving moral seriousness amid masturbation jokes.
-
It seems to be shifting into a higher gear, when no one thought that option was even available.
-
There's quite a bit going on underneath the show's deceptively raw, on-the-fly simplicity. It's also often a hilarious, exhilaratingly dangerous mixture of the broad, macabre, and political.
-
It's a show about someone trying to figure out life, one little thing at a time, and realizing that sometimes, hey, you can't.
-
Louie is back, as raunchy, candid, and hilarious as ever.
-
The series remains smart and thought-provoking but it's also quite funny.
