Just randomly decided to catch this on Netflix today, as I am a huge fan of his stand up.
Wow, the show is just awesome. It is pretty much perfect for Louis C.K. The show is awkward, scattershot and endearing. Basically Louis C.K. in a nutshell.
So this came back. And it was still pretty excellent. Tone and pacing haven't changed at all from the first season.
Yeah, First episode was good. Especially when he was trying to teach his daughter a life lesson that she had 0 interest in hearing.
I just caught up on the first season after watching the first episode of Season 2. I didn't originally like the first couple episodes of Season 1 and abandoned it early on, but it has grown on me a lot. It has to be one of the boldest shows I've ever seen, and though it isn't always laugh out loud funny, I appreciate that it is willing to go out on a limb.
This is exactly what I love about the show.Originally Posted by delirium
I suppose I don't really need to finish catching up on S1 before watching S2 episodes, is that right? I think I've watched the first 4 or 5 from S1 and they all seem standalone.
They're pretty much standalone. In the first season there's a loose through-line with the woman that isn't Garofalo being his parent buddy.
I like the show but it feels like something I would have seen in a film school 'best of' festival. I'm not saying it's amateurish, but it feels a little loose and off and maybe auteur*. I guess that is its charm for me.
But, boy, do I hate the terrible focusing in some of the shots.
*To clarify, it feels like one person is trying to do everything and holding all the weight.
If you read the article about the production of Louie, that's basically true. He "writes" (not really a lot of writing going on), acts, directs, casts, edits, scores every episode himself.
Louis CK's humor makes me cringe sometimes, but this interview was very funny. Starts slow.
That's not Jeneane Garofalo. That's Pamela Adlon.
Fairly sure he knew it wasn't Garofalo, since he called her "the woman who isn't Garofalo.". But yeah, Pam Adlon is great.
Oh, yes! I can read English now.
Wow, that last episode was fucked up in a serious fashion. Yet I was laughing all the way through it. I suppose that says something about me.
This show really doesn't have the weight to play around with the kind of earnestness it throws at you. But it's funny so what the fuck.
This show perfectly captures the feeling of loving your kids while at the same time wanting to send them to an orphanage.
You're....errr....in the minority on that one. The critical response is generally that the show earns the right to do a terribly uncomfortable episode like that one about Christ's Suffering and Catholic guilt by being funny most of the rest of the time.
For what it's worth, I think they're (well, he's - watch the credits and count the number of times his name shows up) firing on all cylinders so far. I'm sure that at least a couple of the episodes this season will make me want to crawl into my garage and turn the car on (on account of that's what some of the episodes in the first season did), but on the whole I deeply suspect that this is one of those comedies that's going to start showing up in academic studies on comedy in the future.
When the woman started sobbing I started laughing and could not stop. I felt like a terrible human being but oh god that was funny. Terrible, disastrous, disturbing, and hilarious.
Holy hell that was hilarious! I love Lous CK. I discovered him through this video:

Then had to get his standups Shameless, Chewed Up and Hilarious, then Lucky Louie, and finally Louie (which is the best yet). Funniest guy I know.
Don't get me wrong, I love the show and think it's very funny. I just think it slips occasionally when it seems to try to make a point or be more intimate. Like in the "Bully" episode, for instance.
I thought the bully episode was amazing.
Me, too.
Is there anywhere (legally) to watch this show if you miss an episode? I missed last nightsr, and when I last checked, Hulu and On Demand didn't have the new episodes.
The last time I saw it (a week ago, maybe?), it was from On Demand. But I don't know what the lag time is. And Comcast's On Demand menus are stupidly hard to navigate. We just stumbled across it.
May also be on one of those 5 week delays like a lot of FX programs before they hit Hulu.
They used to put them up on the FX website, but I guess they stopped that with Season 2.
I know it's not THAT long - the ep we saw last week was the one where his sister visited.
This has been pissing me off. The show comes on so late that I don't watch it when it airs, and yet it takes so long to become available On Demand. The 3rd episode aired last night, and the 2nd episode from last week is still not available.
