Louie is a stand-up comedian and divorced father of two girls. This series follows him through his everyday life, as he meets various characters, struggles with his love life and pursues humor.
I saw just Louis C.K's stand up and it was just amazing so I started watching Louie.I just like that kinda of humour. I didn't read about this show and have no idea what to expect.Louie is very funny show,and not usual humour you seen in thousand other humoristic TV shows.It's quite unique, quirky sometimes,weird,and even in moments surrealistic.In later season (4) is more realistic and more bitter sweet and full happy and sad moments,but those are in same ammont so it's cool.Even people complain about season 4,it's just what has to be,life is not only full of joy but sadness. There is swearing and adult themes and uncomfortable moments but If you bothered by that,you need to just grow effin up.I'm totally addicted and I would be very very sad,like my whole family died in horrible accident,If Louie was ever cancelled.It would break my heart. I hope for at least 10 more seasons?Just saying... :)

Dark, hilarious, and oddly heartwarming.
10/10
The subway rattles through its motions, and Louie sits aboard, watching along with several other disturbed passengers a strange brown fluid lapping a precarious tide against the sides of a depressed seat-cushion. No one in the car wants to guess what the fluid is, everyone is grossed out by it, no one acts. Cut to black and white, as an inspiring tune akin to a tender moment from A Beautiful Mind begins to play in the background, and Louie, giving his head a shake, presses up onto his feet. Wide-eyed his fellow occupants of the subway car watch as, in slow and deliberate selflessness, Louie strikes off his long-sleeved sweater, kneels down, and mops up the strange brown substance... soaking the offending fluid up and out of their hearts. As he rises, martyr and saint, the looks on the subway car turn to glowing smiles of adoration and firm, knowing nods.. old ladies rising to embrace him and young men giving him their applauds. He stirs awake. The fluid is still there. Everyone's still watching it. He gets up and leaves the car.

Comedic mastermind
10/10
In a nutshell....It can be as funny and uncomfortable as Curb Your Enthusiasm, and maybe even more so. The big difference is that the show is heartfelt. Louie has a soul but his life sucks! Louis C.K.'s stand-up comedy is also shown throughout each episode. The show is filmed in sepia/dark tone so it has a somewhat depressing feel, which fits in with Louie's life. If you're expecting a lighthearted, silly show, you may be disappointed. It delves into some uncomfortable topics at times, but, it's always a topic worth considering. It remains as comically fresh and no-holds-barred as prior seasons were. As far as I'm concerned, Louie C.K. is this generation's George Carlin. Whereas Jerry Seinfeld points out the comic infrastructure of every potential situation, Louie shows us parts of ourselves we'd rather not look at. (Consider Vanessa's speech on fat women.) George Carlin made us blush (and made history) with "the seven words" -- Louie's observations make that bit seem tame by comparison. But that's Louie. Louie is about life. And sometimes life is messy. He makes us laugh about it. He embodies the mans mans and the comics comic! I can relate to him on so many levels in this series and this series is without a doubt terrain of, rather than comedy or drama or simply dramedy, it's simply life! Don't underestimate this man because you see him on stage with a mic with such offensive vulgarity to some. This man is a genius and makes very heavy emotional episodes that have very deep meaning. he injects a soul into this series that has such a pulse and it beats with a rare brilliance! This series is the best dramedy I've ever seen!
