I love this show as it has this slow pace building up to great punchlines. The humor is often suttle with a dark and sad undertone. The show also catches the craziness of modern urban life and dealing with the problems of parenthood. I specially love the hidden humor and also drama (!) whilst dealing with the complexity of real life and how this show avoids oversimplified stereotypes. The characters are mostly full of depths and sprinkled with comprehensible madness.
Please keep it coming! Louis C.K. just added a whole new Dimension to my perception of his public persona. I read about critics claiming that Louis C.K. wouldn’t keep up digging into his psyche to extrapolate more content … but I really hope he does! I’d love to see Louis C.K. become an artist releasing a movie every couple of years. Directing it and featuring himself much like Woody Allen did/does.
On a scale of 1 to 5 stars I give this show a 6 stars rating.
