Is anyone else excited and energized by the comedy shows on TV right now? Jesus Christ. Everything else may be in a shambles but the USA(USA!USA!) is dominating in comedy. Even better, this stuff is accessible to anyone.
Louis CK is a dark sad funny man who is honest with himself and his audience in a way that Curb or Seinfeld (the two most obvious models for this show) can never be. Some of the content about relationships, death and aging is brutal but I am loling often.
I was sold at the opening credits. It’s him walking up out of a subway, eating a slice of greasy pizza in a doorway before going back underground to a comedy club. It’s nighttime and Louie is playing loud (Louie, Louie, Louie, Louieeeee, you’re gonna die”. This kind of opening sequence is my jock jamz. I am so pumped up I want to fight or lay on the couch laughing for 20 minutes.
Need more proof this is a labor of love? He’s written, directed and edited this show himself. Reggie Watts is on music. Watch this shit.
