Life can be hectic for a newly single father and successful stand-up comedian -- just ask Louie, a fictionalized version of comic Louis C.K., who portrays the character. From his first meeting of the PTA to dating again and navigating the big city with two children, the comic shares pieces of his day with an appreciative audience during his stand-up gigs. The series features appearances by a number of stand-up comedians appearing in the show as fictionalized versions of themselves. In addition to starring in the show, Louis C.K. also created it.
Louie — Season 4

Melissa Maerz Entertainment Weekly It ends up challenging the idea that the ''naturalism'' we love from comedians is any less of a false construction than surrealism. Rated: A May 9, 2014 Full Review Hank Stuever Washington Post The scene [in an upcoming episode] is an example of Louie at its best, blundering honestly into a difficult subject and delivering a profound conversation May 7, 2014 Full Review Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times Everything here is made with an extra degree, or several extra degrees, of care and ambition. I can't think of another television comedy, ever, as visually acute or sensitive to mood or staging. May 6, 2014 Full Review Randy Dankievitch Processed Media As always, Louie is a contemplation on life, a wonderfully vulgar exploration of existentialism, told through surrealist portraits of every day stories, and accentuated by its wonderfully composed jazz soundtrack. Rated: A Feb 12, 2020 Full Review Jessica Johnson Time Out Chicago Well worth the wait, the new season of Louie finds the multi-talented performer returning to form with thoughtful and funny television that's ambition is unmatched by any other sitcom. Jul 2, 2018 Full Review Kevin Fitzpatrick ScreenCrush Both latter installments of the "Pamela" series are especially cathartic and sweet, as we see a series-long culmination of two characters...

Petros T (all seasons) A one-of-a-kind endeavour combining C.K.'s stand-up routines with a variety of inspired short incidents, characters and recurring threads that range from hilarious to awkward and from the very real to the deliberately surreal. C.K. can be enjoyably crass one moment and startlingly sensitive or even artsy the next and this unexpected symbiosis of extremes (and a lot in between) renders "Louie" a very poignant affair. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/24 Full Review Audience Member If I want a dark dramedy I watch other show... I loved season 1, 2 & 3. What the hell happened? Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review mohamed a This is the fourth season, so its 4 years since it all started, by now after all the missy stuff that happened this season, I had to search for the real family, I kindda accepted what was on, I didn't have to do so the past season but this time... :/ For me this was the worst so far, some plot got extended, far too long for its worth, an episode about a hurricane another about drugs and why!!! and The 6 part Hungarian elevator -_- It was O.K at the end of the season with Pamela :) for guest star we got Seinfeld again and Jeremy Renner and the beautiful <3 <3 Yvonne Strahovski <3 <3 and I flipped when he hit her :p this was early in the season, I hold it against him :p :p :p Anyways, this is my least favorite of the four, but still a great show :) I'll give it an 8/10... to Season 5 . Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A tremendous step away from what you'd expect in a season of Louie. The series' first real attempt at telling a story. Not an amazing one, but heartfelt and honest. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member There's less laugh out loud moments and more introspection this season, but The last two episodes may restore your faith in humanity Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Louie mixes the every day with the surreal, he asks us to look closer at society and people through the eyes of his experiences within the context of ny city, in doing so the surreal becomes normalised and reflect how society really is, his characters tend to be lonely looking for love,the show man who cracks jokes on stage is a mask CK wears and when of the stage he becomes an observer in the way, amazed at the situations he finds himself in Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
