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.

Hank Stuever Washington Post In far better news, Louis CK's deservedly praised Louie returns for a fifth season, although there are signs in the first four of these new episodes that Louie is beginning to meet himself coming around the corner. Oct 21, 2015 Full Review Mike Hale New York Times The new season is a more straightforward affair over all, reminiscent in tone and structure of the show's brilliantly mordant first three years. Oct 21, 2015 Full Review Danielle Henderson New York Magazine/Vulture Last season was a testament to Louie C.K.'s creative weirdness; the weirdness is back this season, but in its more sitcom-y form. I miss the way he stretched boundaries, but sort of love that he's back to his snippy, sad self. Rated: 4/5 Oct 21, 2015 Full Review Randy Dankievitch TV Over Mind And as long as Louie is continuing to express those thoughts in the wildly creative manners that he does... I'll continue to be fascinated by the subtle touches of C.K. Mar 12, 2020 Full Review Rivka Galchen Harper's Magazine In Season 5 of LOUIE, Louie is a new kind of superhero. Like Wonder Woman, the canonical superhero he most resembles, Louie's distinctive superpower is love. Apr 16, 2018 Full Review Melissa Leon The Daily Beast Louie is back at the top of its game.

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 dave d In the final season of Louie, for now, the show finally delves into the true life of an aging comedian. It's different from prior years, but fresh. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member No two episodes are the same. Louis is so funny and real - so good! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Methought the season was good. Like any of his seasons. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review mohamed a This is the shortest season so far, only 8 episodes, it is better than the previous one, more fun ... Jane is great! Now I'm up-to-date with it, so it's going to be a year till the next one :( great show...
