Product Description
From the uproariously unrestrained mind of comedian Louis C.K. comes the year's most outrageously original comedy! As a newly-divorced, well-meaning father raising two young daughters, Louie struggles to cope with his strenuous mid-life shake-up, and his stand-up comedy provides a gleefully warped reflection of his hectic, everyday reality. There are disastrous first dates, indecent proposals, high school bullies, booze-addled play dates--and more. Featuring stellar guest stars such as Matthew Broderick and Ricky Gervais, Louie is unfiltered, off-kilter, and hilarious!

There is no continuity from one episode to the next, or even from one vignette to the next. Each episode is comprised of usually two scenarios book-ended by stand-up sets by Louie, which may or may not turn out to be part of one of the scenes. It's the direct inversion by an observant everyman's misanthrope of the TV sitcom. Whereas every sitcom we've ever seen has one essential soundstage, an ongoing play-like farce that runs before two cameras, all the same characters show up and everything not only works out but is just the same as before by the end, each week Louie will give a stream of consciousness an unsystematic narrative silhouette almost invariably a sequence of encounters with characters who enter and exit, yet very few ever return. Some actors and actresses return in different roles. Louie's mother is at one point played by an old woman as an appalling malignant narcissist and in another episode a humble, warm-hearted young working-class woman.
The show is written, directed and edited by its star, and he creates a visually realistic look and atmosphere for his small stories, captured quite cinematically. In the God episode, arguably the boldest, most powerful episode, he injects solemn amber tones, almost I dare say comparable to Gordon Willis' work on the Godfather films. There is a considerable proliferation of long takes in which two characters will share dialogue that sounds and feels no less real than that which we'll share with someone tomorrow. Sometimes, he's bold enough to prolong a single, stationary take in which nothing is being said on-camera, but all the action that affects the character in the shot is occurring off-camera, and in that very single take, we're carried seamlessly and steadily from deadpan absurdity to genuine terror. Then comes the cut: Life goes on; nothing's really that big of a deal. Simply put, each week, C.K. delivers one or two of the most powerful and memorable short films you may ever see.
It has to be said though that the discs are truly awful. Blu-Ray on one side and DVD on the other is a guarantee that whatever format you prefer, you've just paid more for the side you're not going to use. Not only that, but people have reported they don't play properly in Blu-Ray players. In my experience, both discs skipped a lot (one episode wouldn't play at all) in two separate DVD players of mine. And I'm pretty sure this is not all in my head: I think the discs are a tiny bit thicker than a regular DVD, because both discs got stuck in one of my DVD trays. I'm sending my copy back for an exchange, hopefully they'll change it to separate formats.
Update: Amazon replaced my copy and the discs play perfectly. I was scared all the discs would be like that since they're flippers. I haven't checked to see if they get stuck in the DVD tray, but honestly, Louie is worth unscrewing the top of my DVD player every single time I want to watch it. Upgrading this to five stars since the episode that skipped originally ended up being really, really good.
I was wrong about Louie. He is not a buffoon (at least, his character on the show isn't). This show is depressing and hilarious all at the same time. I haven't ever seen another show like this - where normal life is portrayed and the depressing is funny and the funny is hilarious. My favorite thing about this show is that the character is really trying to raise his kids right - you can see that when he tells them they have nothing to complain about, and that they can ask their Aunt why she is racist.
And this character is so sweet - the earnestness and sweetness that he has pull at your heart. It's as if he's the only sane one in the world, and he's standing there watching the world go by, confused and not understanding why people are jerks and idiots.
I don't know - I'm usually good with words - but I don't have the words for this. It's a great show. Watch the pilot and another episode before you make up your mind (the pilot is not my favorite).
One thing, Lou--when you're doing your bit in the Cellar, do you always use the same 3 guys at the table sitting stage right? It's distracting. It's sloppy. If they aren't the same 3 guys, then they're awful close to the same. Put a woman or 2 there, or do something to really switch it up. Nitpicking? Maybe, but it's distracting.
You're the best in the business, Louie CK. But you've earned it. I remember 25 years ago, you doing a bit on Conan with Robert Smeagel (?), about how to communicate with your dog. Haha. You had all your hair still. Thanks, right?

Es Increíble!
(Incluye DVD y Blu Ray en el mismo paquete)
The one show I would spend my life watching over and over again. Brutally honest; as if someone transported me on the set and played out bits and pieces of my life. All of the uncomfortable thoughts I've ever had are here, worded by a brilliant Louis C.K.
I am in love with this show.
