    As much as I just love Louis CK and really value and respect his work, I really have mixed feeling about this new season.

The first sign that something was wrong with the show was "So Did The Fat Lady" with it's insufferable patronizing monologue, the whole marijuana arc also did not work well. Overall this season of the show falls short of expectation :(… Expand

    This show has always been pretty loose, but in this series Louis CK spends a short twenty minutes riffing around a subject and then bye bye roll credits. It just feels so much less substantial than earlier series. My highlight so far was Pamela Adlon's reappearance, which inexplicably lasted for all of two minutes.

I have to agree with the more negative reviewer who said if this was the first series, no one would watch it. I feel Louis CK is slightly taking his audience for granted here. And where have the opening credits gone?… Expand

    The worst TV show worth watching. Random story-lines, pathetic characters, no point, but I am seeing it. hmhmhmhmhmhmhmhmhmhmmhmhmhmhmhmmhmhmhmhmhmhmh

    As the seasons progress, the character put into situations that are less dynamic, simply 2-D scenarios of disappointment, sadness, frustration, and they're rarely resolved. Louie's death grip on the making of his show is suffocating it's production. It's exhausting putting out a television show when you are the lead actor, director, only writer, and editor.

    It’s not that the season was bad--it was daring and often beautiful, emphasizing serial storytelling over episodic one-offs, with many indelible moments, especially those involving Louie’s daughters.

    Its main purpose is to confront the taboo, and whether that means exploring just how far Louie will go into the "experimental" side of masturbation in the season premiere or simply digging into his ugliest prejudices about overweight women, the show can be revelatory.

    It’s clear that C.K. made good use of the time off to recharge his creative batteries. The season’s third episode, “So Did the Fat Lady,” is his best yet.
