    As much as I love Louis CK the comedian and that I really like Louie season 1-3 I had some trouble with season 5.

    All the humanist, humorous, mildly self deprecating side of Louis CK that was central to the show has been replaced by something much darker. There is so much misery and self hatred that the character and situations are hardly relatable.

    I don't think that's a conscious artistic decision either: the season has been produced on a significantly tighter timescale than the previous ones, and there's definitely a feeling that the show has been hurriedly put together, with a lot of sloppy writing and poor acting - seriously Pamela Aldon is awful, just remove her once and for all.

    I score this season 2/10 because here and there you may have a chuckle, but overall it's abysmal :(    … Expand

    The fantasy sequences and flashbacks are gone, with the show instead focused fully on awkward situations, mix-em-ups and conversations so serious they can either break your heart or crack you up.... Watching Louie means looking at the world through C.K.'s eyes; and through his eyes, the world is never boring.

    Most importantly, the show is terribly funny this season. Louie is back at the top of its game.

    It remains, as ever, a wholly original concoction that’s a thing of odd beauty.
