NewsdayVerne GayApr 3, 2017
Season 1 Review: The usual C.K. show--fresh, funny, smart, bleak, offensive, entertaining--with one minor demerit, for an overlong finish. Read full review

The New York TimesJason ZinomanApr 3, 2017
Season 1 Review: 2017 [is] a snapshot not so much of our time but of Louis C. K. in his prime, a tight hour and 15 minutes revealing a dizzying number of ways to get a belly laugh: misdirection, juxtaposition, silly voices, act-outs, rambling personal stories, sex jokes. Read full review

IndieWireBen TraversApr 4, 2017
Season 1 Review: C.K.’s return to the stage showcases the confidence, charisma, and unflinching opinions you’ve come to love, and his material remains surprisingly off-kilter. Read full review

The AtlanticDavid SimsApr 4, 2017
Season 1 Review: It’s an impressive return--and a further indication that the hour-long comedy special is an art form with plenty of life left in it. Read full review

Yahoo TVKen TuckerApr 4, 2017
Season 1 Review: He’s very good at making jokes that are carefully constructed and timed down to the syllable sound like ordinary conversation. He adds to his growing catalogue of acute observations about marriage and raising children, and articulates some differences between middle-aged Louis and his more youthful self. Read full review

ColliderEvan ValentineApr 4, 2017
Season 1 Review: Ultimately, while not necessarily being one of Louis’ all time greats, 2017 is another welcome addition to the Louis C.K. catalogue and a definite thumbs up for the Netflix stand-up comedy library. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleDavid WiegandApr 3, 2017
Season 1 Review: Along the way, Louis C.K. toggles between grouchy and apologetic, his two most oft-used standup comedy gears. He does this to such perfection that even the few moments when the content is weak or a tad forced, he still has his audience on the floor. Read full review

New York Magazine (Vulture)Matt Zoller SeitzApr 4, 2017
Season 1 Review: A lot of this material is hilarious, but it’s hard not to be struck by how dire much of it is. Read full review
