    As a fan of his prior work, my score represents my overall reaction, half the jokes hit the other half was actually painful to watch. Not sure if his well deserved success has unfortunately tainted his observations on life and relationships. Hopefully this was just a hiccup in an other wise great stand up career.

    In Louis CK's new special he tends to move at a choppy pace, never getting his heart rate up or pushing towards exciting conclusions. He lets his stomping manner through delicate topics do the heavy lifting for him.

CK has always been bitter and irritated, but from the later seasons of his FX show up until "2017", his demeanor has grown incrementally depressed. I think he's reached a level of fame he's uncomfortable with so he's putting forth less effort. The material is unique as only he can present it, but it's less personal now and feels as though it's to push people away.… Expand

    It is really sad to see Louis CK not funny.

    Compared for example with his masterpiece at Beacon Theater in 2011, this one nowhere near. I think Louis needs to take a break for some time.

    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.

    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.

    A lot of this material is hilarious, but it’s hard not to be struck by how dire much of it is.
