I like Louis C.K. for the most part, but this show just gets more pretentious and weird with every season and I'm not sure I'm on board with it anymore. It seems to be slowly turning into some barely watchable Lars Von Trier movie.

Binary Logic posted:Man, Louis CK is turning into tv's Kevin Smith, with apologists finding ways to justify his awful unfunny choice of material. The show would probably be better with someone else as director. And the fake ad-libbiness of the dialog is really starting to grate on me. I agree with all of this 100%

Bown posted:It feels cruel to call CK the Kevin Smith of TV the year he seemingly finally learnt how to be a visual director. A bunch of the arty shots remind me of something that would be in a comedy that was making fun of art house films. I do think he is far more talented than Kevin Smith in general though, even if I sort of agree with the comparison. I think he's getting up his own rear end a little too much at this point. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 09:17 on Jun 6, 2014 |

I don't know if I would call the bully episode funny. Especially the latter half of it. Still by far it was the best episode by a long shot. It's what sold me on the show. I personally don't care if it's funny or not. It's just sort of bad and pretentious and creepy in general at this point and it used to be pretty good. Whoever said that he needs a proper director and editor earlier was spot on.

Wow how the hell did I not notice that the doctor is Charles Grodin until someone mentioned it?

Illinois Smith posted:Maybe you should rewatch those earlier weird & artsy episodes sometime. I'm trying to see where this opinion people in here have about the big dramatic shift in tone this season comes from, I think it's a combo of Some of the direction has made me laugh for the wrong reasons. A bunch of his non Non sequitur stuff is just so bad. The way the fucks with switching around actors and the characters is just terrible (I know he's really nihilistic about it but it really just makes the show incoherent. It adds nothing) Then he tries to pull off these corny art house shots like Amia running from a gazebo into a church that look something from a show making fun of art house films...but it's not tongue in cheek at all. The show is still really good at times but he seems to be convincing himself he's some sort of renaissance man that he is not. The last episode was definitely great though.
