Please don't spend money on this.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

This is something special. Feels like a stage play, with long shots and slow pacing. The performances from Steve Buscemi and Louis CK are truly outstanding. Awkward, achingly difficult to watch, but really outstanding. No trite feel-good resolution here, just a voyeuristic study of the darkness that oozes from the heart of man.

By episode three I decided not to rubber neck this train wreck of a show. But I try and be a fair guy, so I watched a few more episodes. It didn't help, in fact, I disliked it even more. While I admire Louis's decision not to score the show and style it in the old playhouse fashion, the show is depressing as hell. The total lack of any likable characters makes it dreary to the point of being disheartening. The bleak lives of the characters crushes you like a slow moving steamroller. The storyline and dialogue are so gloomy you can feel the weight of it. The acting, at times, is substantial and will lure you in. Still, however well acted certain scenes are, they only serve to ramp up the engines of despair that run throughout the show. On top of all that, Louis heaps up a generous amount of social preaching. Which tries to deliver up "All In The Family" type lessons, but falls far short. One has the sense that the awkward and forced messages are just added in to make the characters even more depressing than they already are. In my opinion, there is little reason to waste your time and emotions on this accident scene.

This is not Louie, no matter how much you want it to be like Louie, it's not. CK managed to put together a great ensemble of actors for an interesting project.I liked pretty much everything about the show, except for maybe the commentary on the then current election. Totally unnecessary in my opinion. Also, when one is learning about the service industry, a bartender should actually avoid 3 subjects as a rule: politics, religion and race. In real life, mostly in bars like Horace & Pete's, these topics are what people want to talk about most of the time.Interesting guest actors. Hannah Dunne was impressive. As was Laurie Metcalfe. Some episodes move you more than others. I think the best way to describe this is like *sad* Cheers. Even though it's obviously taped at a theatre-stage like studio, this show is much more authentic than most. 7.4/10

How can you describe one of the best shows you have seen on T.V. ?Well, do you mean, this month, this year, this decade ?How about EVER !If this work does not win every award it is eligible to receive, than the awards aren't worth winning.The cast alone will draw you in. They are a group that create their own high expectations, and they exceed them. Thoughtful, real, nuanced, brilliant, moving, all of it.Watch it on a big HD TV, and you will feel like you are in a small theatre. Hey, where's the coat check ? It is a visceral theatrical experience. They way it is set up, shot, and presented to the audience is amazing. It comes alive. You are there with them.The story ? Uncommon, touching, all while seeking and hitting deep points of your emotions. Every day life bits of humor and quirky characters, who are brought to the point of life.I can't wait to watch it all again, and again.It really is a masterpiece.
