Critics' reviews

"'Louie' intelligently harnesses the dark cloud that follows a truly funny man everywhere he goes."

Hank Stuever: The Washington Post
"It takes a while for 'Louie' to find its own voice, and while it is at times a crude and offensive one, it is not without a strange wit."

Alessandra Stanley: The New York Times
"If 'Seinfeld' had an absurdist, bitter brother, it would be 'Louie'. (...) Louis C.K. may not deserve our sympathy, but he's earned the laughs."

Paige Wiser: Chicago Sun-Times
"'Louie' isn't exactly what you'd call a joy ride, but there's joy to be had in its pungent authenticity."

Matt Roush: TV Guide
"['Louie'] was and remains one of the best on TV."

James Poniewozik: Time
