This show is a credit to Louis CK. Its basic aesthetic-formula can only succeed if the writing & performances are very good, which they are. A special mention has to go to Alan Alda who is wonderful in the role of Uncle Pete.
The show is funny & engaging & also authentic, which is half the battle of any good show. By 'authentic' I mean it has an accessible & familiar look & feel. I know these people, these people look like they could live next door to me as opposed to a Barbie castle. No Ken dolls or mind-crushed girls with heels & no knickers in sight. American TV is screaming out for a show of this calibre. This is a show with actual substance as opposed to; look at the shiny-shiny.
I watched this round at a pals house, apparently this show isn't on TV at present, although I watched it on my pals'.
PS. It's honest, that's what it is. Normal folk can relate to it. There's no pseudo-liberal middle-class sentimentality which so much TV is drenched in these days. It's not scared to offend!
