Bold, dark (at times, even depressing), and yet side-splittingly funny, Louis CK has created a unique brand of comedy over the course of his illustrious career. Starting with somewhat of a cult following, FX’s Louie has matured into one of the finest dark and insightful comedies on television. The show clearly owes its success to its brilliant writing, acting and venturing into unchartered territories. In many ways, it does what Larry David’s Curb Your Enthusiasm did, only Louie seems more adventurous in its self-deprecation and much more philosophical and thought-provoking in its outcome.
