Anyone watched this, the new show by Loius CK.
It is hard to explain, it is like Cheers with depression. Alan Alda is a stand out for me.
it isn't for everyone, but I am enjoying it because it is different, and i am a fan of Louis CK's way of putting stuff like this out.
I know you pricks wont believe it, but I have paid for all the eps so far.

Re: Horace and Pete's
this is like no other show i've ever seen. It's more like a theatre production because it's so raw. There are almost no edits, no sound effects or subtle background music, just different camera angles and actual pauses between lines. It really highlights the difference good acting makes. When there's random unknown actors coming into the bar and having a conversation you can clearly tell it's acting, but when the pro's do it you feel like you're watching life happen. That opening scene in episode 3 with the camera fixed on Laurie Metcalf uninterrupted for nearly 10mins is one of the most brilliant bits of tv and acting i've seen. I had no idea she was such a good actor. One thing is for sure this is not a normal Louie CK comedy, but it's brilliant but it's no comedy. Also i fucking hate Alan Alda's character, but he plays him so well.

I am so glad someone said that. I have never seen the likes of it before. I was dumbfounded. I have watched it again and thought the same thing.
Alan Alda, man, that character.

Jesus fuck that last episode was tough to watch. Surprised to see the kid from Two and a Half Men at the end.
