Post Horace and Pete
So Louis C.K. dropped a completely under wraps miniseries set in a bar with Steve Buscemi, Edie Falco, Jessica Lange and Alan Alda on his website available for a few dollars.

I thought the first episode was incredible. Highly recommended for people who like play-like screenplays (it is close to being a chamber piece set in a bar) especially ones with emotionally stunted characters in it. The acting was predictably stellar with Alda as the standout so far. This is one of the best things I've seen in a while

Wow, the third episode was unbelievable. This show has some of my favorite writing ever

A few people recommended this to me, I always forget about it. I think I'll download one episode just to remember it.

Watched the first episode. Did not expect that AT ALL. It's not a comedy and it goes on for over an hour. I expected a sitcom. Anyway, it was strangely appealing. I wish there was some lightness to it, but seeing Buscemi and C.K. and Alda in a play environment is great.

I found it to be funny but it's clearly a blacker style of humor. Some of the random quips by the bar patrons are hilarious

Yeah, I laughed a few times, but not nearly enough as I should have done for something that runs for over an hour and stars Louis C.K., and it's a million miles away from Louis C.K. and his stand-up routine type of humour - which I was expecting it to be. It's the first C.K. television series I'd watched.

Louie is definitely the more lighthearted and comedic show and a hundred times more popular and present on social media. Horace and Pete was a side project that he released independently online and most people have no idea it exists.

Well, it's been bought by Hulu now so that will change. But I cannot find Louis anywhere!!!! I really want to see it.

Second episode better mixes the tragedy with the humour. Much more successful as black humour. Loved it.

I'm half way. Hopefully they sell the fucking pub and split it three ways. Sister pays for her cancer treatment. And Horace/Pete open a new pub and call it "Horace and Pete's" because they will have $4 million to do it with. Glad Uncle Pete died. Surprising but glad because he was a nasty cunt. Looks like the sister is taking in his footsteps. She is being a horrible bitch to her daughter.
