I'm currently on episode three, going to be hard to finish it. I agree it definitely feels more like a play, like someone mixed up Cheers and Death of a Salesman, really heavy, intense, hard to even finish an episode. I've been basically breaking them in half. The casting and acting have been solid.
He had a great interview on Maron last week, which is why I bought the season. Maron said he binged the show, I don't see how it would be possible to sit through the entire thing in a day.
I definitely miss Louie right now, I love how it blends comedy and awkwardness together. I rewatched the episode with Seinfeld the other day, one of my favorites.
