"Louie" might leave you wondering, "Wait a minute, is this supposed to be funny or terribly sad?" Louis CK is one of the best comedians out there because of his ability to produce and hone in on what makes for tons of good material, his honesty, and because of the quality of his work; but tuning in to his show might lead viewers looking for a quick laugh to reassess whether or not they want to make a go of life or end it all. "Louie", which plays on FX (and instant streams on Hulu and Netflix) doesn't always leave you laughing. Despite Louis CK's recent success explosion (and yes, that's a thing), his title character is depressing, a modern take on the old "sad clown" archetype, and so his show becomes a depiction of a character who tries to be a good person amidst a world filled with harsh truths. In layman's terms, it gets real. So if you like your dick jokes mixed in with a hint of terrible sadness, watch the following three episodes of "Louie" and then feel inspired to write the loveliest of suicide note farewells.
