Louie goes back to basics in Season 5
Even the theme song is back after being MIA last season, notes James Poniewozik. “The simplest way of putting it is that the season looks like a return to basics, to the extent that there is a ‘basic’ setting for this free-form canvas about Louis CK’s floundering, philosophical, single-dad alter ego,” says Poniewozik. “The confidence and adventurousness of Louie’s experiments are still present, but reined in and focused.” PLUS: This season is darker and smarter than ever, Season 5 begins with what seems like an auto-critique of Season 4, and it appears Season 4 is straightforward, unlike last year.

FX’s The Comedians: “It wants to be edgy, but it just has nothing much to say”
The Billy Crystal-Josh Gad vehicle is the “celebrities-fictionalize-their-own-lives genre at its clunkiest,” says Joe Reid. “The world of The Comedians never feels all that outrageous,” he says.. “The sketches that Crystal and Gad perform in are all solid B-minus to C-plus. Their stop-and-start friendship is utterly unremarkable. Nobody seems willing to go anywhere remotely risky. In the first episode, Steven Weber shows up as the program’s director who has recently transitioned (in some vaguely defined way) to a transgender woman. I was so ready for something offensive to transpire that I nearly grabbed the arms of my chair.” PLUS: There are glimmers of hope that this could eventually be a good show, it is sadly ill-conceived, and The Comedians comes across as the most-cutting showbiz satire of 1991.
