Watch Louie

Louie is an American comedy-drama television series that aired on FX from 2010 to 2015. The show was created, edited, and starred in by Louis C.K, a comedian widely renowned for his unapologetic approach to the topics of race, sex, and politics. Louie follows the life and times of a fictionalized version of Louis C.K., a single dad raising his two daughters in New York City while trying to navigate the challenges of stand-up comedy and everyday life.

Throughout the show's five-season run, Louie deals with a variety of topical issues and themes, ranging from the mundanity of modern life to more serious topics like addiction, depression, and sexual assault. At its core, however, Louie is a character study, exploring the often-turbulent inner life of its protagonist as he struggles to find meaning and purpose in a world that can be both unforgiving and absurd.

One of the most striking aspects of Louie is its unique blend of comedy and drama. The show is full of moments of pitch-black humor and absurdity, such as when Louis C.K. finds himself trapped in a precarious, potentially deadly situation on a city bus. But it's also unflinchingly honest in its portrayal of darker, more serious themes

Louie is a series that ran for 5 seasons (123 episodes) between June 29, 2010 and on FX
