In Reply to: Baskets new comedy series on FX posted by tunenut on January 23, 2016 at 20:00:01:
I liked Louis the first couple of seasons. It was a refreshing mix of comedy, serious issues, real life pathos. The last couple of seasons, though, it's just been a grind watching this perennial loser who can do nothing right.
And that's exactly what we've been served with this new series. Right off the bat, we get to watch a genuinely pathetic human being who someone figured would be funny just by being a loser. I guess it helps if he's fat. Helps if he's awkward around women. Helps if he appears to welcome being crapped on by every person that he comes into contact with.
