So I caught up with this, seen every episode and while it definitely has it's moments, Lucky Louie is still the superior show. I think Louis directing the show himself was a bad idea because it takes him 3-5 minutes to get across a sentence worth of progression, on average. The pacing is retarded on most episodes. While the unconventional elements initially pulled me in, it has just become off putting because it never really works as well as traditional comedic timing and competent directing would have.
