Finally got around to finishing [B]Horace and Pete[/B]. Watched the first two episodes a year ago and really didn't know what to think of it. And now after watching all 10, still don't. Louis CK built a career on "uncomfortable", and this series is really dark for the most part. Production-wise, it's like the old Playhouse 90. Cast is outstanding, and there are many incredible interactions. But not much plot. Just interactions and more uncomfortableness. One critic called it a "situation tragedy". I think it was episode 4 that was simply Louie listening to a late 50s Laurie Metcalf having an affair with her 84-year old father-in-law for a half hour that was the epitome of cringey yet compelling. And a later episode where Louie has a one-night stand with a woman that results in a morning conversation over eggs about transexuals not having complete equality until a hetero man can have sex with a transwoman and not consider it being like gay sex was simply the best TV writing I can recall in 20-30 years. Say what you will about CK, but the man is a genius. Troubled, but genius nonetheless.
