I've seen the first 3 so far. I liked the first 2 eps a lot. Not being contrarian here, but 3 lost me a bit. I thought Metcalf was pretty amazing, but Louis just wasn't believable as this type of woman's ex husband. Their personalities just didn't mesh for me or maybe his acting just was no where near as good as hers and that's what bugged me. The concept was cool but it definitely dragged out and started to enter the realm of self indulgence and pretentious art.

5 was kinda weak. the discussions at the bar continue to be terrible. nick dipaolo is an awful actor.

last scene in ep 6 was pretty great, and was nice to get a longer ep for my $3

Imdb says there are only 7 episodes. Is that correct? Or are they just adding them as they go because they don't know how many there will be?

yeah, 8 came out today. there will very likely be 10. 5 was the end of act 1 and i can't imagine there being 15.

sepinwall wrote a really nice summary to the show here. if you're still on the fence about spending money on this, or are curious about what it was, the opening few paragraphs don't contain any spoilers:

Quote:
I'm never going to tell someone who doesn't do this for a living the best way to spend their entertainment dollar, and particularly on something as specific and dark as this. But I will say that this is easily the best show I've watched so far in 2016, and that other contenders (whether the rest of this season of The Americans, or the final season of The Leftovers, whenever it airs, or something coming from out of left field) will have to work very hard to surpass it. This wasn't a perfect, polished work of art. It was messy. It tried a lot of things, many of which worked, some of which (having the barflies debate current events) didn't quite. But those performances, and the work done in crafting the characters and having them shoulder the weight of generations and traditions, were extraordinary. It was grim, it was thoughtful, it was on occasion shockingly hilarious, and it wasn't quite like anything anyone's attempted in TV before. Even in this golden age of experimentation in comedy and drama, that's hard to do, let alone to do it as well as nearly everyone involved in Horace and Pete did what they did.

there's also this, linked in the above, which is great (contains spoilers):

If recall correctly, according to today's Howard Stern interview with him, Louis CK was funding the entire production out of his own pocket at $500,000 per episode! This is despite the fact he is a big enough star to get funding from many sources. The actors aren't being paid much unless it is profitable. I only saw EP 1 and its great to see these actors like Alda and Buscemi and others acting in new roles in this format. They are terrific. On the other hand, the show is pretty downbeat, maybe too much so. Enjoy.

i haven't listened to the stern clips yet, i'll go through the whole interview tonight.

i had a feeling the show wasn't doing too good: there are less than 100 posts in this thread and very few comments on every episode on sepinwall/the avclub. i checked out the torrent numbers and they were very low also. episode 10 was incredibly good and there are a grand total of two posts in this thread about it, yet you have stuff like the walking dead thread blowing up. even just glancing at this thread you can see a few financially secure louie fans deciding not to buy (m)any episodes, and i'm guessing that wasn't in the script.

i'm sure he will be able to sell the show to a network or streaming site and recoup most of his losses (and that he deemed it financially smarter to see the run out as opposed to knocking the experiment on the head after 4-5 episodes), but it saddens me a bit that this was an abject failure. for those who were really into it, it was a lot of fun to get that email every saturday.
