sanjin_9632 This is not Louie, no matter how much you want it to be like Louie, it's not. CK managed to put together a great ensemble of actors for an interesting project.I liked pretty much everything about the show, except for maybe the commentary on the then current election. Totally unnecessary in my opinion. Also, when one is learning about the service industry, a bartender should actually avoid 3 subjects as a rule: politics, religion and race. In real life, mostly in bars like Horace & Pete's, these topics are what people want to talk about most of the time.Interesting guest actors. Hannah Dunne was impressive. As was Laurie Metcalfe. Some episodes move you more than others. I think the best way to describe this is like *sad* Cheers. Even though it's obviously taped at a theatre-stage like studio, this show is much more authentic than most. 7.4/10

hamidullahgenc Above all, we can start by saying that we had this tasteful cast, and modest set as well as a simple / daily story for the show of our lives however differently we may live!.. Okay, not everyone shares the same background with the characters nor with Louis C.K. who created and nurtured this mini-show, but there is something that touches your bare soul. Not that it has to have all / any answers to this mystery we call life, but because we are all just as lost as the characters on this show. No, not all of us stays lost until the last breath, but all of us at some point felt / was lost just like Horace, Pete, Sylvia or many more in this story...It does not matter if we were swallowed and enthralled (or not) by alcoholic drinks, wrongful acts inviting the laziness, aimlessness, harshness and ruthlessness.After all, we may, now or in the future, be very religious or ethical for that matter, leading a beneficial life both for ourselves and the universe. However, we are human beings, and we have problems and urges that need to be reflected in however realistic a way it may be!So, we love(d), too, to talk on Politics, to hate our neighbor, to go out with friends, to love a decent woman / man, oh, to be, of course, a troubled kid to go through life and figure all out!..At the end, we can safely tell that Louis C.K. did a really good job pointing out shadows that are really of life.Wait! We cannot finish without praising the brilliant actors and actresses one by one! Oh, we cannot celebrate all here!.. Let's honor four of them here! Thank you, Alan Alda! Thank you, Edie Falco!.. Thank you, Jessica Lange! Thank you, Steve Buscemi! You were all great!..Last to mention, there is a hard ending that awaits... Wow!.. We followed a perfectly simulated life up until our eyes misted over or even dropped tears!.. I hate you, Louis C.K. (No, I don't. I praise you!)Last but not least, Louis C. K. does not necessarily show violence no more than the content needs it. And this is particularly important for many shows reveal intolerable graphic and linguistic violence to the fullest!.. Bravo to you, Mr. C. K.!I give the show a "9,1". Yep!"Know that the life of the world is only play, and idle talk, and pageantry, and boasting among you, and rivalry in respect of wealth and children; as the likeness of vegetation after rain, whereof the growth is pleasing to the husbandman, but afterward it drieth up and thou seest it turning yellow, then it becometh straw. And in world to come there is grievous punishment, and (also) forgiveness from Allah and His good pleasure, whereas the life of the world is but matter of illusion."The Gracious Koran: 57; 20.

tntmatracia Well, thank you everyone involved in this show. Have you ever watched a show with other people in the room and nobody said a word until it was over? You know - that completely absorbed, stunned, dumbfounded,completely satisfied kind of feeling that leaves you speechless.That is Horace and Pete. I don't chase stars and I don't write letters to celebrities but I would really like to thank Louis CK for this outstanding effort. You just don't get this kind of entertainment very often from anyone. All of the acting was outstanding the characters were heartbreaking and believable. I wish there was more to watch - but what the hell. This was darn near perfect.

Daktal Imagine "Cheers" only instead of being light-hearted, episodes would focus on the fact that Sam is a sexual predator, Norm is an alcoholic in a terrible marriage and Cliff is wanted for Federal crimes. Also, Jessica Lange hangs out there.It's shot like a play, there are few to no takes and no audience. The writing and story are really raw and at times it can feel really uncomfortable. You get see Alan Alda give several angry monologues that will make you laugh, but are not funny. Louis CK and Steve Buscemi are in it doing what they usually do, but it's much darker than you would think. And like I said; Jessica Lange is there. Being Jessica Lange.
