It is enough sui generis that it can be off-putting the first few times you see it, and it is not easy to get a context for what you are watching. The first two seasons are on Netflix, and if you did not get a chance to watch a critical mass of them in sequence, I encourage you to devote a couple of hours to giving it another try. If you can't make yourself try them from the beginning, I would at least urge you to watch the two Afghanistan episodes from I think the end of the season 1, if you have not already seen those. I thought Season 3 was even better than the first two, and the arc related to Late Show was both particularly funny and insightful. I am not sure I would classify Louie as a Sitcom, but there is not a 30 minute television program currently in production that I enjoy watching more (I would put Veep a close second). ** -- TV or Not TV ....
