The TVI Take
Louis CK's FX series — before his admission of sexual misconduct complicated the legacy. Formally exceptional — the tonal range from farcical comedy to existential drama is unlike any other television.
Educational about the specific texture of middle-aged single parenthood. Formally innovative in ways that influenced much of what followed.
