I really don't know what else to say about this episode of Louie other than the fact that it's one of the greatest episodes of TV I've ever seen in my life. All the usual Louie elements are there - incredible writing, beautiful photography, wonderful direction and a fantastic performance from C.K. himself - but in addition to that you have a virtuoso acting performance from Michael Rapaport who plays an annoying, imposing but emotionally blighted NYPD cop who used to date Louie's sister and who now wants to be his friend, much to the dismay of Louie. The characterization of the cop is beautifully observed in both Louie's writing and Rapaport's performance. He's a thoroughly believable character who leaps out of the screen at you. I'm constantly amazed by the acting performances in this show and this is no exception. Classic TV.

That asian woman.

Good lord, I'm so disgusted by that asian lady in the introduction. Louie is such a wuss for just taking it like that, cause she was actually being a huge dick. Arrogant millenials thinking they are changing the world for the better, being better than older generations. Why? Cause we drink organic almond milk now and pretend we care about the environment while sitting behind our electronic devices, or cause we join all kinds of protests in our selfrighteousness? Yuck. I'm saying this as a millenial btw. Also, what the hell does her race have to do anything in that situation? It was completely irrelevant in that context, but somehow we have to make it about race? Is Louis actually trying to imply she was standing in her right like that? The part with Lenny was nice though..
