Is the entire series a dream?


Are we (the audience) looking through Louie's point of view watching his life?
There are a few things that just make me think, 2 seasons in, that none of it is real.
His agent/manager is 12 years old.
The day he "visits" his father, he experienced some unrealistic things.
The pilot, some chick got on a helicopter.

Are we experiencing Louie's surreal life?

Its not really a real show with a proper narrative. More surreal observations of life and modern customs.

I'm up to season 4 now. It is pretty surreal. There's no continuity besides a few people like his daughters, Pamela, his brother, his agent etc.

Since you have only watched 2 seasons I have tagged a couple of spoilers

I thought 'Where did that helicopter come from?'. I then reasoned that she was something like a news reporter and that was one of her colleagues in the helicopter.
Yeh his Agent is about 15 which nobody notices.
His ex wife is black, Louis is ginger but his 2 daughters are blonde. Also there was a backflash scene from when Louis was young with the same ex wife who was white.
The Christmas/New year episode where Liz?(from the book shop) died in front of Louis and then Louis when to China looking for the Yangtze river. That was an almost dream like episode which was also really sad.

After 4 seasons I don't question it anymore.
