In this weeks episode it was so good that they touched the subject of being confused in different times and ages in your life. And the fact that you shouldn't feel guilty about it.
I love that this show is in some ways so real and talks about real life issues in this serious, but light way.
I've always liked the fact that Louis CK's stand ups has this side, but now, thanks to this show, i have discovered Pamela Adlon.
Thanks to all the people who make this show, I personally think it's a gem.

The daughter's revelation about her confusion and feeling like a loser was very touching.

Kind of weird that it happened while she was included in a lighthearted adult conversation . . . about abortion?

I'm really enjoying it, as well. It's a series I look forward to watching each week.

For me, the show gets better with each episode. I loved the way Sam took care to show love to each daughter in episode 5.

She's human and real, and I like that. Lucky Louie and Louie shows fan here!

I watched Lucky Louie and Californication, and I enjoyed them both. I didn't watch Louie though. Frankly I saw one episode of it, and I never wanted to see it again.

I have stuck with this show so far, not feeling crazy about it. But I agree last night's episode had a nice moment between mother and daughter.

I'm with you; I liked it from the beginning, but I like it more with each passing week.

I loved the scene with her talking to Jeff, her friend Sunny's stoner boyfriend; that was really well written and acted, I thought.

And this past week, with just the pieces of her day: the young actor who got fired and then wanted to make it with her; then dinner with her ex; then going to her mom's house. I don't know, I just like the realness of it.

I love it too. I look forward to it every week, I really like Pamela Adlon, and I agree- It feels real, especially because of the dialog which seems quite natural. As a mother of two girls, I cried during some of the scenes with Sam and her daughters - and also laughed out loud - When the smoke alarm was going off and about 10 kids come out of Max's room- LOL!!! Really took me back to my daughters' high school days!!
