Louie needs to let professional writers punch up his scripts

This show had a lot of potential, but I don't think Louis CK has the writing skills, mental skills or emotional depth to really make this show as good as it could have been.

It came across like a high school play and the dialogue felt stunted and forced many times. There were some good topics in this series, I just think Louis would be better served by letting professionals polish his scripts.

Yeah, I think Louie wrote the script and then polished it up. Professional means neutering the scripts of any Louis CK humor and depth. Look at the majority of scripts that professionals are churning out; it's cliched garbage.
