Great show. I have loved him from the first time I saw his stuff and will love him forever... whatever happened. Louie gets us and knows what we think about and what we want to say but most of us don't have the balls to do so. Well he does and yet for those who know his stuff and have seen it all (like me) he can still surprise you after so many years. Is he such a poet as Chappelle? Probably not. Is he as edgy as Jeselnik or Jimmy Carr? No. But what he is for sure is real and natural and very very funny. To me this might be one of the best specials he had done but most of all he never lets down and if this is the first Louis CK show you have ever seen and liked it you are in for many hours of greatness. Lucky you.

First of all, I love Louis CK with all my heart. The only comedian that makes me cry, in a good way. Have watched EVERY show and every TV work he has ever done, also his films. But...how can I say it?..If "Back to the Garden" is the first show you've seen by CK you will probably like it and will find it funny. If you a hardcore fan..hmm .."Sorry"..Bible jokes were alright but overall set dynamics were all over the shop, many reworked jokes from previous sets. I don't know.. Laboured? ( I know it sounds horrible..) The fact CK taking a year break is a good thing I think. Any way good luck CK'ski and see you with new good work soon!

So I have followed Louie and his stand up since 2008, and I can say, this one, while very edgy and cringe, fails to reach the same comedy standards he had shown before. Louie talks about serious issues, as always, with very dark, maybe the darkest ones so far, twists. He may have reached that age when he just doesn't censor himself at all anymore, and just brings out the heaviest cingiest jokes out of the bag. While I see this a positive, I think he had done shows in which I experienced huge amounts of bursting into laughter, almost hystrically. I'm not saying this is a bad show, I'm just saying he's done better one in the past.
