BASKETS
January 19, 2017  | By David Bianculli

FX, 10:00 p.m. ET

 
SEASON PREMIERE: Zach Galifianakis plays two roles on Baskets, which returns on FX tonight to begin its second season. Yet the actor getting the most attention last year was Louie Anderson, who won an Emmy for playing the role of a mom. Specifically, the mother of the twins played by Galifianakis. Both comic actors are doing something truly special here, and delicately subtle. Baskets has been described as a “slapstick drama,” and that’s pretty damned close. Watch it and see… For full reviews, see David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower and Ed Bark's Uncle Barky's Bytes.
