2. Summary

   Perfect 5.0

   Larry David is a true comedy genius. Who showed it when he produced a certain little sitcom known as “Seinfeld” but his real talent shows on HBO’s classic comedy series “Curb Your Enthusiasm”. “Curb” is a fictitious version of Larry David’s life post-seinfeld as writer and producer in Los Angeles. His misadventures lead to dirty jokes, divorce, and numerous arguments between him and his best friend Jeff’s wife(including some celebrity encounters as well). In my personal opinion, modern TV is an endangered species, but “Curb” shows you there is some hope left in great TV. Just don’t let the kids watch it. : )

4. Acting

   Perfect 5.0

   Larry David is such a terrible person. He curses people out, he can’t start a conversation without arguing with someone, and he’s dirty as hell. But this is what makes him so funny and so fun to watch. He’s such a terrible person, and yet you like him and feel for his character. The supporting cast is very strong as well. Cheryl Hynes is excellent as Larry’s ex wife that he’s been trying to get back. I also enjoy Jeff Garlin as Larry’s best friend. But the true standout in the supporting area is Susie Essman as Jeff’s wife. She is hilariously angry and so funny.
