Having missed Curb Your Enthusiasm somehow over the past years I recently saw the film "Whatever Works", a Woody Allen directed film starring Larry David, creator of "Seinfeld" and star of Curb Your Enthusiasm so I thought I would give it a try. OK, so this is not the kind of show that is going to get the audiences of say a Friends or even a Seinfeld but that's not the aim here.
Starting, as you do, with season one I found it very enjoyable. Following the day to day life of Larry David, Curb Your Enthusiasm tracks the trials and tribulations of a cantankerous New Yorker living in Beverly Hills who's simple life is made ever so cumbersome by his attitude to life and the life of others. Critics will say that Larry Davids "character", Larry David, is too unlikeable but I think that's where the comedy comes from and many of the situations that he finds himself in you will relate too more than you think. Guest stars a plenty in most episodes as Larry gets pissed off or pisses someone off most days over the simplest of things.
Curb Your Enthusiasm was prematurely ended after seven seasons but before you go and buy that box set that's just been reduced in price - stop - series eight has just been given the go ahead so more misery ensues.
