Deep inside you know you're him. Curb Your Enthusiasm is the hit HBO'' comedy series starring Larry David as... Larry David! Each half-hour episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm features verite-style footage of David at home at work and around town as he gets into predicaments with well everybody.
I had only ever heard of Curb Your Enthusiasm, but wasn't sure whether or not to buy it. I saw the review and that you couldn't rate it highly enough, so I ordered it from HMV. It is one of the funniest programmes out there, and I can only recommend everyone who sees this does the same.
Curb Your Enthusiasm follows Larry David (a fictionalised version of himself) and his life as a semi-retred writer and producer in America. Larry is an endearing naif, a man who is immune to the shame anyone else would feel - as a result, he regularly speaks his mind and lands himself in trouble at every corner. The show has a simple formula; Larry schemes, he offends and always gets his comeuppance. And yet, it is so much more. The route it takes is always unpredictable, and always hilarious.
His ego or lack of shame means Larry never learns a lesson, and lands himself in hot water at every opportunity. There is a very real level of discomfort when watching this show, as watching one man dig himself into ever deeper holes leads to a significant amount of shouting at the TV begging him to stop. Although never setting out to offend, he somehow always manages to do just that, even if the initial offence wasn't his fault. An example of this would be in one particular episode, where he and his wife Cheryl acquire a dog that only ever barks at black people. The routes the episode takes for Larry's final lesson is absurd and can leave you scratching your head thinking "Well, how did you get here?!"
"Curb" is also largely improvised, leading to many lines which are just so much funnier than one could ever hope to write. The calibre of guest stars in so many of the episodes (also often playing fictionalised versions of themselves) is amazing too. The incredible season 4 finale - which has Larry playing Max Bialystock in "The Producers" - boasts many cameos, including Mel Brooks, David Schwimmer, Jerry Seinfeld, Stephen Colbert and dozens more.
Simply put, the multi-award winning Curb Your Enthusiasm is one of the greatest TV shows of the last decade. Cleverly improvised, often offensive and always hilarious, this show deserves your attention.
