I really wanted Mary to go out with Larry. Or for her to turn him down bc of the Fatwah.
If we’re talking about regurgitated Seinfeld ideas, Larry should embrace the Fatwah to pick up women kind of like that episode where George is the cool, dangerous guy and dates Elaine’s assistant.
The Fatwah thing is just getting on my nerves. The whole disguise every time he goes out is annoying

The disguise is so ridiculous it is hilarious. The thing with the cookie table had me dying. And when he was effing the Muslim he starts naming off Trump's cabinet I about died.
The only annoying parts are Leon and the new security guy.
Leon is one of the best parts of the series, but I agree that the security guy needs to go. There was absolutely nothing funny about him
Yes, solo Leon is good but almost every scene this episode was with the new guy. When they kept interrupting his phone call the anger Larry had is shit I can relate to.
"I'm not even gonna bring up the fact that you're ******* in your ***dam glasses"
Leon is good for one lol per episode at least.

pretty good episode last night gang. Hopefully Elizabeth Banks continues her role throughout the season. Her bits comparing her adopted cat to Suzy's "little sister" were great.
Banks is so hot.
I thought it was pretty funny when he confronted the chef about the "disturbance". Also Vice Principals was EXCELLENT! When the wife shit ok his face I about died.
Great ep. Pissed me off LD had to pay that ticket. Nobody is above the beep!
Pretty good episode. Some stuff bothered me but it doesn’t feel nearly as forced as the first two episodes did. The random Muslim guy with a broken arm showing up and Larry yelling Fatwah though was a major eye roll.
I thought everyone was gonna find out Larry set up the kid with the prostitute once Marty started seeing the psychiatrist.

Bryan Cranston was great as expected. When Larry said to his wife "hope you enjoy truffle season" I laughed uncontrollably.
I thought the ending was weird with him just getting stuck with the bill for the chair since usually the ending ties every story together. I would’ve bumped that to earlier in the episode then have that new chair be some point of conflict/disturbance at the funeral.
Looks like Jeff is buying a big shiny new house too just bc he was porking some real estate agent. No idea why that woman had interest in just a strictly sexual relationship with a fatso like Jeff. Wish we’d seen some scheme or something where her whole angle to pork married rich guys just so they buy houses from her or something. That doesn’t make too sense but it makes more sense than some super successful non actress that would wanna bone Jeff
Yeah flow seemed off but the humor was pretty on point. I've definitely enjoyed the last 2 eps more than the first 2. Just a blessing to have it back after so long.
What? Haha when he said “the baby looks a little Asian” was awesome.
Got caught up on the last couple. Ep 5 I thought was not good. I mean it had it's moments but the thing with the faces and then the PTSD, meh.
Ep 6 was decent but not up to LDs high standards. A lot of it is feeling recycled but then I've watched every Seinfeld and Curb multiple times.
This last episode was just so lazy in how it resolved itself. The dirty car b story was completely pointless and the whole “purposeful accidental fake text” thing was just solved bc Suzy knew.
This season really has no greater story arc though. The Fatwah shit appears to be over. So it’s just sort of whatever until he just wants to use it again
When he shoved the spritz girl was pretty great. I thought the honey part with Richard Lewis was good. Leon had his moments.
The eps definitely don’t come together like the great Seinfeld’s or Curbs of the past.
I thought the spritz thing was funny but it was kind of out of character. Normally Larry would have argued with that woman about how to do her job. Just like he did with cookie lady at the hotel. But the whole thing was just a mechanism to get marty’s Gf to hate Larry some more.
The whole season just seems a bit off. It’s like Larry forgot how to play Larry
All caught up gang. It's definitely gotten whacky but I'm still enjoying it.
The season has definitely had its moments but overall has been disappointing. Last weeks stuff with the Muslim council or whatever was totally cringey and this week’s whole sub plot with the woman that used to own the House was pretty bad too. Lin Manuel Miranda is awesome though. I legit laughed out loud when he said that the verses were gonna be “satanic.”
I think the show is fine but the long layoff between seasons caused them to lose a lot of behind the scenes talent so it doesn’t have the same continuity that it previously had. Kind of like what happened when Netflix picked up arrested development. A lot of the writers from that show are now producers on Modern Family and even the Russo Brothers were heavily influential in that show and they’re now directing Marvel movies.
It’s just a different product now and I think Larry is kind of operating without any checks and balances
Yeah that scene was really awkward. I don’t like how they feel the need to spell out Larry’s character. It’s like we know he’ll say anything that’s the whole show no shit. Still hits more than enough to be quality TV.
Yeah. Even though Cheryl isn’t that funny, she was the perfect foil for Larry bc she prevented him from being “Larry” and his struggle to maneuver around that was always funnier than him just being an asshole. Bc then, you sympathized him and you don’t anymore.
But, all the premises are too bloated now anyways and not nearly as believable. They should have just cut that whole old lady thing out and had Larry go on Judge Judy against the Shooker for the tickets. And then everyone watching would’ve found out Larry slept during the play.
Looks like he had fun and it’s coming back.
Gotta lot of ideas how to make it better. Maybe I’ll email hbo
Alec Berg used to be an EP on Seinfyand was one on Curb as well until that six year hiatus. He’s currently an EP on Silicon Valley, another hbo show, but I’d love it if Larry could get him back for a bit. Clearly a guy Larry trusts and may have really helped him maneuver around some of the dumb shit this past season
