"Seinfeld" co-creator Larry David plays a version of himself on the improvised series. He faces a constant barrage of life's little annoyances, which in David's sometimes well-meaning but terminally fumbling hands don't tend to stay small for very long. Episodes frequently center on his ignorance of or disregard for well-established social conventions and expectations, as well as his insistence that others adhere to rules of which only he seems to be aware. Developed from a 1999 one-hour special on HBO that was envisioned as a one-time project, the series premiered in October 2000.

Curb Your Enthusiasm is a funny, scary distillation of [Larry] David's experience of the world, where nearly everything makes him angry, including his sense that he probably has no right to be angry. Go to Full Review John Carman San Francisco Chronicle Jan 24, 2020
4/4
It's howlingly funny, groaningly close to home and usually both. Go to Full Review Linda Stasi New York Post Jun 13, 2018

Ken D @RT17096547 Jun 28, 2026 Rewatching Seinfeld with a completely different perspective after seeing the mostly unfiltered Larry David. Consistently very funny. See more Brian M @RT70074185 Jun 3, 2026 Larry David is the perfect definition of a "Brilliant mind". I love the twists and turns in the movie. Every unfortunate situation he gets into shows how brilliant the guy is. The film is prettttty, pretttty good!! See more Julie A. @snacksizecinema May 21, 2026 I don't know why I didn't watch the show when it was first on, this is an amazing show! See more Jeremy T @RT32870529 Mar 12, 2026 Easily the dumbest show I've EVER seen. The plot is ALWAYS the same, copy some Seinfeld episode but make the ending so things MAGICALLY fall apart for Larry. Sooooo funny, if you have a low IQ See more Shane C @RT13112589 Jul 26, 2025 Ranking every curb episode Season 1 1.beloved aunt 2.the pants tent 3.porno gill 4.interior director 5.ted and Mary 6.affrimative action 7.the braclet 8.ammaco See more Jango F @RT25321575 Jun 13, 2025 Cheryl Hines makes this show unwatchable See more Read all reviews
