11/19/2022 0 Comments Curb your enthusiasm season 7 cast![]() ![]() Anyone who has seen a single episode of Curb will know exactly what’s coming next, or at least the general shape of it, and you can’t help but miss that sneakily genius sense of everything fitting together perfectly by the end. If any of this was furthering the main plot it could be justified a little easier, but since “IRASSHAIMASE!” has absolutely nothing to do with Young Larry – it doesn’t even get a passing reference – it’s the kind of episode that needed to be funny and smart enough on its own terms. ![]() And there’s definitely some payoff, particularly Hal sabotaging Larry’s second date with Gabby, but it was undermined anyway due to the fact that Gabby had already been exposed as a tattletale (her whole date “thing” is swapping secrets which she then reveals – Larry’s is a shortcut through the valley because of course it is.) Freddy’s revenge on Larry for the shirt situation is weirdly mean-spirited, and a whole bit about the restaurant holding Larry’s umbrella hostage doesn’t really amount to much. Audience Reviews for Curb Your Enthusiasm: Season 7 I get that the show needed & tried to be more inclusive but the black family living in the lead actor's house for free forever isn. Everyone has great chemistry, and some of the back-and-forth dialogue – especially Larry, Jeff, and Freddy laughingly debating whether or not Hal slept with his mother-in-law – is funny in the way Curb always is. ![]() When he eventually gets soy sauce on Freddy’s shirt, it becomes a typical matter of “how does Larry deal with this awkward situation given his own neuroses?” There’s even a minor scene out of nowhere in which Larry gatecrashes Jeff’s house to sample his TV and gets into an argument with Susie about it that feels as if it’s there just to kill time – a 35-minute episode shouldn’t have any spare. We’ve seen Larry having awkward dates and getting into arguments with restaurant staff before. The main problem with all this, I suppose, is that none of it feels new. ![]()
