On Curb Your Enthusiasm, Larry Is Forever Going to Larry
HBO’s longest-running scripted series is going out exactly as it started: with more examples of petty behavior than you ever dreamed possible.
In the half-hour premiere, “Atlanta,” Larry curses out Siri, gets mad at an emotional-support corgi, offends a housekeeper for what won’t be the last time this season, and fails to fulfill a contractual obligation to show up to a party and simply be cordial to the guests. Near the end of “Atlanta,” Larry gets taken into police custody for giving a bottle of water to his friend Leon’s Auntie Rae while she stands in line at a polling place, a reference to an actual Georgia election law that was only partially struck down last summer. Attempts at “timely” humor — a Giuliani hair-dye joke, an uncomfortable exchange with a trans man whom Larry knew before he transitioned, and a guest star I cannot reveal but whose presence will certainly spark conversation — feel forced and fall flat.
