Watch options. Storyline Edit. He's got it all: a loving wife, good friends, a successful career, a great home Seinfeld co-creator Larry David stars as himself in this hilarious, off-kilter comedy series that presents an unflinching, self-deprecating depiction of his life.

Deep inside you know you're him. Did you know Edit. He repeatedly professed his innocence, and asked to take a polygraph test, a request that the police denied note: polygraph tests aren't admissible in court. The episode begins with Larry discovering that someone has broken into his house, tried to flee the scene, fell, and hit their head, and now Larry has a dead body floating in his pool, almost like a cringe comedy take on Sunset Blvd.

But this theme of growing older continues through the episode, especially during a dinner party, when Susie Susie Essman plops down on the couch next to Larry, causing him to spill wine all over a couch.

Even Larry is looking back on his life, as he and Jeff Jeff Garlin pitch a show to Netflix called Young Larry , in which a mids Larry David moves to New York with his Uncle Moe, as he tries to start his standup career, while also trying to cause premature death in his uncle, so he can inherit the money that will be left to him when he dies.

Much like the musical Fatwa! You also said you assumed Biden would win the presidency. Does that mean Curb gets less or more political this year? When we came back for season nine after being gone for six years, the first day of shooting was the day Trump won. Then, the first day of shooting on season 11 was actually Election Day We had done some stuff on the show last year, like when Larry wore the MAGA hat out of social obligations.

In the premiere, we had to take one more crack at Trump [with the Don Jr. This season, Larry is going to get more politically involved on a local level, which I think is the kind of grassroots change we can all get behind. And we even address some issues of anti-Semitism and hate groups this year, as only Larry David can. We see the things that are around, we read the news.

And the first question in our head is always: Well, what would Larry do? That comes later in the season. At the premiere, you shared some anecdotes about your days working virtually on the season. How would you describe working with Larry David during lockdown?

One of the greatest compliments I can give Larry is that he has no charge anxiety. He is the same carefree person at 3 percent charge that he is at 80 percent charge. I would be a wreck. But he just blithely goes through life and when the device shuts down, it shuts down. So things took a little longer this season to write, but we also had the time because there was literally nothing else to do and nowhere else to go. I think he very much enjoyed the lack of obligations, as we all did.

We were in our natural state of no obligations. It was great. It just seemed so obvious. But we did still want to tackle it. There are a few other little things like that. We almost killed off a former guest star by saying he was such a stubborn idiot that he refused to wear a mask and got COVID and died. But he knows, and he was happy to not get killed off. You asked about if we made the right choice. COVID is in our rearview mirror and we touch on it in an interesting way.

Everyone has issues with toasting behavior. Our issues are completely relatable. Everyone sees what Larry is doing, telling people off or being indignant about things, as wish-fulfillment. In fact, even Larry David sees it as wish-fulfillment. I think Larry, many, many years ago, was vaccinated against learning.

So, it did not change him at all. Larry has other problems in this first episode! Other than that, he was fairly prescient! Or he was explaining the virtues of stay-at-home orders on behalf of the State of California.

As the coronavirus started to spread, one could argue Larry David was the first face of the pandemic — the curmudgeonly source of comfort for so many uneasy Americans, still searching for smiles in increasingly difficult times.

His life is one of glorious hypocrisies and picked-apart social customs, revolving around relatable minutiae instead of being dominated by topical universality. Just look at one of the early gut laughs of Episode 1.
