Although I was a happy camper last week because Ten is the best of Curb’s post-hiatus seasons, my criticisms of the new era remain and are accelerating. In brief, it simply feels like the show has to try harder to continue offering what once came more naturally. Beyond just cumbersome episodic ideas that are basically comedic but far less believable, affiliated to aspects of the situation, or even well-motivated by Larry’s nevertheless central characterization, Eleven suffers from an overarching narrative framework that does it no favors. Well, let me clarify — I think the idea of Larry doing a show called Young Larry about his childhood is actually a great reminder of his background and the showbiz industry in which his character uniquely exists, thereby affirming the situation and granting individual stories a sturdier and more specifically Curb foundation.
