Larry David Finally Fixes the Toilet, Floods HBO’s Headquarters. 5/5 Stars.
Let’s get one thing straight: If you’re watching Curb Your Enthusiasm in Season 10 because you expect character growth, heartfelt moments, or a protagonist who learns from his mistakes, you have committed a far worse social faux pas than using a handicapped parking spot when you’re just “running in for a sec.”
Season 10 is not a redemption arc. It’s an entrenchment arc. Larry David, now a divorced, semi-itinerant menace to society, has stopped trying to be likable. He’s embraced the chaos. And the result is the show’s most gleefully mean-spirited season since the Seinfeld finale.
Watching Larry navigate zoning laws, contractor lies, and a deliberately faulty toilet that only flushes into his enemy’s basement is a masterclass in petty engineering. The season’s MVP isn't a human—it’s a wall . Specifically, the wall between Latte Larry’s and the adjacent "Mocha Joe’s." When Larry discovers the wall is two inches onto his property, the resulting legal warfare is funnier than any punchline in the last five years of network sitcoms.
4.5 out of 5 "Pretty, pretty, pretty good" groans.
