On the plus side I like all 4 of the central characters and it's not too focussed on Seinfeld with the laughs being split fairly evenly. Overall I don't think it's anywhere near as good as the likes of Friends, Frasier or The American Office, but it is better than a lot of other so called comedies that also got huge ratings (eg Schitt's Creek).

The stand up gags and takes are Confusedabsolutely woeful. Id be looking for my money back if i attended one of his gigs unless they were funny 30 years ago. 

But outside of that and yes, the overuse of the bass, i think it's a great show with brilliant, bizarre characters.

They are incredibly selfish but ultimately they care about each other. I do laugh though at the enjoyment they get from each other's misfortune

I think the whole point of the show is that you don’t like them.  The show is basically showing they are are selfish characters who only think of themselves.

I think Seinfeld is excellent but it’s the type of show that will not be universally popular.  It’s not for everyone the same way Frazier or Curb you Enthusiasm isn’t either.  

Watching us office at the moment and it’s brilliant.  Skipped 1st season as it’s just a rehash of the uk one.

Same, the stand-up bits are brutal and the background laughter just remind you of friends.

Don't think I'll be trying another episode.

People don't talk enough about how pathetic Larry David's public rant towards Alan Dershowitz was.

He doesn't care about Dershowitz representing a pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein. He doesn't care about Dershowitz having sex with children.

But being friends with Donald Trump is where he draws the line!

Says it all about the complete and utter fantasy world these people do be living in. 

But, then again, look who we're talking about - someone whose idol is Woody Allen.

I'd watch an episode here and there when it was on tv and always enjoyed it but never followed a whole series. Might set that right during the winter Thumbs Up
It would damage this forums' reputation

Way late to the party. Never gave it time when it was on tv originally and with the re runs but it has landed on Netflix and ive been milling through the episodes. Brilliant show. Nothing really happens but yet it is brilliantly done. Love how petty and childish the characters are. Just into Season 2 and the bit part characters are entering the fray. George LOLClap

Funny , I was scrolling through Netflix last night and stumbled across it , didn’t know it was on it - great show 

Now if they could only get Larry sanders as well
