Is it for me?
Curb Your Enthusiasm devotees who want pure grievance with no plot to follow will be happy here. Larry David carries the same rule-policing and complaining into every era.

Before you start
Each episode is a run of separate historical sketches, so you can watch them in any order and stop whenever you have had enough.
