@Stuart.T:

@neph93 I was a big fan of the comic book and still have a mint run of the books, archived, like the geek I am. Like most literary fans comment on cinematic adaptations, I'm not sold on the tv series really. The production values aren't quite there I don't think.

Read all the comic books myself. So far it’s one of the better adaptions for me. I find the production values satisfactory, but the story telling is a little sedate.

@neph93:

That’s why Curb is better. David is a complete A-hole, but everyone else in the show knows it.

Idk… I feel like Larry David is everyone's inner voice of truth, lol! There's hasn't been a single moment yet where I don't feel like he's speaking from MY heart, lmao!

[neph93]

Your inner voice of truth is an a-hole [emoji23]

George was Larry David btw… Check the ep with the tucked in sheets, for example...

I'm currently downloading s01 and 02 of INTELLIGENCE (Canada)... Finally found a 720p rip w/ subs... One of the best series ever made...

Sounds plausible, lol

@UnTucked:

I'll admit, I'm interested in catching a few episodes to see how it is… I recently discovered Curb (Maybe 2 months ago..... I had never even heard of it before then), and Larry David is freakin' HILARIOUS!

Larry David is every single one of the Seinfeld characters in one person. You’ll
Like it.

counterpart is cool

unique premise, cool adult characters.

slow in some parts but i like the development and the pacing makes sense all things considered

ATLANTA's back… First ep was gold...

[madmonday]

^  agreed with you for once about something

the florida-man bit is priceless

the program will get the credit it deserves in another 10 years when folks catch on to all the layers, plus it's not easy to put it in a box as a comedy or drama or any of that crap

Darius… When he started talking about the Florida man... Knowing how much weird, seriously weird shit happens in Fl… Just perfect...

Random: had a very, outrageously weird customer at work earlier this week… Dressed in all black, headset, socially incapable of anything... Remember: we're in Belgium, yeah... Guess where he had lived, guess where he couldn't wait to move to again... FLORIDA...

[madmonday]

hahahaha

it sounds like the 2 of you got on outrageously

do you recall what the florida-man purchased in your shop?

daRius is my current favorite person on the show

Just catching up on this thread

Absolutely loved Seinfeld at the time and still now. But never watched a single episode of curb. Perhaps I need to give it go.

Also love spotting Jerry’s Nike’s in the show. He wore some fire over the years.

Curb is arguably better… big argument. Big one.

If you like Larry David “Clear History” is an absolute must

New TOP GEAR is excellent… Ep2 especially...

Good retrospective article about The Wire seeing as it's been mentioned a few times here recently…

Good retrospective article about The Wire…

Screw that… Get the 581 page book by Rafael Alvarez (The Wire writer)... Contributions by Simon and Pelecanos, so you know its legit... It even has a fold-out MAP of key locations in the back!..
