More like a series of awkward moments
19 April 2020
In the spirit of "A show about nothing" it looks like Seinfeld has actually tried to do that and ended up with a series of lacklustre meets. There are one or two interesting and engaging episodes BUT ONLY BECAUSE OF THE GUEST - NOT THE HOST! The continual references to this bygone or that bygone have become a get out for a boring, often depressed guest and Seinfelds attempts at impromptu laughs mostly bomb and are often awkward revealing a very poorly grounded and uneven rightish wing stance which he clumsily covers up with a "but everything is humor" philosophy. So much so that It's nauseating at times. The whole thing is basically one giant rich man's mid life crises. Its a shame because the "Seinfeld" series is still pretty fresh and relevant to today's world. But as in life - you're only as good as your last gig.
