I am a recent convert to the iconic TV show Curb Your Enthusiasm. I have loved every episode of series 12. I am feeling sad at the idea that this is the last series, especially as I am such a latecomer to this work of comic genius.
There are lots of therapy references and story lines in this series. A couple of the characters are regularly in AA including his girlfriend and best friend.
In one episode he even goes to couples therapy.
But the show has a great deal in common with psychotherapy. The actors only know the skeleton of the story, and trust their unconscious to come up with the material. The method of improvising is fancily termed retro-scripting.
It gives the story line and dialogue a particularly alive quality.
It is also very funny in my opinion
In the weekend papers I read that Larry is now a post normcore fashion icon. His look is apparently quiet luxury. Or Hollywood Communist according to the Guardian.
Maybe I am trying to unconsciously emulate him? I have a fluffy white therapy dog, and I sometimes wear a frown and a blue blazer.
Apparently his dad was in the textile business and passed on something to Larry. Larry says he has one interesting / good item in each outfit. A bit like a good therapy session. Too much dazzle can be showing off! Overkill. One good/ interesting thought is plenty!
