( Reid Scott), Young Larry is without a home. By the end of only the second episode, Young Larry has cast a terrible actress in a primary role, lost the potential star power of Dylan O’Brien, and after an argument with Netflix executive Don Winston Jr.
For example, like the Seinfeld reunion of Season 7, the Fatwa! musical of Season 9, or the spite store of Season 10, this season’s big arc certainly seems it will come in the form of the Young Larry series that already seems doomed.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly about Curb Your Enthusiasm's 11th season, showrunner Jeff Schaffer said of the beginning of the season, “There are lots of disparate threads that don’t seem to have anything in common at the start of the season, but they’re all going to knit together in the end to make an exquisite petty shame blanket.” Yet between the first episode of the season, “The Five Foot Fence,” and this second episode, “Angel Muffin,” we're starting to see a pattern of what the through lines of this season will be, and especially with this second episode, we continue to see just how brilliant Schaffer and Larry David are at interweaving stories that seemingly have nothing to do with each other.īetween these first two episodes of the season, we can start to get an idea of what to expect this season.
