Another episode, another masterpiece
Already into it's 3rd series and 'Curb' is quickly establishing cult status. Each episode is a gem with Seinfeld co-creator Larry David finding himself in darkly hilarious and often ridiculous situations. These include: trying to move his mother's grave and getting embroiled with the gangster rapper Krazee Eyez Killa.

The lovely Keri Russell (best known for her long-running US series Felicity) plays Jenna, one of three waitresses at Joe's Diner, an old fashioned joint on some dusty southern road. In particular, the regulars cherish Jenna's pies, especially the daily special, which has a way of... Read more
