Chicago Sun-TimesDoug Elfman

"Curb" may be ridiculously silly, but, unlike "Extras," its shenanigans are inventive.

Hollywood ReporterRay Richmond

The show gets back to where it belongs: under Larry's expansive roof and inside his incessantly neurotic, disgracefully tactless and unerringly heartless skin.

It's a testament to Curb's cleverness that what's now rote--Larry offends, we cringe--can still be so surprising.

Arif A. gave it a10:
I am happy to describe this show as a dark, disturbing, vulgar, insensitive, paradoxical, unconventional, selfish, SEINFELD-ISH and all the other thing things that would look & feel offending in the real world. BUT ITS JUST GREAT TO WATCH ON THE SCREEN!! I just cant get enough.
