Never seen a single Seinfeld episode, so let's not even go there! Rewatching this one with the wifey also and man those Japanese subtitles are woeful as she sits there wondering why I am crying over Richard Splett! It is another show of fully despicable characters all around like the Sopranos but, again, Splett is pitch perfect in his unique role as the Swiftian naif who can only speak the truth and well, you have to watch until the finale to see how that goes for him! In fact I am going to rewatch the first scene in this compilation that made me almost me choke on my yogurt last night! youtu.be/IEq7TWExBtI?t=25

Had read great reviews of this back in the day but barely lasted 5 minutes of the first episode then flagged it.
Maybe I should give it another crack.
The main woman just does not tickle my funny bone though.
Don't think I ever watched a whole episode of Seinfeld either.
Fat lot of fucken good I am to this thread.
FFS.

It was created by Armando Ianucci, a Brit Scotsman - he wrote for Alan Partridge and Veep was similar to his show Thick of It. His new show, Avenue 5 has a lot of people I really like but it just didn't gel for me and I bailed after a few episodes. Maybe check out his recent movie (written by) The Death of Stalin:

We have numerous threads for hated tv shows.
It's fun to write about things you hate.
Vent the spleen.
Get it off your chest.
Put the boot in.
Good-o.
