Curb Your Enthusiasm has been going for 22 years now, and the 11th season has just recently wrapped up. It was far from the best season but far from the worst too. Now that it's over, a select few fans think they're starting to see some wear and tear. For a show that goes on for as long as Curb has, there's undoubtedly going to be dips in quality, but the HBO show does such a great job of keeping fresh with its guest stars and complex intertwining narratives.

However, between believing that the guest stars aren't that good, that the episode runtimes are too long, and that the season-long story arc was weird, there are a lot of fans with some hot takes on the season — and others who sing the season's praises a little too much.

It's No Longer Clever

Curb Your Enthusiasm has always had the reputation for being one of the cleverest shows on TV. Every episode features several storylines that all intertwine by the end, usually in a way that comes back to haunt Larry. But MwahMwahKitteh thinks season 11 isn't as clever as the series once was.

The Redditor compares it to "that scene from The Simpsons where Grandpa Simpson is writing complaint editorials to newspapers on the typewriter, but not even funny," referring to Larry's predictable tirades. But though each season has seen Larry with less of a filter and his rants have become more frequent, it doesn't mean the show has forgone the clever plotlines. Season 11 still features one of the smartest season arcs yet, as Larry needs to convince a councilwoman to repeal a law.

The Episode Endings Aren't As Good

As the best Curb episodes usually end with Larry climbing out of a window to avoid an angry mob, Paxtonlynch18 is disappointed with season 11's endings. The Redditor reckons that "the endings of the episodes don’t hit like they used to."

But if anything, the episode endings in season 11 harken back to classic Curb more than seasons 9 and 10. "Irma Kostroski" literally ends with an angry mob chasing Larry when they find out he didn't vote, and "Man Fights Tiny Woman" ends with a chiropractor trying to convert Larry into a Jew for Jesus.

The Finale Is An Instant Classic

The finale has its moments, and it features some of the funniest jokes of the season too. But as the Curb season finales usually satisfyingly wrap up the season-long arcs, the season 11 finale was a letdown amongst fans. While Philrask mentions that the "Mormon polygamy bit had me dying," which was a classic Curb bit, hardly any of the season-long plotlines were wrapped up.

The whole Maria Sofia plotline, where she's the terrible lead actress in Young Larry, wasn't paid off, and the whole state of Young Larry is still up in the air. However, as this is the only time when Curb hasn't satisfyingly wrapped up every plotline, it could be the first arc that spans over two seasons...

The Show Should Be Cancelled Now Season 11 Has Finished

A select few fans have been calling for the cancelation of the show for years now, as some think the quality dropped off in season 9, and others didn't like where season 10 was headed. And now, one Redditor wants the show to end now that season 11 has finished. They argue that they "feel like the show doesn’t need to be made anymore, and it’s showing." and that's even coming from somebody who enjoyed season 10.

The Redditor cites the increased focus on cinematography as one of the show's turn-offs. But while the grainy quality was part of its original appeal, the increase in production quality is only natural. The show isn't exactly going to be shot on the same cameras that were used 22 years ago.

Irma And Larry Make A Good Couple

Two main storylines run alongside each other in season 11. One of them is the production of Young Larry, which is a Curb project fans want to see in real life. The other is Larry's attempt to seduce councilwoman Irma Kostroski so he can convince her to repeal a law that could send him to prison. Being one of the funniest hot takes about the season is that Irma, the grotesque councilwoman, and Larry make a good couple.

It does break the Curb mold, which is how Larry always seemingly dates women at least 25+ years younger than him. This is more realistic, and Shash1420 makes the hilarious observation that it's "ironic," but in reality, Larry hates Irma so much that he will do anything to avoid her and not have sex with her.

The Longer-Than-Usual Episodes Are Too Much

The typical length for a Curb episode is around the 30-minute mark, which is still longer than most sitcoms, as others are more like 22 minutes without commercials. But for many of the season 11 episodes, they have been closer to the 40-minute mark, and sometimes even longer.

Reddit user Nuahs thinks those lengths are far too long for the HBO comedy, claiming that they're "just waiting for the episode to be over." But given that most of the scenes are largely improvised, it's a testament to how all of the recurring characters and guest stars are at the top of their game, as there's so much of it in season 11.

Albert Brooks Didn't Fit In

Curb is known for its brilliant guest stars, whether it's Ben Stiller playing himself or Melissa McCarthy playing a salesperson in a toy store. The first major guest star of season 11 is Albert Brooks, but TheOwlsLie is a little critical of the famous actor and director.

The Redditor posits that Brooks "really felt out of place and, for some reason, didn’t fit in with the rest of the cast." However, he had some of the funniest moments in the first episode, such as trying to convince Leon to watch his movies. And at the very least, his arc of hosting a fake funeral for himself and then being revealed to be a COVID hoarder is one of the best of the season.

Jon Hamm Was The Only Good Guest Star

Jon Hamm is back by popular demand, or at least it seems that way, as he was easily one of the fan-favorite guest stars of season 10. And in season 11, he returns to give a eulogy at Brooks's fake funeral. Rockyrock1221 thinks that Hamm was the only decent guest star, claiming that "none of the guest stars were funny at all besides Hamm."

But season 11 sported some of the most famous faces the show has ever seen, such as Seth Rogen and Josh Gad, and those are both in one episode. Curb season 11 has many great guest appearances, and who doesn't want to see Woody Harrelson making fun of himself as a dairy shamer?

Episode 6 Was Odd

"Man Fights Tiny Woman," the episode in which both Seth Rogen and Josh Gad appear, is one of the funniest episodes of season 11. It sports some huge guest stars, has such an intricate, multi-stranded narrative, and sees Larry fighting with a woman on several occasions. It's Curb at its absolute peak, but TheresA_LobsterLoose thinks it was all a bit odd.

The Redditor thinks that "every [monologue] felt like watching a live improv show." But that's essentially what the show is. Curb's unique selling point is that there's no screenplay and that each scene has a brief outline, and actors improvise their way to where the scene needs to end. And as Gad plays a chiropractor, "Man Fights Tiny Woman" has become one of Curb's best doctor episodes.

The Irma Narrative Is Weak

Irma, played by another guest star, Tracy Ullman, is ingenious. There hasn't been a Curb guest character more developed than Irma, and Ullman threw herself into the role. But RobulousDee wasn't a fan of the way she was used in the narrative, arguing that "for a show with such sharp writing and generally clever premises, it seems pretty weak."

However, it was a great move to make Irma a regular character in the final few episodes, elevating the role to more than just a one-off guest feature. It was so much fun to see her interact with Larry and even with Leon. Hopefully, it isn't the last fans have seen of Irma, and that she'll return in season 12.
