Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 11 Episode 5 Review: The Season's First Miss

As recent seasons of Curb Your Enthusiasm have become about telling a larger overarching story, there’s something special about a good standalone episode. Every episode this season has in some way related to the creation of Larry David’s new show Young Larry, but this week’s “IRASSHAIMASE!” completely disregards the larger story in order to tell a simpler episode that - as of right now - doesn’t tie into the bigger picture. While it’s nice to see a stand-alone episode of Curb every once in a while, “IRASSHAIMASE!” is the weakest episode so far in Season 11.
