William Earl administrator SPOILER ALERT: This article discusses plot points from the series finale of “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” After nearly 25 years of Larry David‘s disagreements, feuds and outbursts, “Curb Your Enthusiasm” aired its final episode on Sunday. The appropriately-named “No Lessons Learned” — the 10th episode of Season 12 — wrapped up a season-long arc that started when Larry was arrested in Atlanta for giving water to Auntie Rae (Ellia English) while she was in line to vote, violating local law.
Through the season, he became something of a pop culture hero for doing the right thing, even though had no idea he was breaking any law, let alone making any sort of statement. Of course, Larry’s entourage heads to Atlanta for the trial, including Cheryl (Cheryl Hines) and Ted Danson (playing himself), Jeff (Jeff Garlin) and Susie (Susie Essman), and Leon (J.
B. Smoove) and Richard Lewis (playing himself).
Richard headed to Atlanta early to meet up with his old flame Cynthia (Allison Janney), who of course alienates Larry before even meeting him when she won’t let his car into her lane on the highway and gives him the finger. As the trial begins, Larry and his lawyer Sibby Sanders (Sanaa Lathan) brace for a tough battle against district attorney Earl Mack (Greg Kinnear) in the courtroom of Judge Whittaker (Dean Norris).
Yet Larry is obsessed with more pressing issues such as the lack of coasters in court, Ted’s protest of the Election Integrity Act as a move to steal the spotlight, and his belief that Cynthia is lying about a suicide attempt. In Earl’s opening statement, he says, “Larry David does not respect the law” and proceeds to make his case by calling several of Larry’s key nemeses through the years to the

‘Hapless,’ new series on Peacock, has ‘Curb’ appeal: review
“Curb Your Enthusiasm” ended its storied run on HBO.That’s because “Hapless,” premiering April 10 on Peacock, is extremely similar in tone and context to “Curb,” with a few exceptions — and is even described as a “cringe comedy” a la Larry David’s masterpiece.Season 1 of “Hapless” streamed very briefly on Prime Video in early 2020 (under the title “The Jewish Enquirer”) and is getting a shot now on Peacock (Seasons 1 and 2), hoping to fill the void left in the wake of “Curb’s” final episode, which aired April 7. The series was created, written and directed by Gary Sinyor; unlike Larry David on “Curb,” our “Hapless” series protagonist/antagonist Paul Green (Tim Downie, “Outlander”) isn’t a celebrity playing an exaggerated version of himself — he’s a reporter for The Jewish Enquirer, described as the “4th biggest Jewish publication” in the UK, who finds himself in awkward situations, most of them of his own making.

How ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ ended with a ‘Seinfeld’ twist
“Curb Your Enthusiasm.” At the end of the HBO comedy, titled “No Lessons Learned,” the show — which aired for 12 seasons, from 2000 to 2024 — circled back to the plot line that began when Larry was arrested in Atlanta for giving water to Auntie Rae (Ellia English) while she was standing on line to vote.

In the spirit of the show, he had been unaware that he was breaking any law, and he hadn’t intended for the gesture to be a grand statement.
