Larry David returns for a tenth season of HBO’s hilarious comedy, Curb Your Enthusiasm. Show Snob recaps the brand new shows.

Episode one of Curb Your Enthusiasm, season 10 begins with Larry and Leon walking in a shopping district; they discuss their skin colors along with other people’s. Larry breaks a selfie stick blocking his path and hands the phone end back to the very upset owner.

At the gym Larry meets Suzy’s pregnant friend, she wishes him a happy New Year but he bluntly replies that it’s too late. Then Larry asks why Randy needs to inform everyone that her husband is African-American. Subsequently, he suggests that she shouldn’t run in her condition, against a midwife’s advice.

A guy applying vigorous amounts of talcum powder isn’t offended when Larry asks him to be more conservative with the application, as he chokes. An unsurprised Leon understands Larry’s indignation but likes talc, himself, though he says it can be an irritant.
