What is Curb Your Enthusiasm about?

The series follows Seinfeld writer Larry David, who plays as a fictionalised version of himself. It presents his life as a semi-retired television writer and producer who lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Cheryl (Cheryl Hines), his best friend and manager, Jeff (Jeff Garlin), and Jeff’s wife, Susie (Susie Essman).
