That's the point, at least that's how I took it. Even her friends don't know how to deal with her.

Why do people keep comparing this this to Curb/Larry David humor? It's nothing like it nor is it trying to be like it. It's more like a mix of Louie and Aubrey Plaza humor

Every show like this is self-indulgent. It's a matter of if the self is worth being indulged.
Heh. Not bad. She clearly has some chops. A little self-conscious maybe with all the millennial riffs, but still a promising start for a web-series. Obviously it's a bit easier for her to get exposure, but so what? Good on her for actually taking advantage of the opportunity and putting in the work. Her dad casts a pretty big shadow, so I'm sure it must've been a little bit intimidating, as well.
Please, tell us more.
I think the first two episodes are rather poor, and her friends are annoying. Remi herself is actually kind of insufferable there too. Watching it is actually really relatable if you've ever had a friend who has been devastated by a breakup. You want to be empathetic, but they are so obsessed over their ruined relationship that it's actively irritating. The problem is that when you're not consoling a friend and you're just watching an onscreen character complain, it kind of makes you want to stop watching.
Episodes 3 & 4 are actually really good. The only weak point was her getting in a fight over the music at the party. That felt like filler with no comedic payoff. Tight Vagina Melissa is such a funny nickname. Remi zooming in on her crotch in the Instagram photo cracks me up.

You met Larry David? You can't just drop that, tell the story
are you a hollywood rich kid too?
Yeah, I had to stop watching because of this.

More of, what's the message this show is trying to deliver.
Millenials live a vapid self absorbed existence. Ok got that. Knew that already, I am one. Now what's left? Pop culture references? What is this, Girls LA edition?
What made Curb so good is his constant consternation of the kind of shit displayed in this show. And a strong character identity.
Honestly, feels like she's been perhaps... dare I say indulged by others?
Like Rebecca Blacks "Friday" music video. This time its Larry David's daughter trying out the comedy genre.
And I'm left with the same thoughts with Larrys daughters show as I was after watching Rebecca Black's friday music video.
"Why on earth would you do that?!"
Ha, there's not a lot to tell. She was moving into the dorm, I was working on campus and helped a bit with that stuff (not just her specifically but freshmen in general). Students use these big laundry carts to load their furniture and other shit into the dorm rooms, she took a cart out but instead of returning it herself, LD brought it back. I hadn't seen him on campus yet -- and hadn't seen him in real life, period, until then -- so it was pretty surreal. We exchanged a few words but I really don't know what the fuck I said, I was barely breathing. :lol
nope, I have many loans.

Good timing. Finally caught up and finished the last season of Curb on Amazon Prime today. LD's daughter's series has a similar vibe. I just watched all 4 episodes and subscribed.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
No, she looks like Larry David. And it's a little disturbing.

You guys do know you're all millennials, right? Or are you doing a hipster thing where you are so much cooler than your own age and feel older?

That was.. fucking awful. I guess I'm just out of touch with what people want if there was anything of worth in that. Wowsers.

Yeah, it's Curb Your Enthusiasm for millennials. I'm from '80 so I can kinda relate to both
If you are from the 80s you ARE a millennial.

Then what's the problem? Envy anger I at least would understand, like I get pissed off watching sports drafts and seeing these kids being 5 years younger than me and bracing up to make millions and just generally being way more awesome than I could ever be. If that's not it, then what is it? It's not a rhetorical question or anything, I legit don't understand. Rich people shouldn't post about being rich? Because... Why?

I would assume because it's decadent and desperate, but that's my stance on social media in general so feel free to ignore this.

I think the show has a lot of good ideas, but the execution is totally off. Her delivery is flat and lacks any sort of rhythm. The cadence is very strange too.
I don't mind the fact that her life is almost entirely foreign to me. I mean, that's half the reason why Curb appealed to me. It's unapologetically about an absurdly wealthy man in showbiz who is friends with people I could never dream of meeting.

I thought it was pretty bad. Does it get any better after episode 1?

Yes. The first two episodes are the worst. They probably could have been good, but they are 1-2 minute jokes stretched into 6-8 minute shorts.
Episodes 3-4 are worth watching, though.

I liked the 3rd episode, I actually laughed in that one. The 4th's music felt bit like something out of Curb and the premise was much more along the lines of finding humor in the mundane.
But i do like Cazzie, I could watch an entire series of this character she's developing.

You're a big guy.
Yeah the music didn't work for me, it felt way too on the nose. But the whole idea of drone laws seemed like something Costanza would complain about.

I don't really mind rich people. Just some of the shit going on in Hollywood is borderline pro-eugenics.
Oh, so you're Larry Davids daughter, well of course you're going to have comedy chops despite not having any.
Seriously with this shit.
Well a lot of us in the thread found the show hilarious, soooooooooooooooooooo

I don't think eugenics means what you think it means
I don't think this is a Hollywood thing but just a human thing. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree and all that jazz.

It might not be, but in my mind it is, in my mind... it is.
Seriously? Ew and no just no.
I mean Conan o Briens dad was a... comedy legend I guess? Oh no wait, he was a doctor.
Larry Davids' dad... a clothing manufacturer. So maybe Larry should of gone into business making fucking skinny jeans.
Should've.

People posting pictures being hot as fuck or rich as fuck or just generally living an awesome as fuck life is being pro-eugenics? Or are you referring to other shit?
Ew what? People tend to think a child will have the same talents as their parents, this isn't exclusive to Hollywood and neither is it true but people still think it.

I liked it, would watch a Netflix series of. Bit of a rocky start, though Episode 3 was modern gold, Ep. 4 in 2nd place for me
Just like re: Seinfeld, the supporting cast outshines her the main char., but her deadpan creep is a bit of better acting than Seinfeld's own acting in Seinfeld was, IMO. I love it, personally
And noted reference to Seinfeld with the puffy jacket hitting

Yes and yes. It's very common for children to gain similar parental traits just from spending time in that environment. Not sure why you've taken such issue with the guys post.

What environment? Larrys upbringing that shaped his world outlook from his education, upbringing must be completely different to his daughters come on already.
Or you think just by being in sheer proximity to larry david you're just going to suddenly become funny.
What the heck is this bizzarro shit
