Great but do you have to subscribe to hbo to see this then?

I loved curb and of course watched seinfeld in the 90s.

As well as subscribing you have to be based in the USA.

However, I believe Sky has the rights to HBO content in the UK.

Based on past experience, I would expect this to air on Sky Comedy quite soon after its US broadcast.

Does it star the talentless daughter of a Mexican food outlet?

Do you need Sky (appropriate dish and box) for that or can you get it online?

You can get Sky Documentaries by subscribing to nowtv for a month, or take a 7 day free trial.

I might have to try that. Do you know if you can watch the recent season of Curb through Sky/Now as well? I haven't seen it yet, but really want to. I'm in the UK.

So, I was going to ask if this actually aired as I couldn't find any record of it or of future airings on the Sky website or planner.

However, a quick Google brings up the below which is somewhat troubling - looks like David is trying to control the narrative.

Doesn't sound quite so appealing now even though the original documentary would probably have been a sanitised affair anyway.

For anyone who may have wondered why this documentary never aired (it was pulled the day before broadcast at the behest of Larry David), the director Larry Charles has revealed why whilst on a tour for his new book - video below for anyone interested.
