It's not too late to correct this mistake.

I mean yes you're right, from a thematic standpoint it is about many other things. But I did have those thoughts while watching the new season: - Ah, l'd kind of forgotten that this show is largely about the lives of the mega-wealthy - This must be the oldest ensemble cast on television right now
Anyway, those aren't knocks, I truly do love this show

I guess I felt a need to challenge your description in case Joe thought "Oh it's a show about wealthy 70-year old, I'm out."
True most of the characters are wealthy septuagenarians -- though many non-wealthy people come into play via the plot lines -- but it's mostly just a show about Larry David and his ongoing obsession with the minutiae of social interactions/daily life. It's very much the same humor as Seinfeld, just in a different setting, without a laugh track, and otherwise unencumbered by the parameters of 90s network television.

The seasons are short enough that, depending on your binge rate, you could be caught up in a couple of weeks.
I started watching season 1 about 18 months ago or so. I'm about halfway through season 4 now.
As this glacial pace might suggest, I don't love it.
I like it OK most of the time but it doesn't really hit for me in the way that I'd hoped.

I love this idea and wish I got more out of the actual show, as I really enjoy (and in some respects relate to) Larry as a character.

This feels like a very uncool admission but I prefer Seinfeld and think that show arguably did that idea more enjoyably, at least for me.
