Larry David: Curb Your Enthusiasm (Neon)

Here's some pretty, pretty, pretty good news; Neon has just landed Larry David: Curb Your Enthusiasm. This one-hour comedy special is the precursor to his brilliant series of the same name. In a lot of ways, you can consider it a pilot or a proof of concept. It's largely the same, following a fictionalised version of David as he adjusts to life post-Seinfeld, although the mockumentary aspect is larger here than in the series. This was previously only available as a bonus feature on the season one DVD so to see where the Curb phenomenon began, point your clicker to Neon.
Its mix of heart, humour, drama, action and romance made The O.C. one of the most popular TV dramas of all time. The show's set in the idyllic paradise of Orange County, Southern California, a wealthy coastal community where everything and everyone appears to be perfect but, in true drama fashion, everything is not what it seems. Beneath the very expensive surface lies a world of shifting loyalties and identities. Drama addicts can take a trip down memory lane and reunite with their favourite 2000s heart-throbs, including Mischa Barton, Rachel Bilson, Ben McKenzie and Adam Brody. All four seasons are available to binge right now.
The Girlfriend Experience (Lightbox)
The Girlfriend Experience.
Christine, a young law student, finds herself tempted by a new life in the world of "transactional relationships". She joins a group of women who provide the titular "Girlfriend Experience" providing an emotional and sexual relationship at a very high price to men after something more substantial than just getting jiggy with it. Juggling two very different lives, Christine quickly finds herself entangled in an ever-broadening web of intrigue and betrayal. Produced by movie director Steven Soderbergh (Ocean's Eleven, Logan Lucky) the show's been dubbed "compulsive viewing", which you can compulsively view now on Lightbox.
