    Nothing's really changed in this series. A few of the guests are kind of awkward as is Jerry occasionally. He's still aloof and thinks he knows everything about comedy and whatever else ends up being discussed. He's overall friendly and seems like he's easy to talk to though, so the show works despite that aspect of his personality. They often talk about their own insecurities andNothing's really changed in this series. A few of the guests are kind of awkward as is Jerry occasionally. He's still aloof and thinks he knows everything about comedy and whatever else ends up being discussed. He's overall friendly and seems like he's easy to talk to though, so the show works despite that aspect of his personality. They often talk about their own insecurities and struggles. The Zach Galifianakis episode is the standout since he is really just being himself, which actually is noticeably different than what most people think of him as from his comedic persona.

    As for negatives with the show, what is the deal with the over the top Lavazza product placement? It is really obvious and distracting and takes away some of the charm. The way the conversations are cut can be confusing as they'll suddenly be talking and you realize you have no idea what they are talking about or how they got there, then a minute later it happens again. Also, sometimes it's hard to hear what they're saying. I know that is more natural but perhaps they could improve that somehow. A few comments he made on the show make him sound out of date with social norms but I would not rush out to say he's intolerant or secretly right wing on social issues. I also think they should do better highlighting of the places they visit for their coffee unless that's intentional. There's a quick shot of the exterior as they're walking in and that's all you'll know about the place. To be honest, I think more of the show should be them driving around or even doing things. The coffee shop setting is kind of charming, but I enjoy the parts of the show where they're driving around more. Also, some of these user reviews are ridiculous. 0/10? Really?    … Expand

    The twelve new episodes are slightly snappier than earlier ones, which sometimes allowed silences to speak of easy companionship or productive awkwardness. But the fundamental structure abides: Jerry and his passenger drive around, hang out, grab a bite to eat, and enact a chummy discourse on topics ranging from the philosophy of humor to theories of everyday life. It’s nonnutritive, but it has some pep.

    A mostly uninspired new season.

    Usually, the conversations are entertaining or substantive enough to distract from that fact. But it’s harder this season--either because of Seinfeld himself, the times in which we are living, or some combination of the two--to overlook how out of touch the whole exercise, including Seinfeld, sometimes seems. No one would ever accuse Seinfeld of being woke, but there are times in Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee when he seems to be the anti-woke.
