Outraged Larry David delights me on a second-by-second basis.

Outraged Peggy and Pete Campbell are pretty great too. And the bad day-having director in Mulholland Drive. More closely the platonic Larry David is approached by a character the happier I am.

Yeah, I feel like they're absolutely trying to tell me that he's gay. I don't think I've ever seen any of it get resolved. I do remember the one moment where there is some loose end, basically, someone that there's no point not beating up horribly, and Duffy relaxes for like the first time in the series and says to whichever of the leads is with him in his Winnebago, hey, you want to have some fun? and I'm like, oh, yeah, right, you are for real one of the bad guys, I keep forgetting.

It's amazing how he enters the show as this scary guy, and then at some point I'm like, "and Wynn Duffy, hovering on the margins in a Winnebago....
