It’s classic cranky Seinfeld, but there’s such a spring in his step as he moves about the stage, such a twinkle in his eye as his voice goes higher, to the point where he sounds like everyone’s not-good imitation of Jerry Seinfeld, that none of it comes across as angry. This is the comedy of joyful bemusement.

Helicopter sky-dive apart, there’s nothing daring about Seinfeld – but if 23 Hours to Kill is safe, it’s also, usually, sparkling.

Hopefully, our current sorry state as a civilization will have the luxury of getting back to laughing at these trivialities anew. And if not, we’ll always have these old Seinfeld-at-home-on-the-stage movies –on Netflix — to remember how it was back when self-seeking friends turned “picture bullies” were all we had to worry about, back when “dinner and a show” were totally a thing.

Watching Jerry Before Seinfeld may feel more comforting in this moment than watching 23 Hours To Kill. But whether you think he’s great or he sucks, well, you’re not far off from the truth, either way.

23 Hours to Kill is his first completely original special since 1998, but it’s not exactly cutting-edge stuff—it has a whole block of jokes about Pop-Tarts and frozen orange juice. Many viewers will find solace in that sameness.

Do I wish Seinfeld took a few more creative risks in “23 Hours to Kill”? Sure, but there’s also something comforting about a familiar style that could easily be cut up an inserted into a reboot of “Seinfeld”.

If you dug his brand of observational stand-up in the past, you might still like it today. If you consider yourself a true connoisseur of dad jokes, get ready for a feast. If you’ve always felt like Jerry Seinfeld was a parody of himself, and of an entire strand of stand-up that peaked during the Reagan years, then this might be a tough hour to get through.

A very funny special that sees Jerry Seinfeld’s discuss being older and technology in his famous Seinfeld manner. Of noticing little trivial details that affect our lives.

It's absolutely standard Jerry Seinfeld. He's old now, complaining about the same things he's always complained about. That same thing is people. All the jokes are only jokes because Seinfeld is delivering them, for the rest of us it's just conversations we've had with our parents/older people we know. If you want to put something on while you play Animal Crossing, it's totally great.
