      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      In its final season, the cynical show about nothing goes out defiantly on its own terms -- even if means alienating fans who may have wanted things to end differently.

      Rebecca Rose Financial Times The jokes are still razor-sharp, undimmed, even on second, third or fourth viewing. Feb 10, 2021 Full Review Phil Gallo Variety While the characters of Kramer and Newman zoom into a pole position for spinoffs, the rest of this once-glorious comedy still has the schtick-shift stuck in second gear. Aug 26, 2019 Full Review John Carman San Francisco Chronicle Seinfeld parted in the same spirit it maintained for nine seasons on NBC. It was dry-eyed and jaded to the end, even as it bowed ever so slightly to a smidgen of sentiment. Aug 26, 2019 Full Review Brett White Decider As an episode of Seinfeld, "The Finale" is too big, with a network meeting and a private plane and a long courtroom scene, and it's nothing like the mundane farce the show was during its best seasons. Aug 26, 2019 Full Review Colin McCormick Screen Rant The show was still one of the funniest things on television, but some of the magic had started to fade. Aug 26, 2019 Full Review Irina Curovic Screen Rant Depending on whom you ask, it's either a stroke of genius or the biggest disappointment. Though a bit uneven, season nine certainly had its highs.

      Nicholas T Season 9 was perfect. My favorite episode is The Slicer. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/10/24 Full Review mark g For my my money, the best season. Wild and creative! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/01/24 Full Review Joel P …the final episode didn't do this great show justice, sorry. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/24/23 Full Review Chris M Greatest sitcom ever Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/13/23 Full Review Hemant S For those who are ardent fans of this classic sitcom, enough said. And for the rest, this might be an artifact well worth exploring for their regular dosage of humor. Spanning from 1989 to 1998 with a season each year, "Seinfeld" was and is a comedy in its own niche and possibly ahead of its time with its boldness. Centering on Jerry Seinfeld's semi-fictionalized life as a stand-up comedian trying to break out into television, the comedy is well spread around his three friends George, Elaine and Kramer who are funny in their own flavors. George being the balding and miserly bestie, Elaine – the ex that sticks around as a bud, but with a remnant (s)ex-ual tension and Kramer, the neighbor who is more elastic than Jim Carrey and seems to know more about the world than any one. The humor, both in the stand-up bits and amongst the four friends is quite hilarious and no-holds barred, but yet harmless which is what is admirable to watch in this age and time. Ironically a lot of the topics in Jerry's stand-up material are still relevant and ring a loud bell in the present day. A live audience in the studio shots, mainly at Jerry's home are a character in itself – especially as they give a rousing welcome whenever Kramer enters the scene. Kramer, played by Michael Richards, is my favorite character and is so well acted by Richards physically and verbally. A certain incident gone awry at a stand-up performance by him in 2006, well after "Seinfeld" wrapped up made him step down from his stand-up career. Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Elaine and Jason Alexander as the other essential and colorful blocks in this crazy show are a mouthful of laughs, both actors still in the fray – Louis-Dreyfus prominently in and as "VEEP" and now potentially in the Marvel Universe, and Alexander with his appearances in "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel". Seinfeld himself is the creator of the show along with Larry David and marched on after the show to star in the "Bee Movie" (2007) and the much famous "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee", first aired in 2012 and staggered up until the pandemic started in 2019. He leads the comedian team with perfect timing. A real textbook for stand-up comedy, comedy acts and generally humor, this was a show carried by some underrated champs and deserves attention in these bleak times when laughter is a great remedy. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/25/23 Full Review StephenPaul C LOL, the funniest final 25 episodes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
