About
"One brilliant grump, seven riffs on New York"
A loose, freewheeling conversation series in which writer and professional curmudgeon Fran Lebowitz holds forth on New York City, technology, tourists, and the general decline of civilization as she sees it, all coaxed along by her longtime friend Martin Scorsese. There's no plot and no arc, just a whip-smart talker riffing across seven short episodes filmed around empty city landmarks. It feels like eavesdropping on the funniest, most opinionated dinner guest imaginable, and it lives or dies entirely on whether her voice makes you laugh.
Fran Lebowitz's rapid-fire, endlessly quotable rants delivered with perfect deadpan timing.
you need a plot, character growth, or anything beyond one person talking.
