Our Amazon Canada shipment arrived on Friday. (Fellow Kiwis, I will let you in on a secret: at the moment the Canadian dollar is very similar in value to the New Zealand dollar - yet Canadian DVDs are *much* cheaper, sometimes even half the price. The first series of The Office is $60NZ, but only about $30 Canadian. Well worth the shipping.) We watched some of Curb Your Enthusiasm, including my favourite Bob-Odenkirk-as-a-retired-porn-star episode, and noted what a deeply uncomfortable comedic experience the whole thing is. But the first episode of The Office knocks it sideways on the uncomfortable scale. The sheer horror of it drains me. Why do I love it so?
