I love “Seinfeld.” As for the actual comedian Jerry Seinfeld, however it’s…complicated.
In most of his activities outside his eponymous classic sitcom (1989-1998), Seinfeld bemuses more than amuses me.
This ambivalence only obliquely affects my opinion of “Unfrosted,” Seinfeld’s recently-released feature-length Netflix comedy.
Still, I’ve always had the disquieting sense of Seinfeld somehow always Getting Away With Something when he pulls off this suave, impeccably creased act.
Seinfeld isn’t about unsettling his viewers and I’m in no way suggesting he should be.
