I am so excited to see Tracey Ullman on this show. Such a comedic genius and such a detailed and low key performance. I love it. I just hope that there is a way to keep her as a recurring character. Larry taking an interest in the small-minded hypocrisy of municipal politics is a great addition to the show. I love that she is adjusting her bra too. Why is that okay for dudes but not considered decent for women to do. Makes not sense to me. Men can adjust their genitals but a woman adjusting her bra is gross? Such a double standard. Love that they included that detail.
