Vita da Carlo (Life As Carlo) is the newish Italian comedy series I discovered on Amazon Prime while searching for something that would make me laugh. Gosh, with the virus spiking and hospital beds overflowing, I was desperately seeking an infectious comedy. This one fits the bill!

If you like the offbeat humor of HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm and Seinfeld on Netflix, you’ll want to binge on this ten-episode, original series streaming now on Amazon Prime. Filmed in Rome, in Italian with English subtitles, it was released in early November without too much fanfare. Vita da Carlo is witty, irreverent, and contemporary.
