[Netflix] A love letter to New York from a critical perspective. These conversations between Fran Lebowitz and Martin Scorsese, which continue the documentary "Public speaking" (HBO, 2010), reel off diverse topics with a sense of humor. You could say that it is a snobbish, old-fashioned and curmudgeon look, but that is precisely one of the virtues of Lebowitz's words. And, above all, it is a chronicle of cultural life in a magical and dark city.

HER MIND. public figures really aren’t quick or fascinating like this anymore. everyone’s too busy making boring content and influencing the bland masses yuck lol. like forget relatability, bring back cultural commentators who know what the fuck they’re talking about and are arrogant about it. that’s real tv baby.

Absolutely loved this. This is just _Public Speaking_ but much bigger. Scorsese's direction here is also much more interesting, it certainly gives Ellen Kuras more to work with. I think the presentation of this docu-series was really neat. But of course the focus is Fran Lebowitz, and she's a riot. Hearing her speak about other people in New York has kind of made me more self-conscious about how I act when I'm in the city. I'm not sure if most people would like this. I would check out _Public Speaking_ first to see if you like Fran Lebowitz's speaking and personality. If you do definitely see this series, it's just a bigger and longer version of that and it's brilliant.

Fran Lebowitz's witty words and Martin Scorsese's girly giggles are priceless.
