thank goodness.this series is so different and refreshing…i enjoy the laid back talk as they have coffee and in so many different places all the time.I do wish the interviews over coffee were longer..it seems like i always feel like their interview was cut short ,thusly making me feel that i saw only a short clip of a star having coffee with seinfeld.no reason they can’t sit and have a few more cups of coffee.Am glad Netflix is taking this..nearly all of my tv shows have been canceled and in their last season..well..all of them except for one or two i guess…
