The Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling (2018)

Judd Apatow's portrait draws on Garry Shandling's own journals, private letters and home video, so you get his thinking in his own hand: notes to himself about honesty, ego and what makes a joke true, alongside interviews with nearly four dozen friends, family and colleagues. It is long and often more sad than funny. But for anyone who loved It's Garry Shandling's Show or The Larry Sanders Show, it explains how one restless mind shaped TV comedy and the people who made it.
