You've never seen Arrested Development before?
You've made a huge mistake.

I felt like every episode got better than the last episode and hit it's peak at Episode 11(Gob#2). Went downhill from there with the focus on George Michael but the Buster and Maeby episodes were still good. Overall I enjoyed it greatly. Hello darkness my old friend.

 

The first six episodes were good, but a lot of it was overwhelming and a tad confusing, timeline wise. Episode 7 was when it all started to click for me, and the subsequent episodes also had similar clicks. Episode 11 was my favorite, after my first watch.

The season will only get better during the many many rewatches I will do, so I predict I will appreciate the first six episodes a lot more then.

I loved the format, it left me wondering, and it gave me so many 'aha!' moments. There was a lot of depth to it, and I'm already looking forward to rewatching it.

Highlights for me were 'The Sound of Silence', Tony Wonder, Isla Fisher, young! Lucille and George Sr, the Social Network jokes, George Michael kissing, Lucille making puns, and all of the times that another Bluth family member was in a scene without you realizing it. And the ostrich.

I was disappointed with Maeby's plotline in particular, however. I had high hopes for her.

 

Looks like Arrested Development is back - again! 17 episode Season 5 to come to Netflix

I never did get around to finishing season 4. I just didn't like the format. Hopefully season 5 will be more like the first 3 seasons.
