Okay, it's been long enough, it's time to talk about why netflixs shoestring budgeted arrested development season sucked so bad. Here are my reasons: 1) character focused episodes didn't deliver hilarious set ups but long jokes with green screen payoffs 2) wtf were some characters green screened in?? See: courthouse scene with Tobias and the fonz 3) Lindsay's hair 4) too referential to season 1-3 5) let Michael become blatantly evil instead of dubious straightman Tl;dr s1-2 were really good, s3 slipped bad with continually breaking the fourth wall (why are "documentary" cameras filming sex scenes, cheating, and intent to lie in court rooms??) And they were really consistent about it early on too. Tobias and Lindsay had sex and the camera only caught their feet, and the first courtroom scene the cameras were banned Then they just said gently caress it here are some cousins kissing

Tobias episodes were legit funny, and the gags of different characters affecting plots that you may not have noticed in previous episodes were pretty funny, like three people simultaneously in India. It started out weak with the first few episodes, but Tony Wonder plot was pretty funny. Overall I'd rate it lower than the first three seasons, but I didn't think it was bad. Also, lol Michael was always borderline evil, he's the worst dad seasons 1-3. They just made it blatant now.

Name one show that's ever "come back" that's hasn't been irredeemable over self-referencing horse poo poo. Just hope they quietly let it die and don't try to make a fifth.

Arrested Developments humor really only fits in the time it came out and already feels really dated tbh.

They should have just made a movie. Every episode felt 15 minutes too long.

futurama season 2 all day baby arrested development was a big ol MEH imo. Just meh meh meh but I paid attention assuming there was going to be a payoff. Then there never was

Still, I would love if we could have the full Fantastic Four musical.

pretty sure they could of saved the season if season 4 was just a 20 hour long porn parody.

I thought it was pretty alright, some very genuinely funny stuff, but definitely suffered a lot overall from the cast not bein together which was like where the magic happened originally IMO, but also episodes were way too loving long which was a terrible poo poo decision. but like I don't think it was bad in the end. Another thing that was annoying was sometimes you'd see a scene with two characters and you wouldn't get the full context of it till you watch the episode with the other character, but instead of just getting new context they like actually edit in more dialog and poo poo I to the scene and that was really dumb and worked against the whole thing they were going for imo, so there was some lovely editing.

I thought it was pretty decent. It kinda sucked that they didn't have all the characters together and working off each other until the last few episodes which was a weird decision considering that's what made the comedy of the first seasons, but I still watched the whole thing and had a decent time doing it. In fact I think I liked it more than Season 3. Season 1 is still one of the greatest comedies ever made, though, IMO, and even the other seasons weren't able to live up to it.

Obviously it wasn't as good as the first 3 seasons but the George Maharis joke is one of the best they ever came up with.

Had a really rough beginning to the season, but if you stuck it out, the last few episodes tied everything together. They seriously needed to edit down the lengths of the first half of S4. Some episodes just went on and on without a single memorable joke.
