Arrested Development (Netflix) TV Show • Page 42

First two episodes were slow, but it picks up.

 

The jokes themselves are good but man it just feels like they’ve completely lost the plot

 

Maebe’s old lady disguise / act is amazing

 

Very much feels like S4 part two.

Does that make sense? Because I mean of course it should, but yeah.

 

Episode 1 down..... didn’t laugh once

 

Just finished episode 5. I've laughed a ton but it's definitely very...weird. While S4 had incredibly tight storytelling, things in this season just sort of happen. It might all tie together but the plot is kind of all over the place.

It feels like they just lost interest in what S4 was setting up and abandoned it. Didn't S4 end with the cops finding Buster in Lucille 2's penthouse? In this he turns himself in because Michael tells him too?
And Gob almost feels like a different character. Like he's coked up or something.

 

Will Arnet looks absolutely terrible

 

I will say Maebe is probably an early favorite, she's killing it so far

 

This was a frustrating watch. There were bits of it that were great, but it was really disjointed.

 

(Related to Maebe if you all haven't seen Search Party, you totally should.)

 

God I haven't seen the first season in so long. I suggest you all watch that instead!

 

I think maybe a big problem with the last two seasons are just trying to do too much with a plot that is completely different than the original run. There are no self contained episodes. Seeing Michael walk back into the Bluth Offices made me nostalgic for when the show was really just about this family trying to keep a business afloat...and beat treason charges, I guess.

And that sounds pretty negative when I can say I loved S4 and I've really enjoyed these first 5 episodes

 

It gets funnier, but not by a lot.

Still beats S4 by a mile for me.

 

And Green Room. And The Final Girls

 

Both also good. So is 20th Century Women.

 

Wow, Tony Hale aged so much more than anyone else did lol

 

I hope...

Gob used to be my favorite and he is not funny so far

 

Same. I'm surprised at how much I like Maebe. This is her best arc since when she was ditching school to be a producer.

 

Excited to get more into her storyline. I’m just finishing episode 2. I feel like Will Arnett forgot how to play Gob

 

@Kingjohn_654 did you watch the recut season 4?

 

Seasons 4 and 5 are proof that Jessica Walter is the comedic backbone of this show.

 

He looks puffy.

 

I did. Finished it two days ago. Just in time. Did you?

 

Yeah i personally loved it. Did it sill not do anything for you?

 

Eh. About the same.
