Arrested Development (Netflix) TV Show • Page 45

I think the two biggest problems with Netflix AD is the the timeline and the amount of call back jokes.

 

The show has always been pretty call back heavy though

 

It definitely has, but it’s almost like there are no new jokes sometimes.

 

I love gay GOB. The green screen stuff was still really jarring but I enjoyed it overall and I'm looking forward to the next half. The only thing I didn't "get" was the Tobias son stuff.

 

The plot has gotten way too serialized and convoluted. Every character interaction requires a full minute of Ron Howard explaining things. It completely disrupts the show’s rhythm.

 

Every scene with Maebe & George Micheal is the clear highlight of this season and I wouldn’t be mad if the show continued with them as the focal point. I’m ready to be done with George Sr and Tobias. Tobias used to be my favorite but oh how the mighty have fallen.

 

Episode 7 is the best one for laughs

 

I noticed the jokes/callbacks are so much better when they don’t need Howard to explain them.

 

I absolutely love the song they use for the end of season 4 when GM punches Michael.

 

Last few eps are pretty good

 

My main issue with it. I found myself watching this if I had absolutely nothing else to watch.

I feel like the jokes are clever enough and more or less what you'd expect from the show but it just doesn't have the storyline and absurd situations like the original series did to back them up. Basically: same punches, bad setup.

 

I haven't watched anymore yet.

 

I don't even think it has the jokes there anymore. I think this is a step down from season 4 which was already a huge stepdown from the original series.

 

It feels like there’s too much going on and also not enough at the same time

 

I got my fill of comedy from Barry though so it’s all good, definitely recommend.

 

In a world with new Kimmy Schmidt there really isn’t much reason to waste time on this.

 

Heh, that's another show I never finished watching.

 

Finally finished and even though it did get better as the season went on, it was still a struggle to get through. Not at all looking forward to the second half of the season now.

 

New half season of kimmy is better than this half season. But last few episodes of this were good.

 

I just finished episode six. The last couple have at least been a little better, but man...those first few were a serious chore/bore. I chuckled at the “Geo-bead” “Well, today’s the day” joke.

 

I tried rewatching an episode and couldn’t even get through it. Ah well.

 

How far did you get??

 

This season has felt uninspired. Something is really off.

 

Like the second or third episode of the second season I think.

 

I don’t know what y’all are watching, this season was clearly better than season four.
