OT: Arrested Development Season 4 Thread
Fellow Bloggers,
The time has finally come for the return of Arrested Development! Netflix subscribers will be able to stream all 15 episodes starting at 3:00am EDT on Sunday. Please discuss anything and everything below.
Happy watching,
Your friendly neighborhood Balrog
My thoughts? Not so good. Got a few laughs but I didn't think the episode as a whole was very funny.
It had some funny parts, but it was strange having it focus on only one storyline. I thought the second episode was better.
Just finished the second one and thought it was funnier than the first. Hopefully the trend continues.
I've only watched the first episode so far, but I thought it was very funny. But it was a bit uncomfortable watching Michael be so pathetic.
I find it a rather jarring change to his character, going from the straight man and only competent person in his family to one just as clueless and off the rails as the rest of them.
I'm only on episode 3 but i don't like how it seems they are making each episode about one character only. So far I'm disappointed, seems very rushed and I don't need a rehash of who each character is.
I knew that was the plan for a long time, so it doesn't bother me. They sort of want this to serve as a way to catch everyone up on what the characters have been up to for the last 8 years. Ideally, then there will be a movie, though Netflix seems more interested in another season.
I enjoyed the workaholics cameo haha. Who else signed up for their free 1 month trail just for arrested development ?
I thought episode 3 was the funniest one yet. Still not as funny as the original episodes, but I enjoyed it.
Just finished episode 1, starting 2 now
That's probably my last one tonight, but I really enjoyed that one. Iike how they're getting a lot of big comedic actors to do small parts in these episodes.
but I'm going to wait until tomorrow, so I can watch it when I'm not half asleep.
I tried watching the original seasons and couldn't connect with most of the actors and didn't find it overly funny. Maybe ill give it a second look.
...can't wait for Peppers' announcement.
EDIT: OT indeed.
I've made a huge mistake.
It's cool they brought back the entire cast. Now if they could have only brought back the writers....
Pretty good... Tobias' first episode is easily my favorite so far.
Because they all came out at once, it's hard to discuss the show since everyone's at different spots.
GOBs first episode made me laugh out loud for a solid 5 minutes
Definitely some hilarious parts. Mostly lived up to my expectations. Not necessarily happy with the end. Buster could have been better but GOB was fantastic
Gob's first episode was incredible. Tobias, Maeby, and George Michael's episodes were also great. As a whole the season started show but once it picked up it got back to its expected level of awesome. Hoping the finale is amazing.
Just finished it and I enjoyed it a whole lot... I watched the first three seasons like I did this one so it felt like picking up where I left off. I really hope they do more seasons I love the dynamics of the characters. What's up with the ostriches?
Dan Harmon appearance! Awesome!!!
Enjoyed it greatly. It definitely didn't compare to the first two seasons for me, but might have been almost as good as the third. Still very good, and I'm sure I'll have a fun time catching jokes that I missed the first time around.
And another day of watching the new season.
