Arrested Development (review)

A few weeks ago, I finished watching "Arrested Development" and have to say it's exactly as good as everyone said it was. Such witty characters and story lines, that made this show work so well.

Even the 4th season (exclusively on Netflix) was a joy, though some fans don't like it as much. I understand the complaints, it's done differently from the show. Seasons 1-3 were all episodes containing an overall story arc, while season 4 told one story from several different point of views.

It was the easiest way to get the cast back together who may have had other commitments and only had a few weeks to give for shooting. Which is what it felt like. No doubt the cast had fun returning, but it is hard to remember how things fit together in the story line if you're not going to binge watch the entire season at once.

They're shopping around a movie next, then another season on Netflix and I'll be in line waiting for both. I'm guessing either the writer for "Frozen" worked on this show or was a fan of it, since this is where the joke "We finish off each others..a.sandwiches" comes from, since it's a running gag in the 3rd season.

What show is next up to watch on Netflix? You'll find out soon enough when I do my next review!
