Arrested Development Fox's Season were some of the cleverest written comedy on television it brought a number of memorable characters with jokes that showcase a masterclass of running gags. This would have been the easiest 10 in the history of television, then Netflix came along....

Now Season 4 deconstructs the Bluths by making them go away from each other and this is were the comedy while not loss showcases the ensamble cast is really what made the show shine. Characters become shells of their former selves with George Michael gaining a distaste for his father, Maeby gaining no purpose in the story, George Sr being no longer the reason their back together shows how weak his character was, and Tobias uncharacteristically becomes unfaithful to his wife. The only Bluths who are still themselves are Gob, Lindsay (who isn't on much to get ruined), and Buster. Michael gains the worst of these by becoming for lack of a better word...a member of the Bluth family. Season 5 continues the storyline by becoming more serialized and leaves the show in an unfinished state by continuing storylines that didn't need to be seasonal filler. Regardless Arrested Development is still a show worth watching for its first 3 seasons alone. Sadly the writers placed the series into the ironic place of literally being in Arrested Development.
