This is a review of Seasons 1-3 of Arrested Development, for my season 4 review click here.
The story of the Bluths, a wealthy family who lost everything and the one son whom had no choice but to keep them all together.
Arrested Development was cancelled back in 2006 and many people were big fans and many up till now had never heard about it. But why review it?
Netflix has brought back the show after seven years releasing all episodes of season 4 at once, this really caught my attention so i decided to go back and watch all three old seasons, and i loved them.
I'm not even going to start on the fact that Arrested Development is the best comedy to ever hit the television, it's just so smart that you don't have to do that. One of my problems with the show is that you can't love it from the pilot episode. It took me five episodes to decide that i would finish all three seasons for sure and you have to push yourself through.
Jason Bateman plays the same role he plays in every movie, but actually in every movie he plays Michael Bluth who is absolutely relatable and the sensible one in the disfunctional family, his son George-Michael played by Michael Cera is hilarious at points although some of his storyline is season 2 drops.
Will Arnet and Jeffrey Tambor are absolutely hysterical. They had great chemistry but Arnet's GOB is just so funny that you don't even need to know what's going on to laugh.
I had a hard time adapting to Tony Hale's character Buster who is the man child and it took a while to get that, maybe it was just me.
One of the best things about the show it's how much the Narrator voiced by Ron Howard, he just makes this show the great show that it is. I am not used to laughing this hard at the tv.
All of these characters are relatable at one point and the guest apperances by Ben Stiller and actors who weren't that famous then and are in Arrested Development you can just have a lot of fun with these cameos.
The situation these characters are put in can sometimes be a little forced but i love it how there's always a confusion in the plot of the episodes.
The finale would have worked as a final episode but i love the fact that they brought it back after seven years, i recommend it to every one, sitcoms don't get better than this.
So overall
"Arrested Development's great relatable characters, good humor and original storylines will make you laugh like you never did before in front of the television."
9/10 (Amazing)
