Arrested Development: Now everyone has to hold it together



Cast: Jason Bateman, Portia De Rossi, Tony Hale, David Cross.

Yes, Arrested Development is back with its fourth season on Netflix and begins 5 years after the end of the 3rd season. Each episode tells the same story from the perspective of different characters so that the same storyline becomes complex, intertwining and slightly repetitive. Each episode leads the character to Cinco de Quatro, the annual festival held on the 4th of July. The tongue-in-cheek humour, wittiness and the absolute Wodehouse-ian situational hilarity from before is retained as each character tries to stay afloat-monetarily, sexually, and psychologically. Reserve an entire Sunday and watch all the 15 episodes back-to-back and everything might just make sense.
