Review:
Witty & memorable! With a stellar cast, Arrested Development delivers a wacky range of characters and the best part is, they’re not trying to be funny, they’re just a set of mostly clueless characters attempting to figure out how to function in the real world when they no longer have the wealth they used to. Chuck in legal cases and bad business deals in the mix and you have desperate people doing outrageous things to fix their problems. It is a very clever show. Each character is well defined and original, all with real, unique personalities making for hilarious interactions and relationships. You have George Bluth Sr. the father of the family who winds up in jail and his wife Lucille who is a functional alcoholic and often manipulative and cold. They have three sons: G.O.B, who inherited none of his father’s intelligence or motivation and lives to become a magician; Michael who is hard-working, responsible and honest; and Buster who despite being in his thirties is wholly dependent on his mother. George Michael is Michael’s equally hard-working son who is often a little timid. George Sr. and Lucille also have a daughter Lindsay who is only appreciated by her parents for her good looks and acting out in rebellion, marries Tobias Funke who is an “aspiring” actor. Together, they have a daughter Maeby Funke who is quite the con artist and rebel. This dysfunctional family will keep you laughing at their antics as they struggle through daily life!
I would
recommend starting from season 1 as you get a feel of the place of each
character in the family, their personality and relationships with the other
family members. Long running inside jokes and the style and flow of the show
are set in the first season. Sadly, season 4 does not meet the same standards
as the other season but nonetheless still a great season! After a long break,
there are rumours that Arrested Development will be back for a season 5, so
stay in tune for more of their crazy antics!
