Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

tsamaniego-11581 I absolutely loved seasons 1-3 but I'm not sure what happened after that. I laughed so much during the first three seasons and the characters were great! I was extremely bored with season four and now I'll see what season five brings...

benjaminchesters The first 3 seasons were great. The 4th season had some good jokes but was just boring. The 5th season premiered a few weeks ago and was very funny but still not as good as the first seasons, it was better than the 4th season and had a better plot

kjdfngh Arrested Development is probably my least favorite comedy series. It's boring, every episode is the exact same thing, the family making fun of each other. It's funny at first, but I can't stand it after the 10th episode.

Binge I found the first few episodes OK and kept watching because I generally love shows and movies about dysfunctional selfish people and their interactions. Intelligent perspectives on human behavior are comedy goldmines. Unfortunately this show gradually stops portraying the characters as unlikable dysfunctional people but rather wants us to find them hilarious and adorable. It doesn't succeed in making them hilarious and adorable either so after a while you are just watching a bunch of people talking to each other, repeating recycled jokes. You get bored. The story lines are excruciatingly slow and empty. There are themes that they insist on going on and on with that are just not funny, like the old lady dating Buster or the father going Jewish in prison were just cringe (S 1). Same themes have been really funny in other shows so it's just a matter of the writers and producers not being able to deliver. All in all, the actors really do a good enough job, and I might have given it a 5. But the racial humor cost them those extra stars in my review. Racial humor can be very entertaining. But again, they couldn't deliver on that either and the jokes are just vulgar and downright racist. I get the feeling this was made for a niche market and I am definitely not in the target group. Im guessing the good reviews come from people who are more or less in that niche, or they were written after having watched just a few episodes? If you like intelligent comedy about human interaction, a story line that moves forward and pauses with subplots that are funny and not repeated to death, if you don't enjoy racism creeping up on you, then you are not in the target group either.
