Season 4 is underrated. It grows on you. Discuss
>>
These look like kidney stones and it's kinda disgusting
>>
>>221010176
I stopped watching midway through the first episode of season 4 because the lighting / general atmosphere of the show suddenly got WAY darker than previous seasons. It just made everything come across as dreary and self-serious.
>>
They never should have brought it back
>>
It's overly hated and has some very good episodes. The remix version is awful though and so is season 5.
>>
Season 4 was a step down from seasons 1-3 but still fine, some good jokes here and there. I dropped season 5 because it's just unwatchable

The bloated runtimes absolutely fucked the pacing and the greenscreen to being actors together when needed robbed it of the chemistry that helped make the earlier seasons. They had to keep the characters mostly separate in order to make it at all so they just shouldn’t have made it. It simply wasn’t funny enough and several people looked really fucking weird by that point. Throw in stuff like the drug addicts and it just felt odd and unpleasant
>>
>>221010176
Everything that built up to this incredible line was bad. It's genuinely fascinating, the writers must have worked backwards from this.

Season does suck though, the characters barely interact with each other, the shows strength was the cast

Tobias’ character was weird. His main thing was that he was secretly gay but they barely touched it

I thought the season was great. I call it the fantastic four… th season and it puts a smile all over my face and I’m smiling all over the place. Not 1 two or 3,
Fantastic 4
>>
>>221010346
It's because of conflicting shooting schedules forcing writers to have to write around everyone's unique availability. It's kind of impressive they still produced something semi-coherent given the production hell season 4 / 5 went through.

Comes across in some of the characterization as well. Everyone seems slightly more depressed and bitter, except maybe Tobias.

Not that that’s a particularly unreasonable development for the characters themselves. Maybe even a meta commentary on what happened with the housing market.

Lucille interacting with Tobias was pretty funny and something we didn't get to see in the original run (iirc their only interaction was that gag about denial). I also found the payoff to all the hype around George Michael's killer app just being a digital woodblock funny.
>>
>>221011314
because he was the strongest character by far. they leaned on him because so many of the other characters were only funny in one or two specific scenarios, especially the cunt sister. The two funniest characters were Tobias and George.

>Lindsay was one of the better characters,
She was far and away the weakest character. She has no comedic timing and her rich cunt antics weren't endearing, interesting or funny.
For comparison, her mother was actually funny, even though she was a similar type of rich cunt character. But she was an actual actress with good comedic timing and the ability to deliver lines properly. Lindsay was none of these things. That actress was miscast, the role could have gone to a hundred other blonde cunts with a sense of humor, but it went to the skeletor lesbian bitch instead. Anyone that gets married to Ellen DeGeneres is fucking nuts.

No. Lindsay was funny.
Lucille is obviously funnier and more interesting, but obviously you don't Lindsay for ulterior reasons.

She was one of the first “THATS HER???” plastic surgery transformations of the current era.

>>221012463
Alia Shawkat has examples of way worse acting and delivery sporadically across the first 3 seasons. Her character is also worse overall, and easily the least figured out of the main cast.

>yo that child actress wasn't as good as the grown woman, like wtf dawg
Portia is absolutely the worst actress in the cast.
>>
>>221012514
No, because otherwise I'd be citing her blonde hair and the fact that she's a dyke irl as reasons for why Lindsay, the character, is good.
Because those would be weird reasons to like or dislike a character.
One day you'll learn "no u" doesn't always just work as a response.

I thought her character was clearly being a con artist and brat. The revival seasons actually didn't know what to do with her.

And season 3 was a step down from season 1 and 2. First 2 seasons were god tier comedy kino, season 3 was still kino because the drop wasn't that hard, season 4 was interesting, and I don't even remember season 5 because it was slop.

I was always under the impression that season 4 was underrated. But then i saw the edited version, fated consquences or whatever, that Netflix is now showing as the default one, and it was the worst thing i had ever seen. So it's no wonder season 4 has a bad reputation when the raped re-edit is the one everybody sees and assumes is the real season. And it's night and day, the edit is fucking unwatchable.

Watching the show blind all those years ago on DVD.
This was probably the single greatest bit I've seen in my life up to this point.
When the revelation hits you, man I lost it.

The issue with the Netflix seasons.
I think there's still some good jokes in there, but the issue of the show was really the pacing. Singles linger.
Where as one of the best part of why Arrested Development is the fact that it's a rapid fire of quick witted jokes. It moves very frantically. Feels like a live action golden era Simpsons with how many bits they can fit in a minute. 4-5 feels more targeted and it stands out more when a meh joke doesn't land. Where in the original seasons if one doesn't land, doesn't matter you're getting two more in 4 seconds.
