Overall opinion of the season is that there were moments of genius, but the "freedom" of Netflix probably knocked the quality (apparently Netflix "pushed" for the longer episodes).

Overall it wasn`t a patch on the first 3 seasons, but as that set the bar so high it`s not a terrible thing, the change of format is also quite jarring aswell. Understand that had to be done though and the long game is hopefully a "proper" season.


Highlight episodes were the 2 each for Gob and Tobias, who were always my favourites but thought may be a bit much in an episode on their own.

Arrested Development Season 5 dropped today on Netflix . Creator Mitch Hurwitz promised that this season would be more in keeping with the original three seasons of Arrested Development, which aired from 2003 to 2006. But that might not be the only thing keeping viewers from reliving the delight of the original seasons.

Quote:
While it was a valiant effort, the creators struggled to get the large band of cast members, many of whom had risen to new levels of fame, in a single location at once. This made for a disjointed and confusing season 4, with each episode dedicated to a different character’s story. In short, it wasn’t the Arrested Development we had spent 10 years loving.
