Comment on What shows had awkward or otherwise poor returns from cancelations?
macrocephalic@kbin.social 10 months agoI actually really liked season four in its original format - where you saw the story from one person's perspective and then later saw it from another's. The way the story lines intertwined was really good IMO. If you watch it now then you get the recut version where it's all in chronological order and it's just weak.
I haven't watched it since the original version. Frankly, it was barely okay as it was, but the structure was one of the things that made the obvious scheduling issues bearable. If you don't structure around it and sort of hang a lampshade for those who were following the production, then yeah, you just get a remarkably weak season of Arrested Development. Never bothered with 5.
Sometimes a staff has moved on and a moment has passed. Looking at YOU, various Covid reunion shows.
I enjoyed season 4 as well, particularly in the original format. Season 5 on the other hand, I have no idea what that was.

It was different and it could have been good with different characters, but I didn’t like it because the characters are bad to stick around with by themselves for extended periods of time.
