Arrested Development Season 4

[AOII Angel]

The format seems a little different, but episode 3 has some glimmers of the old AD. And, what has happened to Portia di Rossi? She looks like an alien!

I read somewhere they were trying to shoot around everyone's schedules, and I think that showed.

Admittedly, I don't feel like it's as good as the original, but give it a few more episodes - everything builds on everything else, and it starts getting funnier when you see the same event from several different perspectives.

I had hoped for more Maeby. I think she's super funny, and I find Alia Shawkat to be much more talented than her "cousin" Michael Cera, who plays one character brilliantly - in everything he does.

Reportedly the episodes are each designed to focus more on one character than the others. So I think we can expect to get a Maeby episode!

I'm 5 episodes in. So far George Sr's is my least favorite storyline.

I actually watched the Maeby episode last night, and I think one scene in particular will be much-loved by the folks on GC. You'll know it immediately when you see it.
