TV: Arrested Development (The review)

I was excited beyond belief that AD was returning as you can see from my previous post AD Post. Returning after 7 years of hopes, prayers and false rumors. I tweeted, I Instagrammed and texted all my fellow AD lovers constantly. I was obsessed! My hopes were as high as they'd ever been for anything in life! So its to my chagrin that I have to say I was, at first, sorely disappointed with this new season. The first 4 episodes were HORRIBLE! So much so that I gave up on watching. It was too sad, through those first 4 eps I laughed about 2 times. The horror! The humor was off, the story lines were flat and the characters seemed forced. But mid season the show began to turn around. Somehow the writing became funnier and it began to remind me of the old times (almost). In the end the season got better and I'm glad I didn't give up so quickly. However it never made it to the level of excellence of the original 3 seasons. Give it a chance but don't go in with the extremely high expectations that I did. Overall I would give this season a B.
