Arrested Development: Season 03 (2005) Reviews

As an absolute fan of this series it's hard not to give this season 5 stars, but I'm trying to be as objective as possible. It's true what they say about season 3 - it does start to get a little grabby, but for even semi-fans of the show, this is definitely worth watching. The british sub-plot goes a little long. The save-arrested-development plugs get a little thick, but all in all there are way too many laughs here to pass this one up. Shame on BB for not having this available to rent!

You have to follow the story. You have to pay attention. You have to have more than a modicum of intelligence. It really helps to be an insider or even be slightly knowledeable about The Biz to really, really enjoy this series and I swear LYFAO! It's great to have it in a non-linear form. Or should I say a repeatable linear form because Ron Howard let the ubertalented cast off-leash and some of the takes were so good that they were kept as is and you gotta watch 'em over to get it. Like some times a word or phrase is delivered like it would be in real life; soft or nearly unintelligible. But you aren't there to say, Huh? What did you say? So you gotta play it again to catch the word or the meaning. The writing is out of this freaking world. Subtlety is used to it's excruciating best. Bravo! Every episode a winner. Every cast member a solid star.
