I'm catching up on Breaking Bad, I hadn't seen season 5 part 1. I'm two episodes in right now.

Man.

It is DARK this season. Mike is one stone cold mother fucker.
 
Arrested Development Season 4 is available on Netflix right now.

I will be firing it up shortly.

Basic premise is the son of a real estate developer who embezzled and goes to jail. But that's just the backdrop for the storyline. What makes it great is the individual characters, especially Gob and Tobias. Also, you have to really pay attention because half of the funneh comes from recurring jokes and callbacks.

Im 2 in on the new season and its ok so far. They are basically doing a separate episode for each character toget you caught up on their storyline and then a few episodes that will lead into the planned movie.

I only saw the first season, but it really is great. A land developer goes to jail, and leaves it to one of his sons to fix everything in a family whose members are all cut off from reality in their own way.

At times it is over-the-top and at times it is really subtle, but never in a look-at-how-smart-this-show-is way. Hype aside, it is worth checking out.

Same here. It's one of the reasons I've never watched it. I have this weird thing where when people prop the hell out of something, I am turned off to it. It's one of the reasons The Hangover was out for over a year before I watched it. I just figured there was no way it was as funny as people made it out to be.

To be fair though, when I finally give in and watch, I'm usually glad I did.

Lost is a rare exception. I just could not get into it.
 
I watched the whole first season and had a few chuckles, but nothing approaching the internet jerking off over it.
 
Just ask yourself one question. Would Carl Weathers associate himself with something not great?

ya, didnt think so. It's great.

Not nearly as funny as the original series.

Uh yeah, you need to hop on Netflix and watch it. Starting at the beginning.

It's one of the funniest shows ever.

It's all a catchup since its been 7 years. During the press leading up to the new season, Tony Hale said Bateman used to call this season "Act 1" cause it sets up the movie they are planning.

I heard that too. That they are only planning on doing 1 season; they won't keep it going on Netflix indefinitely.

So yeah, it's just setting up a movie.

I mean, that in theory could still be funny. But I just don't think it's as good.
