Trivia

In the opening sequence for season four, each character has a specific instrument that plays along with the title music: Michael (Jason Bateman) has a trumpet, George Sr (Jeffrey Tambor) has a guitar, Lindsay (Portia de Rossi ) has a sitar and guitar, Tobias (David Cross) has a saxophone and harp, G.O.B. (Will Arnett) has an electric guitar, Lucille (Jessica Walter) has a violin, Maeby (Alia Shawkat) has scat vocals, George Michael (Michael Cera) has a wood block, and Buster has an accordion. Although Arrested Development: Blockheads (2013) is a George Michael centric episode, all musical instruments are present.

Arrested Development

Arrested Development is another take on dysfunctional family; created by Mitchell Hurwitz, with lots of twists and turns and mystery that helps kick the series into another level and stand alone. The narration by Ron Howard that guides the viewers is actually a smarter concept that it actually seems, since the makers doesn't feel the need to explain the situation and momentum through cheesy and additional dialogues; a slick move.

It is short on technical aspects like cinematography, background score and art design although the camera work is plausible and is shot beautifully with pleasing, light and breezy environment.

The writing is strong in terms of the material offered especially since it doesn't feel the urge to push boundaries just to crack a smile, and instead focuses on the irony of it and lets it flow fluently with well barred structure. The amusing concept, enfolding tricks, gripping screenplay, parallel sub-plots that are well edited which later merges in brilliantly are some of the high points of the series.

There is also a lot of going on in mere 20 minutes for the audience to let it sink in which may seem overstuffed at times but it does the work which is to keep the audience tangled into it. The characters are more mature and pragmatic than the audience usually gets in a sitcom where they might not be lovable or even likable at times, but their humane-ness keeps the viewers rooting for them.

The performance is somewhat fragile in here since the protagonist Jason Bateman is in his A game but unfortunately isn't supported to that extent by its supporting cast (Will Arnett, Michael Cera, Portia de Rossi and David Cross).

Season 04

The fourth and unexpected act of the series is a piece of masterwork in its own way, where the convoluted plot is edited brilliantly with a keen observation of the characters' characteristics and the parallel sub-plots that fuels in, this craft which is not easy to explore but is certainly worth.

Red Hairing

An amazing crossover among two characters, despite of being a bit a bit long, the audience is kept engaged throughout the course of it and not for it is hilarious but for it has an intriguing approach and eerie perspective to follow.
