More “Arrested Development”

I’m dutifully making my way through the rest of the Netflixed season and for the most part, my first impressions haven’t modulated much. In the comments, someone argued that “It’s a tremendously ambitious work, and pretty unprecedented what Hurwitz is trying to do with it. As many critics have said, like Rashomon on steroids.” I would say that this is probably right and that, if nothing else, my appreciation for Hurwitz’s ambition has deepened. And there were about two-and-a-half episodes that I enjoyed quite a lot.

Santino has a big, thoughtful reflection on the whole thing. I don’t disagree with any of it, particularly his technical observations toward the end.
