I felt like I was really, really trying to hype up this review by having a lot of posts related to this... and I was going to try watching it several times... which I have and pay close attention to detail with each episode... which I kind of did but I found it a little harder to do than most seasons... and I think I'll get to that.
So this part focused on Michael's separation from the family... and from George Michael particularly because Michael's always been pretty separate from the family-despite always helping them when they needed it- but George Michael was always there with him and they always got along. After the fallout with Rebel Ally- they both avoided each other and they were even a little scared of each other. They both started a self defense class to protect yourself against your family... or your "Darth" in George Michael's case. It was different seeing Michael as a George Sr type to George Michael... although they did kind of do that throughout the original series also... like when Michael promised George Michael a trip to the Cabin- and then he said "Sorry Buddy, something came up" the way that George Sr would.
And it was pretty funny to see that Buster was in jail this season... and to see him in the attic too.He was a lot more like George Sr this season and I liked how they kind of showed that. Arrested Development is all about parents relationships with children and... well actual Arrested Developments- but someone is always in some sort of jail... and it was nice to see Buster in the same places that George Sr was imprisoned.
I like that Tobias has an illegitimate son in this season... I think that's a staple of the Bluth family if you think of it. Ron Howard, Gob, Michael (assuming Maggie Lizer actually did get pregnant in the 'on the next arrested development') George Michael (assuming that was his baby that the woman from his trip to Spain was pregnant with), Oscar with Buster... and I'm sure we'll find out Buster and George Sr do also. It was funny and I really liked how David Cross and Kyle Mooney played off of each other. It was a funny twist I wasn't expecting.
And now to my favorite part of the season: Maeby! Alia Shawkat is perfect this season and I love what they've done with Maeby in this season and the last season. She really gets herself in the funniest situations... and she doesn't really care. When she was 16 she was skipping class to be a film executive. When she was an adult- she was actually attending high school to rebel against her parents who weren't even there... and now she's posing as a senior citizen so that she can hide from the cops... it's just all so funny and I really think the last two seasons have been HER seasons. She's just PERFECT!
I think those are my favorite parts of the season an everything I have to say about it... I'll probably end up going over it again when I start to re-watch the whole series... which I will do... and again before the second half of the season comes out... and when the second half of the season comes out. This is my favorite show!
