ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT
May 26, 2013  | By David Bianculli

Netflix, 3:00 a.m. ET

 
SERIES RETURN: Like locusts, Arrested Development showed up for a while, made a lot of noise, then went into invisible hibernation. That was seven years ago, when the Fox comedy series from 2003-06, which won the Best Comedy Emmy one of those years, was canceled way too prematurely. Now, almost incredibly, it lives again, as a 15-part sequel featuring the original cast members in a tag-team structure. The insanity, as before, is overseen by series creator Mitch Hurwitz, who brings his Bluth family of endearing misfits to Netflix. Beginning at 3 a.m. ET today, you can binge, any time you wish, on any or all of 15 new episodes – none of which was available for preview. But on reputation and respect alone, I’d say dive in, quickly and often. Jason Bateman stars. For my very glowing review of the entire new series, which I watched as quickly as possible, see Bianculli's Blog.
