📖 Synopsis
The Bluths are a wealthy California family who lose their fortune when patriarch George Bluth Sr. is arrested for corporate fraud. Michael Bluth, the only sensible member, tries to keep afloat his alcoholic mother, his egotistical older brother, his B-list actress sister-in-law, his younger brother—a perpetual magic student—and his manipulative teenage niece. Created by Mitchell Hurwitz, the series popularized multi-episode running gags and densely layered comedic editing.
✍️ Our review
Arrested Development pioneered multi-layered humor on TV: each episode is packed with hidden jokes that only become apparent on rewatching. Its dense comedy demands a second viewing and influenced much of the American comedy that followed.
