‘Arrested Development’ Season Four Arrives On Netflix, Twitter Goes Crazy
If you’re reading this right now, then you’re not watching Arrested Development.
In case you hadn’t heard, the long-awaited fourth season of the acclaimed sitcom has arrived on Netflix streaming. This is the day hardcore fans have been waiting for since the show was canceled in 2006.
There are now 15 brand new episodes for Arrested Development fanatics to enjoy. Lots of willpower will be needed not to veg out in front of the television all day long. In fact, series creator Mitch Hurwitz told Wired that watching everything in one sitting once might dampen the experience.
Hurwitz explained:
“I think that people do sit down and watch it all at once. Personally, I think [that] will be very fatiguing and will lose some of the fun of being able to mull on it. But I think that with the majority of binge watchers, it’s a modified binge watching, just like the majority of novel readers. You know, you don’t read it all at once. But you are in control of when you feel like going back to it. I personally hope people don’t sit and watch it for, you know, 500 minutes or longer.”
While the creator of Arrested Development doesn’t think you should cram that many episodes inside your brain in one sitting, that’s exactly what lots of people intend to do this holiday weekend.
Below you can find a handful of reactions to the sitcom’s return to the small screen. As you can tell from these tweets, Netflix servers are going to be working overtime for quite a while.
