Like a large number of people, I didn’t take Arrested Development‘s cancellation well. To be fair, I preferred to catch the show on DVD rather than watch it during Fox broadcasts because of my personal preference of TV digestion (marathon viewings, no waiting, no commercials, captions); I admit, I was probably part of the problem that caused the show’s untimely demise.
With a revival in the form of a Netflix-exclusive 4th season premiering this week, it’s only fitting that The Arrested Development Documentary Project found its release this month. Directed by two self-admitted Arrested Development superfans, the documentary shares some insight on the history behind the series directly from various cast and crew, including Mitch Hurwitz, Ron Howard, and a majority of the cast, as well as a number of fans.
However, how well does the documentary fare compared to the numerous behind-the-scenes features on the series’ DVDs.
