Thanks for this… this is one of those things I’ve wondered about for a couple of years seeing the tiles pop up on streaming services, but you know, not the sort of thing that worries me enough to actually look up, so it just lives in my brain until the universe (the ‘nautiverse?) provides an answer.
Edit: does anyone have any recommendations for American sitcoms in the vein of the Office, Community, Parks and Rec, Superstore?
I think I might have watched through most of them, but lately I’m finding something comforting in these late 00’s early 10’s shows.
I also highly recommend Vice Principals for a heart warming black comedy that just gets weird…
Luckily both Jason Bateman and Will Arnett almost always play some version of the same characters in nearly everything they’ve ever been in so you can get little continuations of arrested development hidden all over the place.
I’d say it’s worth it. Really solid sitcom. Not as iconic as Arrested Development, but still good stuff. Having Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Tony Hale in leading roles should be enough for any comedy fan to give it a go.
Veep is a show about terrible people being awful to each other, but it’s also one of the funniest shows ever written. The whole cast is brilliant. Even a bunch of the bit players and occasional guests have laugh out loud lines. And it finishes just as strong as it began, which is no small feat
The latter episodes of s1 were so funny. I still haven’t watched s2 out of fear that it would be worse, I think? I’m not even sure that’s the reason. I really need to watch s2. I did the same thing with Reservation dogs. Does anyone else sometimes arbitrarily stop watching great shows after the first season?
