      Audience Reviews for Arrested Development: Season 2

      • Jan 20, 2023
        Best season of the best TV show ever. If you have not seen this yet, you have made a huge mistake.
      • Jan 13, 2023
        Season 2 of Arrested Development satisfactorily continues the misadventures of the Bluth family and subtly sets up plants that would pay off in Season 3.
      • Feb 07, 2022
        This show keeps delivering laughs after laughs. It's almost impossible to be as good as season one but season two is as close as it gets. One thing in particular that I find wonderful is how the show does not focus on one or two characters. The producers know how great of a cast they have and truly maximize their potential.
      • Feb 26, 2021
        The show's writing and creativity make it very entertaining for a sitcom. They really go all-in on some farfetched ideas which I can't help but love.
      • May 05, 2020
        It is the best season of the funniest show ever made.
      • Mar 22, 2020
        A great continuation of the show. Must see!
      • Mar 13, 2019
        Easliy one of my favorite seasons of television ever made.
      • Nov 29, 2018
        Season 2 will not disappoint everyone who loves this show!!
      • May 19, 2018
        Arrested Development is one of the best casted comedies. There are so many laugh out loud moments in every show. it is adult humor and it is hilarious. Highly recommend every season.
      • Apr 02, 2017
        Ending on a higher note was helpful, but this season was overall worse, never reaching the few highs like Season 1 did. I enjoyed episode 8, and the last three episodes, mildly more than the rest of the season. This show doesn't really make me laugh, but I like it otherwise (I guess I could say I like it as a "drama" maybe?) Everyone's performances are all so outstanding! I'm hoping Season 3 is better, and I'm not looking forward to Season 4.
