One viewer, titling their review on IMDb as "well Netflix ruined it...," said that the "first three seasons were like the best thing you could see in a sitcom ever. But from the 4th season it's all going downhill. I couldn't even get through season 5. If it wasn't for the last two seasons, this show would have been my favourite sitcom."
Echoing the above, another wrote: "Arrested Development really is one of the funniest and most underrated tv shows ever created, especially the first three seasons!
"As most of the reviews have already said the quality dropped off for the last two seasons when it came back after taking a few years off. But those first few seasons were so good that it makes this show an all-time great sitcom!"
Despite the fans' letdown, the show has a score of 75% on Rotten Tomatoes and an even higher one of 8.6 out of 10 on IMDb.
