When did Arrested Development jump the shark? 🦈

Season 4, Episode 1

The fourth season marked a significant change in the show's format, moving away from the original ensemble cast dynamic to a more segmented story structure focusing on individual characters. This shift was largely due to scheduling conflicts with the actors, and it resulted in a loss of the comedic timing and chemistry that defined the earlier seasons. Additionally, the storyline became more convoluted and less cohesive, leading to a decline in viewer satisfaction.
