Arrested Development (Seasons 1–5)

Arrested Development (2003) is a landmark FOX comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Created by Mitchell Hurwitz, the series follows the Bluth family — wealthy real estate developers who lose their fortune and their freedom when patriarch George Bluth Sr. (Jeffrey Tambor) is arrested for securities fraud.

Michael Bluth (Jason Bateman) steps in to hold things together, which mostly means cleaning up after everyone else. His brother Gob (Will Arnett) performs amateur magic. His sister Lindsay (Portia de Rossi) campaigns for causes she forgets by the next scene. His nephew George Michael (Michael Cera) has a crush that complicates everything. And Tobias (David Cross), the family therapist-turned-actor, generates problems faster than Michael can solve them. Ron Howard narrates throughout — calm, deadpan, entirely unhelpful.

Five seasons, 84 episodes, three Emmy Awards for Outstanding Comedy Series. The jokes are layered three deep and reward close attention. Stream all seasons of Arrested Development online on iFILM.
