Brief synopsis of Arrested Development - Season 2

The Bluth family returns for another season of life after credit cards, in this revolutionary award-winning comedy. Michael Bluth (Jason Bateman) is the voice of reason in the midst of a blue-blood clan of crazies who have become acclimated to the life of luxury due to the fortune earned by patriarch George Sr. (Jeffrey Tambor) in the tract-housing business. When George is arrested on charges of tax fraud, however, the family's assets are frozen, and the resulting life of relative poverty proves difficult in many unexpected ways. Matriarch Lucille (Jessica Walter) is an emotionally stunted alcoholic, who in season two hires a bounty hunter to find George Sr., who has run off to Mexico maybe. The Bluth siblings include Lindsay (Portia de Rossi), a socialite whose multitude of causes serves to further her own social career; Gob (Will Arnett), a womanising illusionist; and Buster, a mama's boy who spends his time pursuing a nebulous career as a grad student. Lindsay is married to Tobias (David Cross), an out-of-work actor and former doctor whose sexuality remains undefined. Michael, in addition to tending to the foibles of his siblings, spends much of his time trying to be a good dad to his earnest 14-year-old son, George Michael (Michael Cera). Season two also sees Buster joining the Army, Lucille getting tricked into rehab, and the Bluth Banana Stand getting rebuilt, while Lindsay's anti-depressants turn out to have hallucinogenic properties.

Rated - 5 starsSuperb comedy

The Bluth family are back for another joke packed season. If you liked series one you will absolutely love this, if you haven't seen series one rent it before you see this,or you will be quite lost, there are lots of running jokes and asides that relate to the first series. It is amazing how much they cram into each episode of this superlative sitcom and thats why it is great on repeat viewings, you keep seeing things you missed first time round. Do yourself a favour and rent this, the best sitcom to come out of America since Seinfeld :)

Rated - 5 starsFantastic - an hidden gem

Christopher Powell from Stafford , 16/06/2006

Withoiut doubt the wittiest, smartest comedy to come along in quite some time. If you haven't seen series one, don't worry because you can pick this up immediately.

The dysfunctional Bluths may be the funniest family since The Simpsons. #

RENT THIS NOW!!

Rated - 5 starsAbsolutely brilliant

A friend recommended this to me. Didn't expect much but I watched the entire first DVD in one session. This is sublime comedy. The acting and script is fantastic and the fact it follows a storyline, granted a lose one, is a breath of fresh air. Seriously recommend this if you are looking for intelligent, zany comedy

Rated - 5 starsBrilliantly funny

A customer from Exmouth, England , 07/06/2007

For anyone who has not seen this, you should. I am not a huge fan of sitcoms, but this is a cut above the rest. About an entirely dysfunctional family, every character is brilliantly hilarious. The writing is clever, the acting effortless and each episode provides a genuine laugh a minute. My personal favourite is the socially inept Buster, unable to cut the cord with his mother whose smothering results in a bout of panic attacks. Each character has their own quirky charm - Tobias who is a 'never nude'; George Michaels unforbidden attraction to rebelious cousin Maeby; Lucille the matriarch who is manipulative, hypocritical and a raging alcoholic. The entire series is a must see for those who love off beat, laugh out loud humour. Listen out for Ron Howards commentary.
