Doesn't hold up well. Lots of the laughs the first time around. Agree that is is pretty brilliant.

Tried viewing it again and it falls completely flat.

For sure the show has layered comedy but its like once you watch it, you know what's coming and it is not as funny.

Don't worry, that guy hates everything.

The only show that has ever approached Arrested Development for me in terms of ensemble comedic brilliance is The Righteous Gemstones.

I've listened to 5+ years of Smartless podcasts mostly to here GOB and Michael together once a week.
