Created by Mitchell Hurwitz, Arrested Development follows the Bluth family, a formerly wealthy and influential family who have fallen on hard times. The show is known for its non-linear storytelling, complex characters, and intricate plotlines, which have captivated audiences and inspired a devoted fan base.

When Arrested Development returned to Netflix in 2013 (seven years after Fox canceled it), creator Mitch Hurwitz attempted an experimental narrative structure. Instead of a linear timeline, Season 4 focused on individual characters per episode, with timelines overlapping chaotically. It was brilliant but exhausting. However, the real crime happened later.
