TV-MASeason 5
Someone had to get the family back together.
Synopsis
Arrested Development (2003), Season 5 — sixteen episodes streaming online on iFILM, the show's second Netflix run released in 2018. Michael is back with the family. He was always going to be back with the family.
Buster is the crisis holding everyone together: he is the prime suspect in Lucille 2's disappearance, and rather than face the police, half the family finds reasons to scatter to Mexico. Lindsay runs for office and pulls everyone into her orbit for conflicting reasons. George-Michael's fake tech startup Fakeblock is losing credibility as Michael pieces together what his son has actually built, and George Sr. quietly steers the border-wall scheme toward a finish line. By the back half, the Bluths are heading toward a courtroom — video evidence, surprise testimony, and the usual inability to keep their stories straight.
The murder thread gives Season 5 more connective tissue than the scattered fourth season, and the cast feels closer to its original shape. Stream Arrested Development Season 5 online on iFILM — all episodes available.
