arrested development- is it just me?

i tried watching it a while back, for some reason started w the 3rd season. wasnt impressed.
decided to give it another try recently. liked the pilot, liked season 1.
but half way through s 2, i just cant. it’s the same joke, ad nauseam.
just me? does it get better?

tried it when it first came out. It didn't matter how many chances I gave it, I never got it. So I'm with you 1000% mopinko!

In fact, named my border collie pup after the character Maybe. It's not for everyone, clearly, but I thought it was hilarious.

I loved the first three seasons, but the fourth season they did about 10 years ago fell flat for me. The final season they did about 5 years ago was better.

It's one of my favorite comedy shows. Although I didn't like the last season or two when Netflix picked it up.
