also I absolutely despised the Rita Leeds arc on Arrested Development - it started out fine but then went about as downhill as I’ve seen television go in recent memory. I haven’t actually been able to watch past the last episode she’s in (the one in which it went to shit)… I almost wrote something explaining the problem but I’m really bad at media criticism, I just get this visceral “NO!” feeling with vague ideas of what the writer(s) did wrong. idk.
I think the writers were pissing their pants in excitement at getting to write for Charlize Theron. The whole bad English accent thing and the ‘she’s retarded in a totally cute way and so I didn’t notice’ - ness of it all. Cringe. Definitely a low point.
