I wish I could be excited by this, but I think Netflix kinda killed AD when they brought it back the last time. The plot and execution was terrible and off-brand.
I highly recommend going back and rewatching it if you get a chance. I initially hated the 4th season of AD at first, but upon a second viewing, after knowing how the story arcs eventually intersect, I was able to appreciate the little details a lot more.
There's certainly something to be said for letting a classic stay a classic. I guess the reasoning is probably more that it's a proven moneymaker, which drives more decisions than anything in Hollywood these days.
Yeah, I would much prefer they work with the actors' schedules to keep them together in more scenes. I do give the developers kudos for coming up with a creative solution to that problem during season 4, and I liked it well enough, but I liked seasons 1-3 better.
That said, I'll look forward to a new season regardless, even if I now constantly mix up Lucille Bluth and Mallory Archer. :)

Netflix getting it done again. I really like that we have Amazon and Netflix competing in this space. Nothing but good for the entertainment industry.

Yep, and I don't mind paying for both. Fuel the competition!

I will say, the "Method One Acting Clinic" storyline made me laugh, a lot.
Then I felt really bad about myself.

If they can afford to have all the actors in the same place at the same time, I'll bite.

That's pretty much how I feel.

Yeah, the chemistry of the cast was the best part of 1-3.

I'm with elsueco on this one, but hopefully they bring it with the caliber of House of Cards and Marco Polo.
