Arrested Development by Thomas Pynchon

[Lex Alfonso]

been thinking about arrested development

newly renewed for a fifth season

non-linear narrative

large cast of eccentrics with telling names

intertextuality and metatextuality

satire of american culture as perceived through esoteric interests (close
up magic, maritime law, amateur theatre)

historical events as framing devices (iraq war, 08 housing crash)

post-industrial civilisation under the microscope

i dunno, i feel it
