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?

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.
