I have zero expectations for the show, but reasonably high hopes. Honestly, by the end of the third season, the show was on its last legs as far as over-arcing jokes were going, and was having trouble coming up with new original ones to replace them.
That said, the show, taken as a whole, was simply brilliant. It wasn't too smart (even though that's what its fans immediately claim by association), it was just so on-point, every single episode. Very little in the way of self-indulgence.
And Jessica Walter as Lucille Bluth. The true gem of the show.
