    I'm watching season 5 and I think it's insane how much these episodes are edited. I feel like only 25% or less of the scenes features dialog audio that actually matches the lip movement. Either there are heads blocking faces, fast-paced back-and-forth editing within one dialog, or often the person speaking is off-screen or shown from behind. It's almost as if they already shot the scenes in favor of this editing style.

    In one extreme case yesterday, Michael was talking to Buster on the phone, which was shown in a split-screen – but visually, Buster was represented by the building he was in, for the entire scene. And Michael who was driving his e-car in the sun had his mouth magically covered by a lens flare, no matter the head movement.

    The extent is so ridiculous that it's kind of funny … but also annoying?

      Editing … Two edits … if you're talking about the season being split into two chunks, then yes, that's that season. But it's complete by now.

      Editing … Maybe I have the wrong show. I think it was some sitcom. There's some show, I think Netflix acquired it as an original after a few seasons, and it has two edits. One edit that people hated, and a re-edit by Netflix that people preferred.

      Editing … Oh, it is Arrested Development! But it's season 4 where they have two edits. Netflix labels the re-edit "Season 4 Remix: Fateful Consequences," and the original cut appears under the "Trailers & More" tab

      Editing … The whole season? I might have to re-watch it, then.

      Editing … Which version did you see? I'm pretty sure I heard the original cut had each episode follow one character or something, and the re-edit told the story with a more traditional style of cutting between characters.

      Editing … I haven't heard of it being called remix, so I assume that I saw the original cut.

      Editing … I dunno if it's labelled as a remix within the actual episodes, I just saw it here https://i.imgur.com/4M2dwBz.png

    Oh man, I was so happy watching this show. I was really digging the new editing format of season 4, too. But then it abruptly ended – like a punch in the face.
