Krieger, Pam, Cherlene have radically and hilariously transformed, and still feel consistent to their personalities. Archer's continued almost innocent narcissistic elitist **** is perfect. Not crazy about the new palette for opening titles, but it does evoke the Miami Vice postmodern pink, teal, tropical color scheme. The sets are exquisitely and hilariously rendered as they deconstruct the notion of retro, pulling from several decades simultaneously. Obscure references continue to instruct and amuse.The timing of the cast is spot on. Loved the last episode's Breakfast Club bit (Mallory: "Now you're just spouting random words" (not verbatim). & Fred Armisen is predictably fabulous. I imagine many find this show bad for the kids, deeply profane.

   This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The whole proposed 180-degree and (SPOILERS) downfall of ISIS is a rare and brilliant surprise (only bettered by surprise fellatio). With season 4 starting to feel tired, Adam Reed also seemed so, so he's stripping everything that we knew about the show apart from the characters. This was a great new season premiere (and possible pilot) for Archer... Vice… Expand

   With the revelation that ISIS weren't actually a legal branch of the CIA Archer both literally and figuratively (is there a word for that?)With the revelation that ISIS weren't actually a legal branch of the CIA Archer both literally and figuratively (is there a word for that?) blows itself up to start over as Archer: Vice. This fifth season is arguably the least consistent in terms of quality, with plot taking priority of jokes perhaps a little too often, but the show still remains thoroughly entertaining with laugh out loud moments throughout the thirteen episodes on offer.… Expand
