The show is getting rebooted for its fifth season, and it’s quickly clear what a good idea that is. Read full review

Archer‘s affection for character and craft makes it more likely to be remembered as one of the great TV shows of our time, and not just another dirty cartoon. Read full review

There was a certain circuitousness to the plotlines that Archer Vice not only interrupts, but short-circuits completely. Read full review

I don't think I'm in the traditional Archer demographic, but I am completely in love with this series that just keeps on ratcheting up the brilliance. Krieger, Pam, Cherlene have radically and hilariously transformed, and still feel consistent to their personalities. Archer's continuedI don't think I'm in the traditional Archer demographic, but I am completely in love with this series that just keeps on ratcheting up the brilliance. 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. I just love it and Bob's Burgers, and find them Macintosh innovative compared to the mass produced Windows-like, endless McFarlane shtick. Total 10 for this girl.… Expand

The change in plot has created more situations of pure comedy. Same Archer in new situations. This is one of my favorite seasons of Archer, and it's still the funniest animated show.

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

The first reinvention of this series' plot and characters sees the gang become full blown drug dealers.

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

The fact that Cheryl becoming a country music star is the main plot of the season just showcases how bad this season was. IMO, It's the worst season of the show and that's saying something considering I enjoyed every other season up until this point.

What happened to Archer? I think I've laughed two or three times so far (six episodes!), not at all during the last episode. The next episode is the decider whether to stop watching this season.
