Good advices. I recommend it.

The reason being daaaaaaaaaaamn, no?
I was dying at that scene. Funniest thing I've seen all year, give or take Kevin Plawecki pitching for the Mets.
Wait, Denise is a lesbian!?!?!?
I don't remember the datestamp on the first Thanksgiving they showed. It's certainly possible they grew up together in South Carolina, although it would then be weird if they went back to visit every Thanksgiving as adults, and also weird that Denise both brought her girlfriend from 2015-17 and arrived at her family's…
Any episode that ends with any cut from Berlin-era Bowie, but especially "A New Career in a New Town", gets an A from me.
They said this when Megyn Kelly and Bill O'Reilly were on their way out, too, FWIW.
Jesus, that's a lot of shrimp.
A B+ grade isn't bad at all. I would have probably given it a D+, dragging down the season overall from a B to a B- grade.
Actually, a season of like three or four two- or three-part "dream" stories, each representing a different piece of Archer's fractured psyche, could have been pretty fucking awesome.
For me, it was that they took the show's resident wiseass gossip and turned her into the Pac-Man of cocaine. It would have been funny for an episode or two, but it was the whole season she did nothing but chow down on drugs and act like a drooling idiot.
Pam was absolutely the worst part of Archer Vice, with Fred Armisen's dictator character a close second (I can tolerate Armisen for about 5-10 minutes of run time before I start dreading the next time I hear his voice) and Cherlene a somewhat more distant third (sue me, I liked the tied-up shirt).
I get the distinct impression Reed is bored with the show but the network keeps ordering it, so he's taken the opportunity to ditch the underlying premise and toss the characters into a new sandbox every season. This was the third high-concept season and the second in a row, if you're counting the Figgis Agency…
Which is a shame, because Ray is one of my favorite characters.
The "Heart of Archness" three-parter is about the longest extended Archer story that's been sharp and cohesive the whole way through. I enjoyed the setup and the conclusion to Archer Vice, but it dragged in the middle and the buildup toward the finish was overdone (a little Fred Armisen goes a long way). And despite…
It had its moments, but the overall narrative arc felt like it dead-ended (no pun intended). It just didn't stick the landing. And the weirdly atonal second half of this episode has to stand as one of Archer's least successful sequences, give or take the flabby middle of the Archer Vice season.
Worth noting, of course, that BoJack is also a Netflix original.
It managed to go from 0 to HORRIFYING as soon as Tuan started boasting about convincing Pascha to slit his wrists.
Still better than the wildly implausible and unrealistic Aaron Echolls trial on Veronica Mars. Which is a super-low bar.
Poor Oleg is as dead as Nina Krilova. He's probably the most decent adult character on this show, and that's just not a way to get ahead in the Soviet bureaucracy.
