Archer Review: "Drift Problem" (Episode 3.7)
The more I think of this week’s episode of Archer, I realize it is somewhat of an anomaly for the series. Usually with Archer the show builds to a third act that is an excellent combination of action and comedy that Archer puts together perfectly. But with this episode, “Drift Problem”, the show starts off with a bang and a fun first act, and then quickly dissolves into the weakest episode of the third season so far. read more

With every season of Archer, the ISIS team leaves the confines of the office and go on a trip together, intentional or not, that ends up being one of the funniest episodes of the season. With season 1, the group went on an airship planned to blow up in “Skytanic” and in “Swiss Miss”, they went to a winter resort. This year’s outing in “The Limited” takes them on a high-speed train to return a Nova Scotian freedom fighter, Bilko, to Canada, and stands up against those other great episodes. read more

It’s an old tried and true formula for _Archer_, but it continues to work so well. Archer and Lana get sent on a mission, one where they are perturbed at each other, while the remaining staff of ISIS stays behind to have their own twisted adventures. In their third season, we’ve seen this set up time and time again, yet creator and writer Adam Reed continually finds new ways to make this simple set up never get old after all these episodes. read more

When looking at the character of Sterling Archer, it is easy to see that he is mostly a heightened version of stereotypes from spy movies, most notably James Bond. While, Archer would have no problem telling you he’s a loudmouth, secret agent, heavily drinking, womanizer, he’d probably also tell you the main influence in his life is actually Burt Reynolds. So it was a brilliant idea for writer/creator Adam Reed to introduce Reynolds into the world of Archer in this third season premiere. read more
