I didn't like the more serious tone Dreamland seemed to have, I mean it had a few jokes, but it really felt like they were holding back. I would like to see a final season with the original premise, but I get why they don't do that.

Turtlicious posted:... but it really felt like they were holding back. I feel the exact same way, only about both S7 and S8. For whatever reason both feel like they were written by a team of people who didn't know if they'd be renewed or not (pretty sure they actually didn't know while producing S7?). It was as if the overall plot consensus for S7 was just to make sure there were no lasting consequences for future episode/season possibilities. I know technically Archer croaks in the pool at the end of S7 (or at least something that looks like him does), but they have so much exposition and escape routes available to them that they can explain it away very easily if they choose to. That "first do no harm to the brand" mentality feels like it leeched over into S8. It's become much more cookie cutter and less witty banter, to the point now Archer himself feels like a shell of what he once was. It feels like he's lost a lot of what used to make him, him.

New jokes in a six year old show aren't the same as the old ones?? How is this possible!

Every season is good in its own way. The first two are the classics though.

If you care about the story of Archer, you can just watch up to season 7 and stop. If you want more jokes, I guess you can stop at 7 as well. Season 8 has nothing to do with the rest of the show and there aren't even all that many jokes. It's just Archer in a 40s noir setting.

If you're the kind of person to usually treat "tried something new" as a merit on its own, like me, you'll like the latest season. If you're the kind of person to see "tried something new" a disappointment, you'll dislike it. Otherwise, 50/50 chance. Consult table 23

I'm the kind of person who watches Archer for the laughs. The setting doesn't really matter as long as the writing is solid.

Yeah, I mean some episodes will make me laugh harder or more often, but every episode has made me laugh. That's pretty good. My favorite moment is from my least favorite season (Archer Vice) with the "eat a dick jungle" jeep crash. Favorite episode is still Placebo Effect from season 2 (RRAAAAMMMPPAAAAGEE!)
