View Details Show More Episodes Critic Reviews for Archer Season 5 All Critics (12) | Top Critics (3) | Fresh (12) | Rotten (0) This new season has been reassuring proof that Archer can explore new territory while remaining true to itself. Jan 30, 2014 | Full Review… Alison Willmore indieWire Top Critic It's still reliably dirty... but in the service of something much grimier and at once totally fresh. It's also very, very funny. Jan 22, 2014 | Full Review… Andy Greenwald Grantland Top Critic Everything that makes the show great continues to hum along at full force-namely, its characters and the way any member of Archer's ensemble can bounce off of any other member with glorious ease. Jan 13, 2014 | Rating: A- | Full Review… David Sims AV Club Top Critic The plots are perfunctory. The premise is beside the point. Archer just has funny characters, and trusts that their innate hilarity will keep people's attention. Oct 19, 2018 | Full Review… Stephen Marche Esquire Magazine A rare, but refreshing move for an animated series... Jun 12, 2018 | Full Review… Kevin Fitzpatrick ScreenCrush [Rebooting] gives the series new life. Not that it was floundering at all, but there was a certain circuitousness to the plotlines that Archer Vice not only interrupts, but short-circuits completely. Jan 27, 2014 | Rating: 7/10 | Full Review… Jim Scott Under the Radar The episode succeeded in assuring fans things won't really change all that much, and the show is in the right hands. Jan 20, 2014 | Rating: 8.8/10 | Full Review… Carlo Sobral Paste Magazine 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. Jan 15, 2014 | Rating: 8/10 | Full Review… Mike Ward PopMatters You already had me hooked, Archer; just don't make such a desperate sales pitch at me anymore and I'm sure we will still be cool. Jan 14, 2014 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… Kyle Schmidlin What Culture Kudos to Adam Reed and friends for not being afraid of change and keeping things fresh. Jan 14, 2014 | Rating: 4.8/5 | Full Review… Robin Harry TV Fanatic Packed with its usual share of action and comedy, Archer's refresh injects some welcome energy into the adrenaline-fueled animated series as it continues to be one of the funniest shows on TV. Jan 13, 2014 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Jessica Johnson Time Out Chicago Archer is defiantly silly but it is so in a way that people could easily underestimate. In other words, it takes smart people to write characters this gloriously dumb. Jan 13, 2014 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review… Brian Tallerico HollywoodChicago.com View All Critic Reviews (12) Audience Reviews for Archer: Season 5 Apr 10, 2020 Excellent, pure archer Richard R Oct 05, 2019 The 5th season starts off with an extremely promising first episode that changes up the game for our beloved characters and ends with an insanely hilarious, gut-busting and exciting montage, but even after the great thrill when we realize that much of what was shown in the montage will, indeed, happen, it simply isn't as funny when played out over multiple episodes and arcs. That isn't to say it wasn't entertaining, just not as much as the previous seasons. I will say, however, that the show did benefit from changing up its formula, as if it had continued its seemingly perfect structure of the first four seasons things would definitely have gone a little stale. This was a necessary landmark for the show to segue into the better seasons of 6 and especially 7, as well as the first time the creators started experimenting with different styles and formats. Charles L Sep 02, 2019 One of the best animated series ever! Just like the old gypsy lady told me. Jason R Jan 02, 2019 Excellent comedy. The entire cast is a talented set of voices and the artwork is entertaining. The relationships are constantly surprising and entertaining. A must watch for the mature adult who doesn't want to be too mature. This is the first introduction of a character that I don't care for, but the actor is one I do like. It almost feels like an attempt to redo Odin with another approach. Still excellent. Anonymous User Jul 02, 2018 One Of The only TV series That can actually change the whole plot in a season and Be as goOd as ever Jan 17, 2018 Ambitiously turning Season 5 into an entirely new concept appropriately titled 'Archer: Vice', Archer continues to prove itself and one of the smartest and ambitious comedies on TV. Alex S Jul 16, 2017 An adult orientated comedy that, as soon as the episode is finished, you can't wait to see the next one. AJ F Mar 17, 2017 Season 5 explores other settings and shakes up the status quo a bit with seamless ease. Vasco M Jan 22, 2016 Amazing characters, long story, and writing. Wow! Sedi D Sep 21, 2015 Though intermediately funny, with Season 5, Archer loses its momentum when it tries to deliver too many changes to a proven formula.
