Archer Vice

Archer season 5 opened to its best ratings ever on Monday night for FX.  The show also went thru a reboot of sorts as the ISIS spy agency was shut down by the government so now the crew has turned into a drug cartel to sale all the drugs they have acquired thru the years.

The show will now shift tone from 60s/70s-era Bond inspired espionage to 1980s "Miami Vice"/"Scarface" style drug trafficking. Even so, it's the same show with the same characters and the same dark workplace comedy.  The already teased "Top Gun"-themed "Danger Zone" episode is scheduled to air on February 17th.  They also teased a good looking Smokey and the Bandit episode where Archer is dressed as The Bandit and Pam is The Snowman as they race around in a 1977 Pontiac Trans Am.  Looks like a fun season!
