‘Archer’ returns
HBO
Not that kind of girl.
By MATT BARNAUSKAS
Daily Arts Writer
The last season of “Archer”
went for a game changer, bucking
the traditional super spy farce in
exchange
for
its cast of char-
acters entering
the
criminal
world
where
they
peddled
cocaine,
sold
firearms
and
entered
the
“outlaw” coun-
try music busi-
ness. The aptly
titled “Archer:
Vice”
announced
a
dramatic
change in the life of the Adam
Reed (“Sealab 2021”) created
series. However, with the sea-
son six premiere, “The Holdout,”
the show returns to its espionage
roots. The result is an abruptly
humorous return as characters
readjust to the status quo.
Of course things have changed
drastically for the series’ title
character (voiced by H. Jon Ben-
jamin, “Bob’s Burgers”) who now
finds himself the biological father
of fellow agent Lana Kane’s (Aisha
Tyler, “Whose Line Is It Anyway”)
newborn daughter, Abijean. This
is after Lana, unannounced, used
Archer’s “goop.” In typical fash-
ion, Archer avoids responsibility
until he’s called back into action.
The spy mission of the week
leaves Archer stranded in Borneo
where he’s forced to team up with
a WWII Japanese soldier, Kintaru
Sato (Togo Igawa, “Memoirs of
a Geisha”), who has spent years
ignorant of the end of the war.
The first confrontation between
the two is an incredibly well-ani-
mated sequence as the two duel in
the jungle. The sequence presents
possibly some of the best anima-
tion the series has seen and speaks
volumes to how much the show
has improved technically from its
initial seasons.
Reed’s writing remains top-
notch, with the dynamic between
Archer and Sato being particular-
ly strong, as the duty-bound Sato
reprimands Archer, “You cannot
shirk your duty.” “Yes I can I do
it all the time!” is Archer’s unsur-
prising response. However, the arc
presents a surprisingly emotional
turn for the episode as Sato, who
has missed seeing his own family
grow up, challenges Archer’s fears
of parenthood and forces the spy
to confront his reluctance to grow
up. The poignant story still brings
humor with the series’ quotable
one-liners. Archer tells the jungle
to “eat a buffet of dicks” and a mix
of candy and painkillers coined
“Mike and Vics” — all particular
standouts.
The episode’s subplot about the
rest of the cast’s return to their
spy agency (formerly known as
ISIS, but changed for obvious
reasons) provides some self-ref-
erential comedy. The renovation
of the agency’s office by Cheryl
(Judy Greer, “Married”) and Pam
(Amber Nash, “Frisky Dingo”) is
incredibly clever as they reveal
the great lengths they’ve taken to
return everything to the original
before the office was destroyed,
all the way down to the bloodstain
on the carpet. Mallory Archer’s
(Jessica Walter, “Arrested Devel-
opment”) despair after seeing the
hologram of a futuristic office fade
away to Cold War-era technology
and Cheryl’s glee at her expense
are fantastic. The drastic return to
normalcy seems like Reed laugh-
ing at critics who initially called
for change and reacted poorly to
“Vice.”
Characters themselves have
physically returned to normal-
cy: Pam addresses the return of
her weight after slimming down
due to a cocaine addiction, as
filling a hole in her life saying,
“Some people fill it with drugs.
Some fill it with work. Some fill
it with between meal snacks,
liquor
and
their
therapist’s
cock.” But it still remains uncer-
tain whether Krieger (Lucky
Yates, “Frisky Dingo”) is or isn’t
a clone from last season’s finale.
“I’m not a huge fan of
change,” Archer declares at the
end of the episode. “Archer”
may be returning to well-worn
territory but its humor remains
as sharp as ever with its strong
sense of self-awareness. Mean-
while, there is enough chance
for
development
that
some
characters of “Archer” will have
to face their shifting circum-
stances, making this return a
welcome one.

WHAT’S NEW ON
‘Girls’ brings back
lovable dysfunction
By CATHERINE SULPIZIO
Senior Arts Editor
Much of early “Girls” ’s ter-
rain was traversing through its
characters’ most cringe-worthy
stages
—
those chunks
of
life
you
mentally
block out and
wonder how
you had any
friends. If you
experience
vicarious
embarrass-
ment, the first
three seasons of HBO’s polar-
izing show were not for you.
Between Hannah’s (Lena Dun-
ham, “Tiny Furniture”) rape
joke (at an interview, no less),
Shoshanna’s (Zosia Mamet,
“Mad Men”) bevy of bad
haircuts and Marnie’s (Allison
Williams, “Peter Pan”) graceless
career swan dive, Jessa (Jemima
Kirke) was the only girl left un-
shredded by the camera’s merci-
less gaze (which had a lot to do
with her lack of storyline). But
somewhere in early-mid season
three, the show pivoted a few
degrees: Hannah got a respect-
able job that didn’t involve doing
coke for bylines, Shosh experi-
enced heartbreak and Marnie’s
lifetime purchase of “pretty girl
privilege” finally started seeing
a return, but now with a dose of
real person struggle. The girls
grew up, and so did the show —
richening as the always-excel-
lent comedy widened its genre’s
grooves.
But the first episode of sea-
son four’s modus operandi is to
show that the more you change,
the more things stay the same.
It opens with Hannah and her
parents at the same restaurant
the series pilot opened on, and,
against all odds, Hannah is
moving closer to being “a voice
of her generation.”
Part of the reason “Girls”
remains
such
an
addictive
show to a certain type of viewer
(including this very writer) is
that it replicates and exacer-
bates the necessary hardships
of being a young adult: sure,
you have a better sense of who
you want to be than you did in
high school, and probably early
college, but this newly found
sense of self collides with the
real world. Great, you want to
be a writer? Well, how badly?
Enough to move to the Midwest,
and give up the nest of friends
and co-workers and frenemies
you’ve spent years building,
enough to crumple up that
assemblage of regional-trivia
that keeps you sane: Which
subway exit to leave from, what
time the bodega closes if you run
out of toilet paper, what time
your annoying neighbor leaves
for work so you can avoid him …
that loosely held-together con-
stellation called your life? And
it’s during this jarring time that
you realize that other things —
the things harder to collect and
compile, that feel like bodily
appendages — like long, deep,
important relationships, aren’t
always portable, they grind to a
stop even after you keep moving.
It’s here where Adam (Adam
Driver, “Frances Ha”) and Han-
nah’s relationship is achingly
real to anyone anxious and neu-
rotic and obsessive (hi, writers!)
who hates to work without a
plan. Adam, for all his patholo-
gy, doesn’t worry; he glides into
his acting career with little of
the self-destroying pathos Han-
nah finds her writing from. So
we can see the alarm bells going
off when he says, “With cell
phones and modern communi-
cation we’re gonna talk, like, 10
times tomorrow.” I beg to dis-
agree, Adam, but I do predict
this show will explore just how
fragile a cradle “cell phones and
modern communication” are for
Hannah and Adam’s relation-
ship.
Speaking of fragile (wow, what
a segue), Marnie’s presence in
this episode shows how drasti-
cally she has changed over the
seasons. Sure, Marnie is screw-
ing Desi and exuding the same
hyper-calculated façade since sea-
son one, but Desi’s tongue (Ebon
Moss-Bachrach, “The Royal Ten-
nenbaums”) is up her ass and she’s
unafraid to break down after a
pack of brats in the SoHo brunch
spot she’s singing at ruins her per-
formance. This Marnie has been
beaten down so much, that this
new vulnerability is etched all
over her face.
Where Marnie finds grace from
her sincerity, Jessa is sinking down
from her mythic cloud. For most
of “Girls,” Jessa has been the cool
girl: even when she is struggling
with a cocaine addiction, we’re
noticing how fucking cool her
rehab wardrobe is and wondering
why our (hypothetical) benders
were never with British hotelier
silver foxes. There has never been
a single crack in the flawless façade
that is Jemima Kirke. And, as it
turns out, it isn’t another depraved
weekend that cracks her, but a
steady dose of normalcy, the nine
to five job. In this episode, Jessa
doesn’t arrive swathed in a blanket
of glamour, and damn, is it nice to
see. I’m looking forward to seeing
what happens after Beadie (Lou-
ise Lasser, “Mary Hartman, Mary
Hartman”) leaves for Connecticut
— while Jessa has instability writ-
ten into her DNA, the writing has
not aided in giving her a narrative
direction. It seemed like every
time the show gave her a chan-
nel (a new job, a husband, rehab)
it buckled quickly or was tossed
aside without much analysis.
Shoshanna doesn’t have much
in this episode except a new bob
and a perfectly pitched perfor-
mance by her divorced parents
(Ana Gasteyer, “Saturday Night
Live” and Anthony Edwards,
“E.R.”), who are both named Mel
(doesn’t that explain everything?).
Regardless, “Girls” has been my
favorite 20 minutes of 2015. I’m
not sure if that’s a testament to
Lena’s brilliance or my lackluster
year, but I’m just glad to have the
voice of our generation back again
this Sunday.
