‘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.
