Title: Archer Season 8
Post by: Ben on May 26, 2017, 04:33:14 PM

Season 8 was pretty darn good. But what the hell man? Only eight episodes.

Dreamland was only 8 episodes?

WFT?

They're turning it into a BBC show or something.

Yup, they average like 23min, but I think that includes the ads on either end (I watch them on Amazon).

I've noticed more and more shows going this route. I was getting used to 13 or so, but eight really is getting British. Though I've been watching some Korean and Chinese subtitled series on Netflix, and they all run 6-10 episodes as well.

All hard to get used to for a guy who grew up watching series that literally ran 2/3 of the year. I understand some cutting down. Justified and Longmire both did/do get a lot done in a dozen episodes, but single digits is a little irritating to me. :)

No one mentioned Archer's line invoking John Moses Browning?

Dudes.

Hey, didn't want to spoil it.  :laugh:

Given that most of the people involved with that show are way left, I was surprised (in a good way) that they even knew the reference, let alone used it.
