Pretty good chance after viewing the first episode of season 7, I'm done with the franchise. The last two seasons weren't great. The first episode of season 7 is giving me a depressing episode of jerks, everything sucks. There is no heart in the series, it sucks. Its repeats of old jokes. Do they have an original idea to use, not really.
At this point, its going to be a Bilibili.tv episode if someone says its good to view anything else.
You remember when Southpark did the manatee episode for family guy using random balls to write episodes? Yeah, the writers broke out an Excel spreadsheet and rolled a D100 to determine what to write as a script.
It sucks watching a franchise die, but its dead.
They made more after season 3?
This is like hearing Archer is still airing
It got fairly poor quickly after they added the women writers. The jokes aimed at the guys, nope. They did put in a selfcest with the daughter fucking herself, I guess that was supposed to be funny somehow?
It just went to a morally degenerate leftist high road depression fest of suck.
Dan Harmon sacrificed the writers’ room to the feminists in order to stave off his own metooing.
Yeah I watched the first episode of Season 3 and proceeded to never watch it again once I confirmed that they diversity-hired a shitload of women writers.
I'm not sure that's right. In season 2, the one with the tv showing shows from different dimensions, Morty tells Summer that he's not really her brother, and points to the graves outside. Also, the first episode came out months before the rest of season 3, so I think that this one episode was made before the arrival of the female writers, although I'm not 100% about that.
The one that made me lose interest in the series was the pickle Rick episode, that had the female psychiatrist that's somehow smarter than him, so much so that the only response the smartest man in the universe had against her were the equivalent of fart jokes to attack her personally, that one of the female writers openly said was her self-insert.
Edit: Small correction to the above. The episode in which Morty tells Summer about his grave is called "Rixty Minutes", and it's the 8th episode of the 1st season.
Pickle Rick was shockingly stupid. People convinced themselves to enjoy it ironically. Only someone retarded could have written that shit.
Peak self-awareness.
Archer turned into a total current-year shitshow with the latest season.
They introduced a new main character and of course it's an ethnic woman who is better at everything than everyone else. Brown girlboss time!
The Rotten Tomatoes score reflects that: 100% critic score, 40% audience.
I'm in the same boat as OP but with Archer: after viewing the first episode of season 14, I'm done with the franchise.
LAAAAANNAAAAAAAAAAA!
I stopped watching a couple of seasons back. First 3-4 seasons are still solid gold.
Honestly having it end in the gunshot before the coma seasons makes a great subversion ending, all his lifestyle and his tomfoolery cut short with a surprisingly realistic outcome
That new chick sucks. I do suspect she's the actual big bad villain of the story and is just roping the Agency around getting her affairs out of the way.
Archer might be one of the most hateable shows of the last 15 years. It's a kind of obnoxious unto itself.
Archer is still airing?
