Anyone eager to find out the fate of Sterling Archer should find more than enough distraction, as Reed and his team have crafted another fascinating experiment. What, exactly, this dream conveys remains a mystery, but it’s one we’re eager to solve. Read full review

This season largely succeeds due to its attention to details. The animation is great as always, the voice acting skilled, and the guest stars are magnificent. Read full review

Ken Tucker

This season of Archer has a great look: this cartoon version of film noir features richly dark blues, greens, and black, and the pacing has the hypnotic pull of a dream turning into a nightmare. Of course, this being Archer, it’s also loaded with lots of double- and single-entendres, and energetic vulgarity. Read full review

Rob Lowman

Apr 5, 2017

The series has always moved between clever parody and outright silliness, but this year Archer seems to be paying more attention to the plot along with the jokes. Read full review

David Hinckley

Apr 5, 2017

There’s still plenty of humor, always bending toward the absurd, and Archer’s time travel has not stripped him of his signature phrases, attitude or fondness for bourbon and wordplay. Read full review

Alex McLevy

Apr 5, 2017

It may not be delivering a hyper-speed barrage of jokes, but Archer: Dreamland is an inventive fever dream containing pleasures all its own. Read full review

Collider Chris Cabin

Apr 3, 2017

There’s no expansion or even mutation of the noir style beyond an increase in humor and a moderate amount of self-awareness, neither of which is strong enough to override how plodding and unadventurous this all feels. Read full review

This season was good. I really liked the noir theme and as always crazy stuff that happens from one episode to another. You shouldn't expect drastic changes, just time period and some background for characters is other. I enjoyed the change, music and tone of this season.

After 8 seasons you get a feel for what this show is. And this season has the same type of humour but with a new aesthetic and theme. It's a cool idea and worth watching but the humour won't surprise you in any way.

Viciously boring,a husk of it's former self. The characters seem to have the same personality with a twist that just doesn't fit. After the first two episodes, I find myself wanting to try and give it another look. Personally would rather watch the old episodes.

I love the show but this season really missed the mark for me it still had its typical humour but it felt very repetetive like seeing everything we have already seen but just.... in another setting this time in archers coma we have seen barry lose his limbs and become a cyborg so this feltI love the show but this season really missed the mark for me it still had its typical humour but it felt very repetetive like seeing everything we have already seen but just.... in another setting this time in archers coma we have seen barry lose his limbs and become a cyborg so this felt like a reboot of itself in a way but without reason but the ending was what really made me stop and wonder if i'm enjoying the show the way I used to I mean I didn't hate Archer Vice but it did still feel like "we have ran out of ideas we need to change the backdrop to the show" and this feels like the same again but even lazier, for the record I will still keep watching the show next season but I don't think i'll be revisiting Season 8 anytime soon.… Expand

First I must confess that I am an Archer-junkie. I've watched seasons 1-6 countless times (and season 7 couple times) during last few years and it's been glorious.

Now enter the season 8 - and it's just not all in there anymore. I guess the whole Dreamland theme gives writers differentFirst I must confess that I am an Archer-junkie. I've watched seasons 1-6 countless times (and season 7 couple times) during last few years and it's been glorious.

Now enter the season 8 - and it's just not all in there anymore. I guess the whole Dreamland theme gives writers different angle to show characters and new setting, but it seems to fall flat. All that is happening in Dreamland seems unimportant and unfunny and boring.

I'm still refusing to let go though! Hoping for Archer's miraculous recovery.… Expand

The first bad season of Archer. The humour just doesn't fit the setting. There's nothing new or different, It's just stale and boring. And having just 8 episodes is a real disservice to fans.
