I finally finished Archer this week, and it’s got me thinking a lot about series finales. Archer came pretty close to a good one, although the plot of the last episode was a little wanting; I would have preferred Conway Stern to Slater as the villain; and while I was fine with not taking time to close Cheryl, Krieger, or Ray’s stories, I thought they owed us more closure for Cyril than we got. But a show like Archer can get away with those errors because even though it had more character growth and emotional stakes than most adult animation, it’s still just a vulgar farce at its core.
