In the second episode of Archer's season, titled "Deadly Velvet," things take a dark turn on the set of the show within the show. As the title suggests, someone ends up dead, adding a thrilling twist to the storyline. The episode is filled with unexpected surprises and hilarious moments that keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
One of the highlights of this episode is the introduction of Krieger's robots, Milkly and Coply. Their interactions and the clever humor surrounding the Turing test and the opposite of the first law of robotics bring a nerdy charm to the show. The rapid-fire farce that follows their appearances adds to the overall enjoyment. Additionally, the writers play with the idea of Archer encountering his own double, resulting in amusing stunts and comedic moments.
While the murder mystery aspect of the episode didn't resonate as strongly, there are still plenty of laughs to be had. The ongoing storyline involving Veronica Dean turns out to be a letdown, as it is revealed to be just a big insurance scam and not a significant revelation or connection. However, the episode still manages to deliver a solid and entertaining plot despite this minor disappointment.
Overall, "Deadly Velvet" offers a significant improvement over the previous season. With funny moments, solid storytelling, and intriguing characters, Archer continues to captivate its audience. The episode leaves viewers eagerly anticipating what's to come in the rest of the season, with speculation about the future of the show and its beloved characters.
The episode was rated 8,12 from 1805 votes.
