Episode 1 / Production #701 - "The Figgis Agency" (Airs March 31, 10:00 pm e/p) - Archer breaks into a mansion to restore the honor of a Hollywood starlet. Written by Adam Reed.
This was supposed to move to FXX, but it is staying on FX.
This season shifts to a private eye show.

This review has me excited, since it mentions how it's a return to form after 2 weaker seasons.

So glad to have this show back, but I found the season premiere to be rather weak. Hopefully it's just to set up this season's private detective agency motif.

Yeah, first episode was just ok to me. Didn't like or really get the "payoff" at the end either. Falling off the cliff stuff was pretty good though.

Agreed, it wasn't the greatest episode.
Not sure what you didn't get about the end. They 'retrieved' the video for an impostor, who will no doubt try to blackmail the real Veronica Dean.

I guess it was just so abrupt and obvious that I thought there had to be a better joke or more interesting plot device then that.

I think it's just that they were so arrogant about their work, yet so easily fooled in the most basic manner.

Just got around to watching this one.
Yes, this episode was much funnier!

Second episode was a big improvement, and I'm really glad this didn't turn into a season-long storyline.

I'm not really feeling this season yet. I think they need to spread the characters out and mix things up a bit. Having them all working the same case, often sitting in the same room for much of the episode, makes the characters all seem a bit flat. Like they are all just sitting around, in the established roles, waiting to deliver their punchlines.

FFS. Even 13 seems like too few episodes. Why would they cut it back to 10?

I'm pretty sure it's because it's getting harder and harder to write new episodes that feel fresh and not treading the same ground.
