Throughout its seven seasons, the spy comedy “Archer” has remained as smart and sexy as anything on TV, thanks to creator Adam Reed, voice actor H. Jon Benjamin as suave yet incredibly lucky Sterling Archer (Bond meets Clouseau) and a graphic 2D animation style by Reed’s Atlanta-based studio, Floyd County Prods.
The result is the “Mad Men” of animation with a decidedly ’60s vibe. However, in the seventh season, Archer and the gang (a dysfunctional version of MI6) moved from New York to Hollywood after being banned by the CIA and opened a detective agency. Thus the series became more serialized with a framing device right out of “Sunset Boulevard,” and left us with a cliff-hanger worthy of “Game of Thrones.”

Hannibal, “Mizumono”
Written by Steve Lightfoot and Bryan Fuller
Directed by David Slade
Aired May 23rd, 2014
“I let you know me… see me. I gave you a rare gift, but you didn’t want it.” – Hannibal Lecter
If there’s such thing as arthouse television, Hannibal‘s second season is it, a thirteen-hour fever dream of blood, orchestral music, and psychological mind games. Above all, it was a cinematic tragedy, a symbolically-rich tale of a man courting the devil and (most likely) living to tell about it, set against the backdrop of television’s most arresting visual palette.
“Mizumono” is the sweet, sweet cherry on the top of Hannibal‘s breathtaking sophomore effort, a dramatic crescendo catalyzed by one small mistake made on Will’s part: leaving the scent of Freddie Lounds on himself before visiting Hannibal. When Lecter realizes what Will has done, his heart breaks and Hannibal dares...
