The acting in Archie was pretty good. Jason Isaacs does a pretty good older Cary Grant, especially his mannerisms and way of speaking with an old Atlantic accent. The choice of background and interlude music at times was bizarre. When young Archie first came to NY, the background music was an odd, anachronistic beach-rock music. I'm not saying they should've played 1920s jazz, but music more appropriate to the periods would have been much better. There are numerous other anachronisms and scenes that are out of time order also (such as placing North by Northwest in 1961, and 'filming the crop scene in a studio, when it was filmed out on location), which are distractions to any viewer that knows something of Cary Grant's career. A decent show that could have been a lot better.
