Archer meets “Space Pirates,” while Gina Torres meets Chicago politics
Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Wednesday, July 17. All times are Eastern.
Top pick
Archer (FXX, 10 p.m.): There are titles, and then there are titles. One example of the latter: “Space Pirates.”
Granted, pretty much every action- or horror-adjacent space story has some sort of character who could be called a “space pirate” involved. It’s like Dungeons & Dragons and the term “murder tourist”—it’s just accurate. Still, that doesn’t diminish our enthusiasm for tonight’s Archer: 1999, written by Kelly Galuska of Big Mouth and BoJack Horseman. Bring on the space pirates, and the space static, and all the other space things, along with William Hughes’ recap.
