The biggies
Archer (FXX, Wednesday, 10 p.m.)
It’s almost the end of the road for Archer as the series starts its 14th and final season. Adam Reed’s adult-animated gem about dysfunctional secret agents has been a bedrock of FX’s comedy lineup since 2009, earning four Emmys along the way. H. Jon Benjamin, Judy Greer, Aisha Tyler, Lucky Yates, and Chris Parnell co-star. Look out for The A.V. Club’s review of the season and other coverage of the show on the site this week.
One Piece (Netflix, Thursday, 3:01 a.m.)
It’s a good time to be a fan of One Piece, the ongoing Japanese manga that debuted in 1997. Eiichiro Oda’s creation finally gets a live-action adaptation, thanks to Netflix. The series follows the Straw Hat Pirates as they explore dangerous oceans and lands in search of the titular treasure. But they face competition from other crews and the Navy. The A.V. Club’s review of the first season publishes next week.
