Archer "Training Day" #1,2 (2010) (TV)

"Oh, my god! You killed a hooker!", 30 March 2017

Episode 2, Training Day, is almost as good as the first episode. In this one, Malory is concerned that Lana may still have feelings for Archer. She decides that if Cyril were an actual agent, Lana might look at him differently. Cyril's training will be handled by Archer.

For a show that's less than 30 minutes in length, there's a lot going on here. Between Cyril's training, poison pens, underwear guns, Malory's allergic reaction to zucchini, Pam and Carol's health care selection, a dead hooker, and Lana shooting up Archer's car, there's plenty of action and hilarity. It all seems so random, but somehow goes together nicely to create a very funny episode. The flashback scene to Archer's childhood was a nice and unexpected touch. Because I didn't enjoy Training Day as much as Mole Hunt, so I'm rating this one a 7/10.

Favorite Moment: Archer and Cyril's discussion on hooker vs call girl. Funny stuff!

7/10
