That seventh season promo of the Magnum P.I. opening remade a la Archer was perfect and dovetailed nicely with Cyril opening a P.I. agency. And maybe no effort could've possibly lived up to that. To be perfectly honest, this season felt like pure wheel-spinning and kind of a waste of the L.A. setting potential. To say it never went anywhere isn't the whole problem; Krieger, Cheryl, Ray and Pam(!) felt underused. And that's a real crime. The guest stars (Keegan-Michael Key, Patton Oswalt and especially J.K. Simmons) were all highlights, and same for the running gag of the Magnum Ferrari never actually running.
Look, any Archer's better than most TV, but this paled in comparison to prior seasons. And I feel kinda bad saying that, but the tease was so much better.
6/10
