Warning! The following contains spoilers from the Rooster episode "All The Dogs' Names." Stream it with an HBO Max subscription, and read at your own risk!
HBO's Rooster has a ton of likable characters, but it's fair to say that Phil Dunster's Archie is not one of them. From cheating on his wife, Katie, with his student, Sunny, to cheating on the pregnant Sunny with Katie, it's hard to like anything about him. That's why it pains me to say that as the series reaches its back half amid the 2026 TV schedule, series co-creator Bill Lawrence and co. finally made me respect Archie for a major reason. However, I wonder how long it'll last.
