Answering their own question about Dr. Dean Archer’s character progression on the “Chicago Med” subreddit noted above, the OP wrote that they felt the doc was truly obnoxious in both Seasons 6 and 7 but that his behavior got some explanatory backstory in Season 8. Still, they concluded, “Those cheap, condescending ‘compliments’ he gives to literally everyone in the ED is insufferable to watch lol.” One fan appeared to share this unflattering opinion, writing, “I completely agree! I hate his character,” and u/Psychological_Tap839 piled on the anti-Archer train to say, “I can’t stand him.”
Taking a somewhat more measured approach to the Archer issue, u/readitpaige joined in to say, “I don’t think he was supposed to be around this long, but when Brian Tee [who plays Dr. Ethan Choi] left, he decided to stay.” As a result, they add that they feel Archer’s development is only now being actively explored and that the writers “are finally developing his character/having to flesh out character traits and background story they didn’t think they’d have to.” Meanwhile, u/LurkNoMoreNY also feels like Archer’s character has finally started to show signs of development more recently, posting, “I feel like last episode they laid the groundwork for him changing. I don’t think he will ever be warm & fuzzy but he is becoming more nuanced & layered.”
