Check These Interesting Observations That Fans Are Making In ‘Archive 81’ On Netflix

Not even days after its release, Archive 81 quickly gained popularity like no
other. This show replaced Cobra Kai, a long-time fan favorite in no time to
become the number one title in top 10 lists. With viewership such as this, it
isn’t quite a shock when we realize the show is all over social media.


WHAT IS ARCHIVE 81 ABOUT?

The description Netflix [https://netflixjunkie.com/category/news/] gave this
show says “An archivist takes a job restoring damaged videotapes and gets pulled
into the vortex of a mystery involving the missing director and a demonic cult.”

Loosely based on a fan-favorite podcast, Archive 81 features Mamoudou Athie as
Daniel Turner and Dina Shihabi as Melody Pendras. Each episode of the season
ends with a cliffhanger, with the final surpassing them all. Not only does this
make for a great binge watch but also sets the show up for a potential season 2
in the best possible manner.

With all this in mind, it’s not a shock that the fans consumed the show as soon
as they could and began raving about it on social media.

Here are some of the best observations we have found about Archive 81 so far:

From the separate poster the corgi in Cowboy Bebop got to the love fans have for
Geralt’s horse Roach in The Witcher, it is a universally accepted fact that
humans have a soft little corner for animals, especially dogs. When showrunners
weren’t giving details of Cleo, the adorable Golden Retriever, fans were not
very happy, to say the least.

There’s a reason we’ve been saying “loosely based” in reference to the Archive
81 podcasts. The series made many changes from the original podcast that viewers
weren’t fans of.

Think of the last time you came across an LGBTQ+ protagonist without the film or
series being labeled so. Despite the slowly increasing representation of the
queer community, there really isn’t much of it in mainstream media. When Netflix
announced Archive 81 [https://www.netflix.com/title/80222802], fans looked
forward to seeing the podcast as it were.

While the showrunners had the choice to make changes according to their
preferences, making a queer character straight certainly wasn’t the best
decision to make, according to the fans.
