It's funny. Because I started watching the show a month before I began reading the book, but Archie has always bothered me but I could never quite tell why. And now a couple of years on Archie clearly is my least favourite thing about the show, and I think I have to agree with you.

But on the other hand I think a friendless young Hornblower wouldn't have worked on TV, since you're not looking into his mind on the show. So the writers needed to introduce an external factor to humanise Hornblower, and they chose Archie. Yes, it does mean TV!Hornblower is fundamentally different from book!Hornblower, but book!Hornblower really wouldn't have worked as well on TV. Introducing Archie for the first episode was a brilliant idea. Only they really, really, REALLY shouldn't have brought him back after killing him off the first time.
