This show is hilarious, mainly because of the characters. Archer is a narcissistic prick who never takes anything seriously, so it usually leads to a lot of irrelevant ridiculous conversations happening in the middle of gunfight. Lana is his ex girlfriend and partner, and absolutely hates his guts. He spends all of his time trying to annoy her. Despite being renowned as a world class spy, he's often drunk, not paying attention, or paying copious amounts of ISIS funds on personal splurges. The only reason he's even employed is because his mother owns ISIS, a completely immoral, manipulative rich old woman with a drinking problem. Then there's Pam, the fat dorky HR chick who drag races with the yakuza and fights in underground fight clubs. And Cyril, the nerdy accountant, Carol, the masochistic billionaire secretary who's practically psychotic. And Krieger, the perverted, possibly necrofeliac tech guy with his own virtual Japanese hologram girlfriend.
And as if that wasn't enough there's also Barry, the psychotic Cyborg, the head of the KGB with a love affair with Archers Mother, Space Pirates, somolian pirates, flamboyantly gay hit men, a shitload of danger zone references, and a pet ocelot.
Also in the latest season, dubbed "Archer Vice", the entire team switches over to the dark side of espionage, with hilarious and dysfunctional results. This latest season deserves a 9, but i probably would have given the show overall an 8 had it not been the only one of its kind. It does make it into my top 5 favorite cartoons, with Family Guy, Metalocalypse and Superjail. I'm loving the latest episodes, and i'm extremely disappointed when they end, mainly because they're just not long enough, its like a snack that just makes you hungrier. I could go for another few hours of archer at least.
