Storyline

At ISIS, an international spy agency, global crises are merely opportunities for its highly trained employees to confuse, undermine, betray and royally screw each other. At the center of it all is suave master spy Sterling Archer, whose less-than-masculine code name is "Duchess." Archer works with his domineering mother Malory, who also is his boss. He also has to deal with his ex-girlfriend, Agent Lana Kane and her new boyfriend, ISIS comptroller Cyril Figgis, as well as Malory's lovesick secretary, Cheryl. Written by Anonymous

Trivia

One of the major plot lines in the series involves the the identity of Archer's father. Archer grew up believing that his father was a war hero named "John Fitzgerald Archer"; various events in season one suggest that his father may be Maj. Nikolai Jakov of the KGB, Len Drexler of rival spy agency ODIN, or band leader Buddy Rich (although Malory is pretty sure it's either Jakov or Drexler). She later mentions a fourth possibility in the 3rd season, and in the season $ episode "once bitten" an unknown man appears to archer in a flashback, claiming to be his father, potentially ruling out a fifth possibility.

Excellent show
1 October 2009 | by (Phoenix AZ,USA) – See all my reviews

I was a fan of the hit and miss show Sealab and later on Frisky Dingo which was less hit and miss and quite entertaining. If you like rank shows. I am also a fan of Venture Bros and I don't see how you cant draw the similarities between the two. I am also happy to see Jon Benjamin get some steady voice work and he was great in Dr Katz and Home Movies. I would recommend it to anyone to watch the first episode before making your judgment. This is the best pilot I have seen in a while and usually their pretty lame even on shows I think have promise.

The show involves a super spy whose boss happens to be his mother. He has an ex lover as a fellow spy that is currently dating some guy in accounting. You have a blabby HR lady and some other people thrown into the mix like a secretary who is in love with Archer. The situations and under the breath comments are laugh out loud to me and my friends. I can't wait for more.
