Review of Archer

Archer (2009–2023)
9/10
This sly and knowing series is a pleasure to watch
18 April 2017
If someone had told me I would lust after a cartoon KGB agent, I would have said they were dreaming, but Katya had me with her first purr. And I was hooked into one of the most addictive and funny programs I've ever seen.

Key to it all is H. Jon Benjamin's voice as Sterling Archer, the most dangerous secret agent in the world. Somehow this series has created a full-blown character who is unbelievably real and familiar. Archer is even more vivid than any of the Bonds I've seen, even Sean Connery. That is truly amazing.

It's goofy fun that makes use of every spy trope there is. Archer is a consummate lover and master spy who takes crazy risks and works for his mother voiced by Jessica Walter (who has made an uncannily wise choice in taking up the role).

So far not one of the episodes has failed to made me laugh out loud. That's saying quite a lot.
