    The third, and what appears to be the final, season set inside the comatose mind of Sterling Archer season ten is its best. Taking the crew into outer space allows the writers to tell new stories and the jokes land more often than during the previous two seasons. This is still not quite the show at its very best but its good to see there is still life in this show yet.

    This season is the last of the Coma Trilogy, Set in space and a huge step up from the previous season. Although it does fade during the final episodes, It still ends up being a pretty decent season that saved the season was a potential cancellation.

    Archer 1999 is an improvement on Danger Island as it has tasks of the week as opposed to an overall arch storyline. The unfortunate part of this season, much like the show, is there is no energy or flare in the writing anymore and at times feels quite lazy despite the amazing animation.

    Finally, they are back to basics! Spy adventures are one of my favorites. Looking forward to season 11.

    Archer still has its moments, but it feels like it's running out of steam.

    This season takes place in a spacebound, sci-fi universe, but I ask what was the point? The last two alternate universe kept things interesting by having the characters put into new roles and the audience was kept guessing what happens next with the intertwining storylines. Here the characters are mostly back to their old dynamic: all working in a team in a series of mostly episodic plots. So, why does this need to be in space? Why not do just regular Archer universe episodes? Sure there are a couple neat ideas they couldn't do previously, especially the episode "Mr. Deadly," but overall the science fiction stuff isn't justified enough.

    The characters and the show's trademark back-and-forth digs and squabbles feel worn out by now. Not that there aren't any funny bits, but they aren't as common. Archer and Cheryl especially feel like caricatures of themselves. On the other hand, Krieger as an android produces a lot of fun material.

    The new setting does cause the animators to be more ambitious. This is definitely the best looking season of Archer.

    I'd still recommend this to Archer fans, but just don't expect the show's A-material.    … Expand

    Bleh. The "Dreamland" saga of seasons almost ruined this show for me so I'm glad that they're coming to an end. Season 10 is quite possibly the worst of the series, but I'm looking forward to the show bouncing back with season 11.

    Archer in space had much potential and I was a bit disappointed with the result.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Enjoyed the space aspect of the season very much. I thought the alien was a great addition. I didn't care for the season ending however. I thought the coma and a few other ending points were a let-down.… Expand

    My only gripe with Archer: 1999 is that there’s no bigger plot to the season; it’s just a collection of episodes that are loosely tied together through the space-travel setup. So while it was fun to watch the crew track down a xenomorph, battle in space gladiator combat, get addicted to psychotropic alien eggs, and fight their way out of a celestial mollusk, I wish they had some greater goal in mind.

    These are still the same characters we've laughed with dressed in other people’s movie clothes, save for Pam Poovey (Amber Nash), who is literally built like a rock in this 10th season. This just goes to prove that the best TV delights can put on any old clothing; as long as they remain true to the core of what makes us adore them, we’ll keep our eyes on them.

    “Archer: 1999” is another strong entry in an ever-developing series. The animation is stunning, as the shortened episode order (eight instead of 10) and release delay (FX has been giving the team an extra month or so for the past three seasons) accommodate brand new set and character designs, not to mention some snazzy VFX during the various space battles. The timing and jokes are still right on point.
