    Yet even if the stories are somewhat stagnant, the writing remains laser sharp.

    Adam Reed--creator, showrunner, voice actor, and writer--seems to have composed Archer both as a love letter to douchebags and as a set of instructions for destroying them. Having a baby might be the final nail in the coffin. Then again, maybe not; Sterling’s the resilient type.

    The Emmy-nominated Archer is one of the most satisfying comedies of any sort, its densely packed jokes contrasting with the airy, assured confidence a show achieves when its characters seem so three-dimensionally real to their audience.

    Even as the series begins to show its age, Archer's commitment to character ensures that these episodes never feel too familiar.

    All the beloved Archer hallmarks are still there too; quick cuts, witty repartee, and recurring gags abound. But the premiere lacks that spark of kinetic insanity that made us fall in love with the slick spook in the first place. [9 Jan 2015, p.74]

    Archer took a slight drop from the previous seasons this year. After going changing the template all together for the fifth season the sixthArcher took a slight drop from the previous seasons this year. After going changing the template all together for the fifth season the sixth season brings the plot back to its original state. All the sarcasm the fans love will still there. I find that in this season they are adding a few unneeded characters. Christian Slater plays a more prominent role that is unnecessary and also the season is still pretty funny but I think the humour was on a decline from last season. However I did enjoy the finale and it leaves you unaware of where the gang are going next. I'll be tuning in for the next season.… Full Review »
