Archer

Season 1 was very satisfying to watch. True, there were a few dull moments, most of them in the weaker Episode 8, but otherwise it was great fun. The creators used the kind of humor that most people avoid, namely the politically incorrect kind, with which they immediately won me over. The amoral, constantly wisecracking Sterling Archer (Duchess) instantly became one of my favorite animated characters. (19.11.2018)

I was expecting anything, but nevertheless, the first episode surprised me. The main protagonist, Sterling Archer, must be a nightmare for every die-hard feminist. Even to me, he seemed incredibly self-centered jerk.. and I used to be a guy :-) Anyway, it was a great fun and I am looking forward to the next development. (18.11.2018)

The second episode was great, the creators of the series excellently dig into "forbidden" topics and send political correctness exactly where many politicians and other sunny enthusiasts do not see the sun. Moreover, there was also a lesson, I never knew that a living priestess of love is a prostitute, but only a brush once dead. (18.11.2018)

The arrival of Agent Conway Stern on the scene nicely stirred up the plot of the third episode. Sterling Archer's logical processes were amazing when Sterling is circumcised, and yet he is not Jewish, why couldn't he be a non-Jewish circumcised person, right? :-) The creators are currently doing a great job entertaining me, I hope they will continue in that.

Honestly, Mr. Utne was somewhat of a damper on the humor and the fourth episode didn't brighten me up as much as the previous two episodes did. However, there were as many ways of death prepared as if Rasputin was attending a dinner. A slightly weaker piece, but still of good quality. (19.11.2018)

It looked like I would rate it with four stars for a long time, but then there was an unexpected understanding between Sterling and his target, Archer's butler proved to be an extremely sociable individual, and even the duo of homosexual killers helped push the plot forward to the fifth piece. 5* (19.11.2018)

The sixth episode started quite inconspicuously with a task to obtain a shipment of guided missiles and Cyril's internal struggle (jealousy, insecurity, and low self-esteem), but quickly escalated into a relationship chaos, explosions of sexuality, and in one case, a rather perverted affair with a spoon. (19.11.2018)

Although the episode did not take place on a yacht, but on a luxurious airship, the creators returned to the proven approach from the previous installment and once again created a fantastic entanglement of relationships. I can't help it, but after every episode, I enjoy imagining how all the self-proclaimed moralists must squirm while watching the series. (19.11.2018)

There was a strike of support staff in ISIS, and the idea itself wasn't bad, but the execution didn't please me too much; so far, it has been the weakest episode. The creators focused on the strike in such a way that they somewhat overshadowed the main entertaining characters and thus the humor as well. (19.11.2018)

Fuj, I'm relieved! After the last weaker episode, another very high-quality episode came. Sterling and Lana returned to the center of the action again and it was noticeable. The humor immediately jumped to a higher level, the awkward moments disappeared, and I had a great time again. If Archer makes my diaphragm hurt, it must be from full-on laughter. (19.11.2018)

Even the final episode did not disappoint me, the opening was worth it, the ban on workplace relationships (but only from Friday) was excellent, Lana's confrontation with treacherous Cyril was even better, and Pam finally got what she deserved (off-screen - fortunately). The final understanding between mother and son was of good quality :-) (19.11.2018)

I was worried that after Season 1 someone would consider the incorrect humor to be way out of line and tone it down, but nothing of the sort happened. On the contrary, the cancer episodes went even further and were excellent :-) So I don’t need to worry about Season 3, I'm just looking forward to it. Everything I liked about the first season was there and a few great ideas were added, so five stars it is. (21.11.2018)

Snow-covered Swiss Alps, frantic snow scooter chases, even more frantic shooting, Jacuzzi orgies, and a sixteen-year-old virgin nymphomaniac - what more can a person ask for from a twenty-minute episode of an animated series? Only a generous portion of politically incorrect humor, but that was also not lacking, so clearly a full score. (19.11.2018)

A complete departure from the first episode, with much less action, yet it kept me entertained the whole time. Dr. Krieger is quickly becoming one of my favorite characters. If it were up to me, I'd definitely give him more screen time. (21.11.2018)

I was a bit on the fence with this episode — it didn't quite grab me. I was leaning towards a solid three stars, but the twist with the blood sample swap, and especially Cyril enjoying himself even while unconscious, bumped my rating up a notch. (21.11.2018)

Objectively, the fourth episode was a bit weaker. The opening scene on the plane was hilarious, the budget cuts had me laughing, and Lana's monologue about dry ice caught me off guard, even though I'm from a mining region. (21.11.2018)

Quite a different episode. It wasn't really about ISIS; instead, it focused almost entirely on Woodhouse and his memories of the Great War, which sometimes reminded me of Legends of the Fall. Since I read several Biggles books as a kid, I can't rate this one lower than four stars. (21.11.2018)

A great episode. I honestly can't see how ISIS could function with brainiacs like Sterling and Cyril in their ranks. For some reason, I kept expecting a Nespresso ad the whole time. (21.11.2018)

I won’t lie, despite plenty of action, I didn’t enjoy this episode as much as I expected. I was ready to give it just three stars until the very end. But that mumbled conclusion really made me laugh. 4* (21.11.2018)

The dark humor had the cynic in me purring with delight. Filmmakers often use this topic to tug at the viewers' heartstrings, so this episode was a refreshing breath of air in an otherwise stale landscape. The standout line was definitely, "Did I mention I have cancer?" and the phone calls with the doctor were perfect. (21.11.2018)
