    And we're off and running with another season of great animation, skillful voice acting and hilariously foul-mouthed fun.

    Archer proves exactly why it's been so great since the beginning: Smart writing, great voice cast, cool animation and, just so you understand, still more smart writing.

    Good start to the third season, and from what I sampled, it builds from there.

    A spoofy, sarcastic and hilarious exercise in adult animation.

    The animation remains a little crude, but the show is at least trying to be a bit more dynamic in its action sequences this year. And the roughness contributes to the comedy.

    I think its jokes are predictable and its '60s-era styling is tired.

    So far Archer season 3 has been sub-par compared to the first 2 amazing seasons. The first season was hilarious, and the during the second season i literally couldnt stay on the couch because i was always rolling on the floor laughing, but so far with season 3, it's just not to the level of season 2. Am i saying its bad? God no, Archer is still Archer, just not as good as the first 2 seasons. Hopefully the second half of the season will improve. 7.5/10… Full Review »

    As good as the previous season imo but not as good as the first. Once again, I'd love to see the secondary characters get more of a backstory because I am sure it'd be hilarious. Archer is a good lead character but he gets old after a while, Add in other characters to the story would spice things up and keep it fresh. Other then that, It's simply an enjoyable show.… Full Review »
