Jan 14, 2013

Archer is a wonder in that its most fiercely flawed characters are its inextinguishable heroes, and their stylized comeuppance arrives in ways that are perpetually unpredictable and altogether resonant within the show's singular, emotionally unhinged universe. Read full review

Outrageous lewdness and delightful non sequiturs speed by, which makes each episode rewardingly rewatchable. Read full review

Archer, meanwhile, is all about the funny, and kicks off its fourth season of deranged spy parody. Read full review

Jan 17, 2013

Even though Archer does occasionally overwhelm its sharp wit with violent fight sequences or simplistic shocks, it usually recovers with a one-two punch of cool animation and skillful wordplay. Read full review

Awesome and hilarious. This season proves that Archer is still the funniest animated show. There's even a good plot. Instead of just firing jokes, the season tells a story in a hilarious way.

Not one of the shows characters should be likeable...yet they all have such good diversity in there shortcomings that material feels effortless and viscous. The wordplay is both sophisticated and immature which appeals to both the child and adult in all of us...

Three seasons later, Archer's still got it. Sterling and the other lovable and zany agents of Isis return and are as funny as ever. Expect many, many cameos and homages (including a great "Bob's Burgers" nod).

A well-knitted season with too many loose ends. The humour quickly becomes repetitive and relies too much on the foundations developed throughout earlier seasons.
