What is Archer about?
Smart-mouthed superspy Sterling Archer and his dysfunctional team of secret agents turn dangerous missions into messy misadventures around the globe.
A dysfunctional spy agency bumbles through global missions with darkly comic, briskly paced, and witty banter.
Campy and pulpy, with dry wit. A late-night trip at a brisk pace. Emotionally it carries some weight.
Streaming on Hulu and Tubi (free).
