Archer
Archer just finished its second season on FX, and it’s kind of difficult to cover. Some episodes play into the typical spy conventions, using double agents and really poor shooting by guards. Other times, the show actively subverts those expectations. Cyril mentions that the spy genre has to be worn out, doesn’t it? In season two, we’ve seen a lot of character development episodes, often featuring short flashbacks. Other times, it settles into typical office comedy, playing off the relationships that develop during the flashback episodes and never leaving the office. Then there’s the stock sitcom plot episodes, like when Archer gets cancer.
But the constant is: it’s really funny.
