This animated series for adults said goodbye after 14 seasons of good and loyal service. It is available in France on Netflix.
Launched in 2009 in the United States, Archer has enjoyed quite exceptional longevity. This animated series for adults takes place within an international spy agency, whose highly trained agents are constantly destabilizing, humiliating and deceiving their colleagues. With in mind, a certain Sterling Archer who can be compared quite easily to Hubert Bonisseur de la Bath (Jean Dujardin) from OSS 117.
Archer ended on the other side of the Atlantic after 14 seasons, the last of which is already available on Netflix. Despite rave reviews and a rating on AlloCiné (quite exceptional) of 4.3/5, it is one of his productions which has gone somewhat unnoticed in France.
The 25 best animated series of all time according to AlloCiné viewers
It must be said that its style of animation borrowed from 1950s spy films with its dark features as well as its caustic and sometimes gritty humor does not appeal to everyone. Add to that a detestable hero (and not just with women) who doesn’t show finesse, and you will have lost yet another part of the spectators. Archer aficionados, for their part, highlight a hilarious and high-quality series that absolutely should not be missed.
If you missed this series, then there’s always time to catch up. If its longevity can be scary, know that each episode of Archer only lasts 20 minutes and that each season has an average of 10 (between 8 and 13, to be more precise).
