For the Russian viewer, cartoons are associated with something kind, fabulous, and childish. That was until the western animation made its way to our screens. The Simpsons, South Park and Futurama have shown how versatile and limitless the animation is. The series "Archer" holds this bar, and in some aspects raises it even higher.
The show tells about the difficult everyday life of the secret agency ISIS, whose employees are engaged in espionage, killing while trying to make money on this, because you need to stay afloat. Financial problems arise due to the wastefulness of the head of the agency, Mallory Archer, who is ready for anything for a luxurious life (betraying the country, becoming a lover of an ideological enemy, not raising the salaries of employees for several years), and her son Sterling, who loves to squander money even stronger than his mother. The latter is the main character of the series. It is easy to see that Sterling is an analogue of James Bond, only closer to reality, and raising its vices to absolute.
The advantage of the series is the characters. Here you can meet and fall in love with a hero for every taste: a mad scientist - Hitler’s clone, homosexual - operative, secretary - masochist, accountant - sexologist, personnel officer - drug addict and many other colorful characters. Humor, stuffed with vulgarity and blackness, is subtle, and sometimes intellectual. Dialogues between the characters are delightful, and understand the quotes.
