Archer is an American adult animated television series created by Adam Reed for the FX network. A preview of the series aired on September 17, 2009.[3] The first season premiered on January 14, 2010.[4] The show completed airing its sixth season on April 2, 2015, and has been renewed for a seventh season, to consist of 13 episodes.
The inspiration for Archer came to Reed while in a cafe in Salamanca, Spain. Finding himself unable to approach a beautiful woman seated nearby, Reed conjured up the idea of a spy who "would have a perfect line".[6]Reed conceived the show's concept while walking along the Vía de la Plata in 2008.[7] He pitched his idea to FX, which accepted it and ordered six episodes, along with an additional four scripts
Originally working for the "International Secret Intelligence Service" (ISIS) in New York City, suave and profoundly self-centered master spy Sterling Archer deals with global espionage; his domineering, emotionally-distant mother and boss, Malory Archer; the mother of his child (and fellow ISIS operative), Lana Kane; and his other ISIS co-workers (including fellow operative Ray Gillette, accountant Cyril Figgis, Human Resources Director Pam Poovey, dimwitted secretary Cheryl Tunt, and Applied Research head Doctor Krieger); as well as a code name: "Duchess" (after his mother's deceased Afghan Hound).[9]
A season-long arc took place in the fifth season, reconfiguring the show from a spy series to a Miami Vice-style satire of the drug industry. To reflect this, the show's title was changed to "Archer Vice." When ISIS is disbanded by the U.S. government, its members take a stockpile of cocaine that they acquired from previous operations and form a drug cartel to fund their retirements. Meanwhile Cheryl decides to launch a new career as a country singer.
In the sixth season the characters returned to their previous careers in espionage, but the show's producers decided to end the use of the term "ISIS" due to its association with the Islamist terrorist organization of the same name. Starting in this season the characters now work for the CIA. Archer merchandise with the ISIS initials was also withdrawn from sale.
The show's time setting is comically anachronistic, deliberately mixing technologies, clothing styles and historical backdrops of different decades. The characters wear 1960s clothing and hairstyles, and many episodes feature references to the Soviet Union as a current nation, yet in the fourth-season episode "Once Bitten", Turkmenistan is an independent nation rather than a Soviet republic. It also contains references to Fidel Castro as the current leader of Cuba. The show frequently uses pop-culture references which are contemporary to the 2010s, yet character backstories place them at older events — such as Woodhouse's service in World War I, or Malory's involvement in various espionage events of World War II and the Cold War era — which would require them to be much older than they are if the show were actually set in the 21st century.
The technological sophistication within the series also varies, with characters using dated computer technology (e.g. reel-to-reel mainframe systems, desktop computers closely resembling the Macintosh XL, dot-matrix printers, and punch cards) and making surveillance recordings on cassette tape rather than digitally, but also using modern technologies such as GPS devices, the Internet, laser gunsights, cryptocurrencies, USB flash drives and cellular phones (season 6 saw the appearance of touchscreen devices and flip phones). This ambiguity is explicitly recognized in at least two episodes, in which characters are unable to answer when asked what year they think it is.
