Top 10 Shows: Archer
I will list all my top ten television shows counting down to number one! Starting off with number ten:
Archer
Archer began in 2009 and stars a secret agent by the name of Sterling Archer, working for the agency 'ISIS' who are hired to do protection work, transportation of top secret information or in some cases assassination. Of course this is a parody of shows and films similar to this and the agents constantly mock each other. Sterling Archer is a field agent who is constantly drunk and having sex with anything that is female!
Archer's field partner most of the time is Lana Kane who mocks Archer for the fact that he has cheated on her.. more than once.
This show has made it to my top ten because of its witty and fast humour that has had me laughing many times! It isn't one of those shows constructed specifically for humour it also has a storyline to it and follows a certain pattern, incorporating in depth characters that are easy to love and some easy to hate. With the characters life stories being quite dark and sad, Sterling's for example, they are then shrouded in humour so to not take away that comical edge and prevent it from getting too serious.
As a show it is enjoyable to watch when I want to unwind and not focus on much, with the crude humour being enjoyable at times but one gripe would be that it can go too far. Sometimes the humour can be harsh in many ways or get a little silly. This is like most American shows where the limits of comedy are stretched. Nevertheless this is something that rarely happens and the comedy is mostly hilarious!
The storyline itself follows the missions Archer and his colleagues go on, taking focus on other characters attributes and twisting that for the sake of comedy.
It has also developed into many drinking games and is also another reason why it has reached my list!
That's it for number ten on my list, every week I will be putting up another counting down to number one!
Thank you for reading! :)
