If you aren’t already familiar with this hilarious FX series, then stop reading this and go get a copy of Season 1 and 2. Your life will never be the same … and we mean that in a good way. As Season 2 opens, Isis (the international spy agency where the series is set) is on the brink of financial ruin thanks to some bad investments in a ponzi scheme by the head of the agency, Malory Archer (Jessica Walter). Cost cutting initiatives, like trying to make the spy agency go green, lead to some pretty funny moments. It’s the sudden appearance of a hooker and an infant she claims was fathered by super-spy Sterling Archer (H. John Benjamin) that sets the tone for the rest of the season. The voice acting, as always, is first rate in Season 2, and the dialogue is sharper than ever. This may be an animated series, but it’s also the most adult comedy on TV, which is great because it makes the creators absolutely fearless in going where few other shows – animated or not — would dare.
