But what can I say? This show is... well, BRILLIANT! I've always thought that there are far, far too many five star reviews here on amazon. But if there ever was a show that genuinely deserved a rave, this is it.Archer is a wonderfully absurdist frolic for strictly adult audiences. Fundamentally this show is a giant spoof of 1960s spy thrillers; a spoof made for decidedly 21st century sensibilities. It's the show Get Smart would have been had all the characters been perpetually high on crystal meth. In fact, the characters on Archer are all selfish, petty, and utterly and completely venal: the three great ingredients from which comedy is made. They seem to think and act more like deranged adolescents than grown-ups. Deranged adolescents with access to firearms. Add all this together and you get some idea of the flavor of the show. Archer is very much in the spirit of the original Williams Street adult...

I was really excited about getting the DVD because of the "previously unaired pilot" and behind the scenes material. If those are your main reasons for purchasing the DVDs, skip it. The "pilot" is just an episode with Archer replaced with a dinosaur, which is funny for about thirty seconds but goes on for an entire episode. The behind the scenes stuff has some interesting concept art in it, but most of the actual information isn't even narrated - it's printed on the screen in letters too small to be read from across the room on my 48 inch HD TV. I'm still happy with my purchase of the discs because the actual show is so good, but PLEASE Archer people, do better than this on the next release! 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Archer: Season 1 (DVD) Wow, FX has definitely done it again. When I first saw commercials for this show I thought it looked horrible. After watching an episode, I realized the only thing that is horrible is FX's method of advertising. I quickly bought the first season on DVD to catch up on the whole thing in order. It has one of the best pilots I've seen in quite some time. The jokes are extremely crude, vulgar, sexist, racist, etc so if you're easily offended I would definitely stay away from this series. I'm looking forward to buying season 2 as well! |
