This FX-aired animated comedy centering on a private American intelligence agency and its dysfunctional office politics has grown from cult show to hit series. After the team left the business to try their hand at running a drug cartel in season five, they are now back, teaming with the CIA—as long as they can prove themselves capable of handling an assignment without completely bungling it. Complicating matters is the fact that the team's top agents—Sterling Archer (voiced by H. Jon Benjamin), who has mad skills but a serious deficit of brain cells, and Lana (Aisha Tyler), the only clear thinking member of the agency—are the parents of an infant girl who they must leave behind during each mission (and there are simply no responsible adults back at the office). Christian Slater guest stars in a recurring role as CIA agent Slater ("not Mr. Slater, just Slater"), their long-suffering agency contact, and the two-part season finale shrinks them to microscopic size and sends them into the bloodstream of a dying scientist in a parody of the sci-fi cult film Fantastic Voyage. Still marked by extremely raunchy humor—although not as funny as the early seasons—this set compiles all 13 episodes from the 2015 sixth season, with extras including bonus animated shorts. A strong optional purchase. (S. Axmaker)
