Tonight marks the return ofArcher , which may just be the considerably animated spy action - comedy in the story of reanimate undercover agent action - comedies .
If you have n’t seen ourArcherseason 2 trailer , the second season of Sterling Malory " Duchess " Archer ’s misadventures fall with more witty banter , larger-than-life natural action , twisted and hilarious quotables and of path , 68 % more sex than we saw last time of year ( by my careful scientific estimate ) . And it all kick off with the time of year 2 premiere , " Swiss Miss " .
Again , if you are n’t inform about the show , who the reference are , and where things left off at the end ofArcherseason one , be certain to check out ourArcherseason 2 preview , which will get you all caught up on everything you need to know .

Archer vow to behave himself around the tempting youth , but when she attempt to seduce him , the world ’s greatest spy chance himself at the wrong goal of a " Boy Who Cried Wolf " scenario .
Amidst all the borderline illegal sexual tautness , a couplet of selfsame similitude assassin hatch a program to eliminate both the heiress and Archer . Epic spy action ensues .
Review
This episode contained all the material I liked aboutArcherseason one - great dialogue and banter ; bawdy humour you almost feel demented for laughing at ; plenitude of recreate sex prayer ( because that IS a thing , apparently ) ; and some cool spy action . Not only did " Swiss Miss " volunteer these familiarArchertropes , it had them neatly prescribe and dressed to perfection .
It ’s open that the cast and crew of the show have found a speech rhythm and comfort geographical zone in explore the many " danger zones " of Archer ’s undercover agent lifestyle . Some of the time of year one episodes felt a bit disjointed in the execution of their multiple plotlines , and it was apparent that there was a lot of experimentation locomote on insofar as the amount of CRT screen time that was alloted to the stomach characters .
In my judgement the show catch exponentially better once it became more of a clearly - cut ensemble effort , and all of the best supporting characters were tug up from the background to the forefront in the latter one-half of season 1 . ( For good example , Judy Greer ’s character Cheryl was suppossed to snuff it betimes on , but thankfully they go on her around . )
" Swiss Miss " continued to split up covert clock time wisely between the characters , and the sub - plot with Malory and Pam end up in a cringe - desirable ternary after too many " green Russians " ( Absinthe + Milk River ) was some uproariously gross stuff . Ca n’t wait to see if that running joke ( Pam having a secret to defend over Malory ) gets weave into the eternal sleep of season 2 . I also savor seeing Ray Gillette ( vocalise by show Maker Adam Reed ) being get into principal fold of character . After all , it make sense to have Ray front and nerve center since the articulation behind his lines happens to be the same guy wire who thinks up all this twist stuff in the first stead . Might as well have all your good instrumentalist out on the field .
CLICK POSTER FOR LARGER VERSION
at last , it was adept to see an actual prolonged action chronological sequence feature in the show ( guess they ’ve fetch the budget for it now ) . The banter between the role player always snapped like clockwork , butArcheris essentially a spy show , and season 1 admittedly squandered a lot of chance for some off - kilter undercover agent action at law . gratefully they keep the action quotient much high this season .
All in all , " Swiss Miss " was a with child commencement forArcherseason 2 , but bank me when I severalise you that there is plenty more hilarity on the way . For example , it would be seriously irresponsible of you to miss the Woodhouse episode " The Double Deuce " when it premieres in a few week . It ’s an instantArcherclassic .
