EDIT

Following the murder of Archer's wife by Bionic Barry, Archer disappears off the map. Malory is consumed with maternal worry over her missing son, and sends a man named Rip Riley to look for him.

  • Archer is King!

    10
    I'm going to keep this review very brief so bare with me.

    Finally after all these years coach mcguirk and brock sampson together at last, and the resulting episode does not disappoint!

    Simply put season three already feels bigger and better in every way.

    I cannot wait for parts 2 and/or3 of the smartest adult animated spy comedy ever made!

    P.S. who else thinks rip riley is really archer's dad instead.
