I’ve never seen this show. Can someone give me a quick synopsis before I painfully sit through episode after episode wondering if it’s ever going to get better or if I should just slit my throat and get it over with? I don’t think I could survive another Flash Forward or The Event experience. ---

It’s the animated adventures of a ludicrously dysfunctional espionage agency. Sort of like _Get Smart_, as written by the Farrely Brothers. The first episode is a good representation of the series. If you don’t like that one, you probably won’t like any of them. ---

I second this statement. Is dying within ten minutes of the first episode, to the point where I had to pause it. If you don’t like the first episode you won’t like the show. ---

I’m a huge fan, but didn’t care for the first episode. Try Skytanic (season 1), or Placebo Effect (season 2). Both are on Netflix. ---

Or more accurately, it’s Arrested Development, only animated and set in a spy agency. ---

I understand that people want to make the Arrested Development connection what with the voice actors, the puns/wordplay, and the dysfunctional mother/son relationship but it’s a lot less wacky and drops more pop references. It hints at AD but doesn’t emulate it. ---

Which is a good thing, because I love Archer and absolutely loathed Arrested Development. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/archers-coming-back-whos-excited/645965.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/archers-coming-back-whos-excited/645965.md?page=3)
