Plot
'Archer' follows the madcap adventures of Sterling Archer, a self-absorbed, impulsive spy oblivious to the frustration he causes everyone around him, particularly his colleagues in the unnamed spy agency he works for. In Season 7, a shot from one of his enemies placed him in a coma, and Seasons 8, 9, and 10 saw him reimagine his friends and family in different genre adventures. Now that he's woken up from his coma, he has found that people's lives were better off without him, but it's not long before he manages to get everyone backsliding into the worst versions of themselves again.
Spoilers
The first episode features the aftermath of Archer and the gang saving the world from a nuclear catastrophe and their reward is five nights in a rat-infested Moldovan hotel.
