TV-MASeason 1
Spy life is the high life.
Synopsis
Archer Season 1 — watch online on iFILM, ten episodes of FX's animated spy comedy from 2009. Adam Reed built the show around one reliable joke: the world's most dangerous secret agent works for the most dysfunctional agency imaginable.
Sterling Archer is that agent. His mother Malory runs ISIS like a personal empire. His ex Lana is the better field operative, which he cannot accept, and her new boyfriend Cyril handles the accounts. Each episode drops the team into a genuine spy scenario — diamond theft, a bomb threat on a luxury airship, blackmail, assassins at a dinner party — and the comedy is watching professionalism lose to ego every single time. The finale circles back to the question of Archer's real father, a thread the show will keep pulling. Fans of rapid-fire ensemble comedy with a Bond-parody backbone will find the hook here.
Stream Archer Season 1 online on iFILM, all episodes available.

S1·E1Mole Hunt
Archer is in trouble with his Mother and the Comptroller because his expense account is way out of proportion to his actual expenses.
