Every Season Of Archer Ranked From Worst To Best
10. Season 9
What puts this season in last place?
After the brilliantly written Dreamland, it seemed anything was possible if you took the cast of Archer, shuffled their personalities a bit and dropped them in a completely different setting. Danger Island looked like it was another laugh riot, but something felt a little off about it.
Archer seasons work best when they blend variety, and Danger Island didn't seem to do that at all. As a result what we had was a season that whilst still fun, appeared as one giant blur. The season pays homage to the old American adventure drama "Tales of the Gold Monkey", which doesn't drum up as many memories for contemporary audiences, despite its visual aesthetic.
The character mix is interesting though; being one of Sterling's coma-dreams we expect this is his fantasies and imagination taking over. Character changes include turning Dr. Krieger into a talking parrot that doubles as a comedic sidekick, and the main antagonist of the series is a German accented Cyril Figgis who slowly unveils himself as a truly terrifying villain.
It's not pleasant, but it is fair to put Danger Island last in the list. If nothing else, it's the weakest of the three coma-seasons.
