I’m sorry. Archer is a good show.
You just have to watch it from the beginning.
It is one long story. Each season is a chapter in Archer’s life journey.
From super-spying around, being the American-James Bond to selling cocaine after being burned to enjoying an Innerspace adventure. His mother’s super secret spy agency has run-ins with other contractors, the CIA, the FBI, drug czars, and fascist government leaders.
It’s endlessly entertaining – though some scenes contain graphic content definitely not intended for children.

“Archer” is one of those shows that you either like or you don’t like. Though if you watch it from the beginning and have an idea of the pop culture being referenced, it’s a good story.
Archer has some pathos.
He always has a witty quip or a funny observation. And its great to see the back-and-forth between him, Lana, and Ray; there’s always such good dialogue.
“Archer” on Wikipedia: “The show’s time setting is comically anachronistic, deliberately mixing technologies, clothing styles and historical backdrops of different decades. The characters wear 1960s clothing and hairstyles, and many episodes feature references to the Soviet Union as a current nation, yet in the fourth-season episode “Once Bitten”, Turkmenistan is an independent nation rather than a Soviet republic. It also contains references to Fidel Castro as the current leader of Cuba. The show frequently uses pop-culture references which are contemporary to the 2010s, yet character backstories place them at older events — such as Woodhouse’s service in World War I, or Malory’s involvement in various espionage events of World War II and the Cold War era — which would require them to be much older than they are if the show were actually set in the 21st century.
“The technological sophistication within the series also varies, with characters using dated computer technology (e.g. reel-to-reel mainframe systems, desktop computers closely resembling the Macintosh XL, dot-matrix printers, and punch cards) and making surveillance recordings on cassette tape rather than digitally, but also using modern technologies such as GPS devices, the Internet, laser gunsights, cryptocurrencies, USB flash drives and cellular phones (season 6 saw the appearance of touchscreen devices and flip phones, whereas cellphones in season 7 resembled very large, early cellphones). This ambiguity is alluded to in at least two episodes, in which characters are unable to answer when asked what year they think it is.”
