It has gained a dedicated fanbase and has become known for its pop culture references, including nods to classic spy movies and TV shows.

The show’s animation style is distinct, with a retro aesthetic reminiscent of 1960s and 1970s spy fiction, featuring sleek designs, stylish outfits, and a jazz-infused soundtrack. “Archer” has consistently pushed the boundaries of adult animation, tackling mature themes and subjects with a unique and satirical approach.
