This show is not the same anymore. It used to be the wittiest show on tv then it turned to bland story with sub-par humor, but I'm kinda glad that they're all back. It's not as funny anymore, but that's not their fault. We live in the world where archer's old jokes are no longer acceptable, and that's a shame. I'm a Filipino and I'm pretty sure this show took atleast 5 shot at Filipinos, and I did not at all get offended. I actually kinda chuckled. I just think that people are oversensitive these days, but it's fine I guess. Not gonna lie the scene where they all work together got me emotional. Anyways, I love Archer and I'm glad he's actually back.

The opening to season was so glorious, the nerdgasm I had almost got me choked up. While the three Dreamland seasons weren't bad for the most part, I was ready for Archer to wake up halfway through Danger Island. I didn't know how much I missed return to form Archer until I watched the first three episodes without pausing for any reason.
When I say return to form, I definitely don't mean everything is the same. All the characters seemed to have moved on without Archer, but not necessarily for the better. Perhaps they're better spies, but their sense of humor seems to still be asleep as they are all taking themselves too seriously. Everyone that is except for Pam, who was on her way to becoming a field agent and now appears to have regressed to a side kick. Her behavior may be due to wanting to lighten up with Archer back after three years, it's still early in the season, but she's still fun and has some of the best lines... oh, Krieger is still the same, wonderful psychopath.
So far I am loving season 11; definitely better than the last three at the very least, as well as Archer Vice, but there's still a lot more to go, so I'm cautiously optimistic.

A wholehearted thank you goes to the team and that one FX business analyst who hopefully read all the youtube comments from us fans begging for Archer to return to it's roots in the past 5 years.
+ Back in Spy business! + Dialogue + Intentional references to forget about the past (mishap) seasons + Back to original character types + Espionage, action, graphics and the list goes on...

Dull.

The show stopped being funny a long time ago and stopped being interesting when the dream worlds began- not so much due to the dream world premise but due to the lacklustre storytelling.
This return is the sort of slow and entertainment-free plodding that only a terminally lazy show circling the drain thinks it can get away with.
It's already been renewed for season 12 but with this trajectory don't count on a full season 12 - or a season 13.
