The final episode of the FXX animated series will air on October 11.

Sterling Archer is rude, selfish and addicted to sex, booze and danger. He also occasionally shoots his coworkers.The final episode of the FXX animated series “Archer” will air on October 11, and that will be the last adventure of the world’s greatest secret agent — his words — and his group of twisted co-workers. Since 2009, “Archer” has won a devoted fan following, along with multiple Emmy nominations, for its sharply animated, ruthlessly funny, deeply inappropriate comedy.

The dialogue was rapid-fire, clever, mean, and utterly inappropriate. It must have been hard to work references to Lord Byron’s poetry, “Bartleby, the Scrivener,” J.R.R. Tolkien and the discoverer of blood types in between all the sex jokes, but the writers made it look easy.If he’d sounded as handsome and arrogant as he was drawn, Archer would have just been a jerk. But Benjamin’s unique, deadpan delivery somehow made what Archer said easier to take.

The turning point came in Season 2, Episode 8, when Archer was diagnosed with breast cancer, the inevitable result of too many encounters with stolen plutonium. Although he still managed to murder most of the Irish Mob for replacing his chemo drugs with Zima, he was forced to admit he needed the people around him. After that, he began to show a little more empathy to the other agency employees, if not actual friendship.

There was never any hugging at the end, and no one would have ever called them a family, but Archer and his crew looked out for each other, if only because nobody else would. They all grew, as much as cartoon characters can, anyway.Now, after seasons that reimagined them as drug dealers, detectives, a starship crew , and spies again, time is finally catching up with them.
