Tuesday Treat: A cartoon comedy with an edge

I'm going to reveal just how immature I am and tell you about one of my current favorite television shows, Archer. It's a cartoon comedy, but not your typical ha-ha comedy. The story is about a group of men and women working at ISIS, a sort-of spy agency. The characters are hilarious, getting into all kinds of weird trouble. Adult language and situations are abundant, so don't watch if you are easily offended. The action moves along quickly so you have to stay alert but not too much. It is a cartoon, after all. The episodes are short, the perfect thing to watch when you need to let your brain relax a little. My DH is annoyed by Archer's voice but I find it matches the lead character perfectly. Lana, the heroine, is tough as nails but reveals a vulnerable side every now and then. The rest of the group borders on psychotic, but you know, in a fun way.  

There are amusing, romantic situations and just a touch of seriousness in several of them but for the most part, sex is portrayed as bizarre and funny. Since I write action/adventure and suspense, I pay attention to plots involving these elements. Even though this is a comedic cartoon, someone had to come up with story lines to make it believable. That would be the most heavenly job in the world for me, to write sexy, suspenseful comedy. *sigh* I stream it on Netflix and you can buy DVD's at Amazon also. I hope you get the chance to enjoy this quirky show.
