Shows Like Archer

The animated comedy TV series follows the international espionage career of Sterling Archer, a master spy with the codename Duchess. The story is made more interesting for its twist on the life of the Duchess having to work with a domineering boss Malory, who is also his mother. And working alongside him is Agent Lana Kane, his ex-girlfriend who now has a new boyfriend. Below, you’ll find other series that are similar to this masterpiece.

American Dad

American Dad is an adult-themed animated sitcom that will introduce you to the cheeky and eccentric detective lifestyle of Stan Smith, a CIA agent, and an American Dad at the same time. You’ll surely enjoy the humorous ride of how the agent deals with the impending threats to the country he has sworn to protect while dealing simultaneously with the day-to-day life of a father in a family with the dynamic relationship among the family members.

But what really made some twists to the story are the additional unconventional members of the family. One of them is a talking goldfish named Klaus, who speaks only in German, which is a result of a failed experiment when scientists tried to put a German’s brain in a fish. And there’s also a spooky alien named Roger, who was adopted by the family after he saved Stan in Area 51 a few years earlier.

Moonbeam City

This cop comedy animated television series mainly dwells on the misadventures and exploits of an egoistic police detective named Dazzle Novak, who perpetrates more crimes than those he tries to lock up. Set in a crime-laden beach area in Miami called Moonbeam City back in the 1980s, Dazzle teamed up with a more competent cop named Chrysalis Tate. Together, the unlikely team deals with multiple crimes that littered the Metropolis.

The electrifying escapade starts when Dazzle lets a petty crime slips through his finger, which eventually led to a cocaine empire trying to take control of the entire city of Moonbeam. And to add icing to the cake, Dazzle also has to deal with the barking Pizzaz Miller, his tyrannical chief who keeps on giving orders; as well as his nasty rival Rad Cunningham who wants nothing but to take him down.

Frisky Dingo

If you feel like you’ve had enough of detective stories on your screen, then maybe it’s time to shift gears and change to superheroes versus villains, but still within the context of good guys versus bad guys. In that case, Frisky Dingo could be a perfect fit. This is a sort of a Batman parody where Xander Crews, or the Awesome X, is the billionaire superhero that rids the city of crime.

These are just a few of the shows that are similar to Archer in terms of plot and characters. Some of our other favorites that are binge-worthy include Rick and Morty, Bob’s Burgers, Beavis and Butthead, and Family Guy.
