Sterling Archer has handled missions in some of the furthest locales on the globe, as well as under the sea, in space, inside the human body, and within his subconscious. He's been shot so many times over 13 seasons of "Archer" that anyone keeping count must have dropped that task some time ago. He's a survivor in other respects too – of sexual assault, cancer, a murderous alcohol addiction and an overbearing mother, Malory, who both smothers him and skewers his self-worth.
All this shaped Sterling Archer (H. Jon Benjamin) into the world's greatest spy, a superlative he claims with more consistency than living up to it. Spending 14 years with him instills the audience with the impression that there's nothing he cannot royally mess up and eventually fix, albeit with ample help from fellow operative and on again, off (and we mean way, way off) again romantic partner Lana Kane (Aisha Tyler), with whom he shares a daughter.
