Archer
Don’t know if anyone has been following it- a spy comic/ satire cartoon. Very adult, very funny, introduced the tactical turtleneck or “tactileneck” concept. Last episode was recently released… all on Netflix.

Re: Archer
In the US I think it's on Hulu rather than Netflix.
The early seasons (through about Season 6, say) were consistently very funny. IMO the show has lost most of its edge as time has gone on and the caricatures have evolved into characters. It really came to a head for me watching the most recent season: I don't watch _Archer_ to have my heart warmed as the characters learn and grow and have touching revelations about how They're All Basically Family, I watch _Archer_ to see the comically implausible misfortunes of a bunch of catastrophic screwups who can't get out of their own way.
