These agents of ISIS deal with a wide variety of problems, ranging from international espionage, to blowing up an oil pipeline, just to make some rich people even richer. In the first 4 seasons, ISIS deals with global espionage, as well as navigating through the minefield of emotions within the company. In season 5, ISIS gets raided by the FBI, and we find out that Malory never filed any paperwork to get ISIS legalized, and the team turns to the drug/arms industry in order to turn a profit. Season 6 returns us to the world of espionage, but with one big twist: ISIS is now working for the CIA. Season 7 gets ISIS fired by the CIA, for their gross incompetency, and changes over to a detective agency, titled The Figgis Agency. Season 8 takes place in Sterling's coma-brain, set in a 1940s setting called Dreamland. The show has also been confirmed for 3 more seasons, ending up with a total of 11 seasons, all 8-10 episodes each.
I enjoyed your use of personal taste to guide your project's content, and appreciate the attention you direct to some of the best comedic voice-over actors in the industry. Archer is where John H. Benjamin thrives!
