Season 4 seems to be quite different from the previous season, as the season is full of powerful adventures. The season begins, as Archer's fear of Cybergs hits his home when Krieger presents the mechanical legs of Gillette. On the other hand, the beginning of the beautiful hatred between Archer and his new mother's husband is playing as both gangs chase them.
Keeping the characters understandable within the crazy scenarios Reed dreams up for them is what's made the show so good, and I haven't minded the lack of larger plots to this point.
Archer is one of the few shows that will try to tell an overarching story, while other animated shows don't show much interest in having any continuity throughout.
If you've been putting it off because it's animated and you're not into that kind of thing, then you are sorely missing out on one of the funniest television shows on the air right now.
