Inventive and frequently hilarious. ... Future Man has a firm grasp of what it is and where it’s going. Coupe and Wilson excel as goal-fixated warriors from the future without any social graces while Hutcherson shines as a nebbish who both talks them down and strives to keep his own heart from beating off the charts.

The characters are appealing and their story, through all its ridiculous twists and turns, genuinely involving; even when you know where it's going, it's a treat to get there. For all the mayhem that occurs along the way, the show is good-hearted and aspirational and steeped in family feeling. Read full review

Future Man is a conventional sitcom, despite the projectile vomiting and relentless penis jokes. The cast is serviceable, and Ms. Coupe is more than that. But the central joke--that the initially hapless Josh is not at all what the future was hoping to find--is a good one, and it keeps paying off. Read full review

With that many hours to fill [13], and that much talent behind and in front of the camera, the show might have chosen to make a broader statement on video game culture. As is, the show is like a fun game you can immerse yourself in, but not one that goes to the next level. Read full review

In Future Man, it bounces amusingly along for a while and suddenly becomes weirdly sci-fi serious. In the third episode, “A Riphole in Time,” there’s a plot twist that makes you wonder what you signed up for. Still, Future Man is intriguing enough to keep you going, but I wouldn’t call it one to binge. Read full review

Future Man is escapism through and through, but all those references can sometimes work against it. They remind audiences of what came before and invite a comparison that rarely works in the series’ favor. Read full review

Mostly lame, but also good-natured, with an amusing finale. Read full review

I found the show a welcome change to the run of the mill rubbish that is pumped out. Yes the humour is out there, but if you get the jokes and the constant references made in the show along with the crazy lines and plot without taking everything so seriously then you will binge watch FutureI found the show a welcome change to the run of the mill rubbish that is pumped out.

How do give a show a rating of 30. Plot twist after plot twist the show gets better and better. I love it the shocking ending and huge cliff hanger for next season make a great climax. But the show also makes us emotionally attached to the characters. Overall I would give this show a 30 if I could.

Its story is understandably convoluted, but it knows better than to rely on that to keep the show moving, favoring its deadpan, zany humor to keep the audience watching. The main trio also brings an endearing charm to the series which, despite the degree of crazy antics they find themselves in, somehow makes you still root for them in the end. Definitely worth the laughs and memories of neon title screens from yesteryear.… Expand

Took a couple eps to get going, but the three main characters really grew on me and the second half of the season is hilarious. Great mix of comedy and sci-fi.

This relaxing Sci-Fi comedy is better than anticipated. In my opinion this is a barely average TV serial, and does nothing remarkable. The writing was OK, the effect where OK, and the humor was OK as well, the only thing that excelled was the actors performances in some instances.This relaxing Sci-Fi comedy is better than anticipated. In my opinion this is a barely average TV serial, and does nothing remarkable. The writing was OK, the effect where OK, and the humor was OK as well, the only thing that excelled was the actors performances in some instances. Considering that this was a Comedy first and Sci-fiction after, the humor is pretty much hit or miss. Some times it feels right on spot and it's funny and some times it's just cringe. What I definitely liked about the characters that you can genuinely see them develop over the episodes, and plot itself has a few twists and turns which is welcomed with warmth. Overall, it was decent series, worth checking out if you have a lot of time on your hand (pun intended), also take in to consideration that it takes 2-3 episodes for the story to really take on and to empathize, with the characters which in my opinion is a LOT.… Expand
