    Despite the game energy of its cast, Future Man is mostly routine homage, with very little substance shoring up its derivative foundations.

    Future Man is not unwatchable, but it’s pretty bad. ... The end product is another example of a TV series laboring to extrude a couple of hours’ worth of plot over 13 half-hour installments while substituting a knowledge of popular culture for storytelling chops and characters you care about.

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 Future Man.

    Cant wait for season 2 loved every minute of it and didn't want it to end.    … Full Review »

Not to be taken seriously, or to come at it with high expectations, but simply to be enjoyed for the ride despite it's many off putting moments. For any of those forgettable scenes there's plenty of entertainment and ultimately light hearted silly fun to have. I recommend it for those who can see the art that's behind a parody like Sharknado, because it's a step up in that direction, with better plot, acting, writing and an overall improvement. Something about the show simply has a lot of heart behind it so you always want to see what's next, ultimately surprising with enjoyable fast paced character development. It doesn't take itself seriously and allows you to do the same. A lot of fun to binge watch!… Full Review »

    Just got done binge watching the entire show and loved it.

Lots of gags and yeah a bit of low brow humor but the show does not take itself too seriously and neither should you. There was a couple of slower moments but as a whole I enjoyed the first season and laughed harder than I have in a long time while watching anything else on Hulu.

    It's a fun show with a little bit of gross out humor, over the top violence at times, and no the whole logic of the time traveling is hardly understandable which the characters in the show admit to all the time.

    An excellent overall effort that was highly enjoyable. Wolf is by far my favorite. I'm a fan of Future Man and I will be hoping for a second season.    … Full Review »
