    I'm afraid i have to agree with the negative votes on this one. It was quite well made and played but the scripting was pretty terrible most of the time. The humour was seemingly intentionally infantile and under-developed, but surely it's better to have some sort of intelligence and sophistication written in there also?

It was quite well made and played but the scripting was pretty terrible most of the time. The humour was seemingly intentionally infantile and under-developed, but surely it's better to have some sort of intelligence and sophistication written in there also? There were so many instances of characters, mainly Wolf, acting in idiotic ways that no human being would ever act in and followed immediately by reactions from others, again in utterly unnatural ways. Maybe i just find that stuff too off-putting in my old age. I absolutely loved This Is The End but this show shares nothing in common with that film apart from the genre.

    What was the point of a scene like the individual naming, with separate shots, of each of the 20-strong future resistance crew? Incredibly clumsy stuff unless i'm missing something there.

    I did however watch it all because it was an easy watch and amiable enough to sit through but i wish i'd never started.

    Oh and the cat dies. Why? Because it's apparently funny.    … Expand

    Humor like the one in the "American Pie" movieS - not my kind (anymore; I've to admit that in the age of 16 I found that funny). Plot not very innovative. I only watched the first two episodes.

    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. SomeThis relaxing Sci-Fi comedy is better than anticipated.

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

    Everything feels meticulously, lovingly plotted by the show’s creators, but as it’s happening it leads to numerous surprises and big laughs. Future Man is what happens when giddy, geeky and inspired storytelling is allowed to go full throttle.

    Once you know that Future Man is written and produced by Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, Kyle Hunter, and Ariel Shaffir, the team behind the epically uncouth cartoon Sausage Party, further explanation becomes almost totally unnecessary. It's a comic onslaught against video-gamers and their culture of the past 30 years or so, with the occasional random shot at baby boomers so they won't be left out of the fun.

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