    Punchy brevity is where The Last Man On Earth shines and--in the premiere of season 3 at least--Forte and the gang prove that there’s still humor, life, and occasionally deft emotions left in the apocalypse, even if the eyebrows are fake.

    There are a few ok moments in the premiere and surely some great ones to come (last season’s “Falling Slowly” duet was among the show’s best), and for the Last Man faithful that may be enough. For those on the fence, however, this feels like the right time to say goodbye.

    Ugh. After an amazing Season 2, here they go back to their old ways and Tandy is once again an unbearable cringy moron, this time with theUgh. After an amazing Season 2, here they go back to their old ways and Tandy is once again an unbearable cringy moron, this time with the added characteristics of being oblivious about everything around him and becoming a "comedian" with horrible repetitive jokes. Yes, "I hardly knew her" is a classic and got many laughs out at the beginning, but damn, it's been overused to death! Seriously, his behaviour is becoming borderline mentally retarded.

    He's also predictable af. Everytime he comments to himself you know EXACTLY what he's going to do next and just prepare for the ensuing cringe.

    Carol has somehow become even worse than Tandy. She's childish, bratty and horribly annoying. Every episode she finds problems and issues in normal situations and starts behaving like a teenager in puberty when things don't go her way.

    It's amazing how this has become a show where I love the side-characters like Gail, Todd and Erica (Mike, where are you?) more than the main cast. Honesty, them and the great dramatic moments this show is good at creating is what's keeping me going.

    Going into season 4 I'm hoping for the best.    … Full Review »

    I am in the middle of season 3, which means I am a glutton for punishment. I like the entire cast, even Carol, except for Original-Phil, orI am in the middle of season 3, which means I am a glutton for punishment. I like the entire cast, even Carol, except for Original-Phil, or as he is now known, Tandy. They've retooled him to be less of a moronic, narcissistic sociopath with a penchant for destroying everything he touches, so are we supposed to like him better now that he only lies half the time? Considering the high score the show had in its first season, and what a prominent role he plays, he must be appealing to some people. This show does have a certain comedic flair strewn about which feels fresh and alive, but every good moment gets immediately buried by Tandy once again aggrandizing himself while knowing less than nothing. And so every man joining the group who actually does know something that might help them survive past the time when gas and canned food have gone bad must die, or otherwise this group would have dumped Tandy long ago because he is actively harmful aside from being more annoying than a 24-hour long scratch fest on a chalk board. If I found myself at the end of the world and he was the only other human, I'd move to the other side of the Earth to get away from him. And since this is all conceived and written by the comedian who portrays him, my opinion of Mr Forte is that I will never watch anything else by him. How is this inspired comedy genius? Monty Python is inspired comedy genius; this is mental masturbation for people who never grew up past age 15.

    From a science fictional point of view this is complete dreck. The post virus world is pristine and clean, without any bodies anywhere, which is explained with inept handwavium. The comedy is all-pervasive; there are very few introspective moments, and the characters who provide those generally don't live long (I can tell a redshirt pretty much by the end of the episode where they join the cast). I guess the moral is the less thoughtful you are the more likely you'll get to live after an apocalypse; which might soothe the current anti-science sentiment in America.

    Some good points beyond the generally capable cast: a fat man who's not the butt of anyone's (but Tandy's) joke, a black man who's not the criminal or magical negro, and a gay man who's not a mincing, lisping stereotype. Alas the women don't get off that well; at first glance they looked like a competent foil to Tandy's idiocies, but at this point one is a lush, one is psychotic, one is mildly kooky, and one is a cipher.    … Full Review »
