The comics were lively, witty, and gripping. The setting was horrific, and the writing captured the multifaceted, nuanced responses of all the characters to this, which conveyed the gamut of human emotion. This show is the complete opposite. It has one emotion and it is misery. Every scene is like a pissing contest, with extra points for pouting, acting bored, and putting out scornful contempt. It’s like watching the original comics interpreted in the style of a Twitter argument. It seems as though the director has decided, in a totally condescending way, that complete solemnity and gloom is the only respectful way to convey a post apocalypse setting, but the result feels less like compelling gravitas and more like sullen moodiness - like being lectured to by an angry teenager. The (admittedly great) visuals do not make up for this tedium. This series is a sinkhole of mirth. It makes you glad the apocalypse happened to the characters in it because they are each and every one of them utterly insufferable. The dearth of likeability or charisma in this show brings to mind another failed comic adaptation, Jupiter's Legacy, which was equally patronising. This should make any self-respecting comic fan seriously concerned about the growing trend of the forces of judgmental, posturing mirthlessness colonising our beloved stories and turning them into dreary poutfests.… Expand

Could have been great. Instead we get more trite slimy Holywood Religion straight from the bowels of BirdApp to your screen as if to your car window. Anyone surprised?

Despite the global emergency it portrays, there's no sense of stakes here. Acting and montage seem problematic; plenty of scenes go nowhere, like when Yorick loses Ampersand for a while.

A series about transexuals without a single actual transexual (they are all played by men).

Their only trick to try to make the plot interesting is creating tension by having one of the characters constantly do stupid things that put everyone in danger.

It's been cancelled, so you won't get any meaningful conclusion for the time you've wasted watching it. The special ops woman carries this show and is bizarrely the only one with actual passible and relatable motives, despite being the most far fetched character in the entire show.… Expand

The first 10 minutes of the show was promising, then the Hollywood elitist woke back story took over that was not only repugnant, it was outrageously boring. The Last Man is a terrible exercise in leftist lecturing.

As a fan of the comic I was looking forward to an interesting, fun, and tongue in cheek approach to post apocalyptic survival focused on the one man left alive. Instead what I sat through was a heavy drama with hardly any time at allAs a fan of the comic I was looking forward to an interesting, fun, and tongue in cheek approach to post apocalyptic survival focused on the one man left alive. Instead what I sat through was a heavy drama with hardly any time at all dedicated to the original main character, and absolutely none of the fun of the original. Gone was any hint of playfulness, or for that matter the happy go lucky amusing idiocy of the comics Yorkick. The new version is a heavy drama focused almost entirely on h fisted political and ideological moralizing focused on all the other survivors. It's the same setup, but with almost no hint of the flow and feel of the original.… Expand

I read what others had said and took it with a grain of salt, tried to form my own opinions. They took a comic IP and turned it into a all men are garbage, but wait there is really no such thing as a man because we’re all gender fluid so we’re not on a quest to save the men we’re on a quest to save “humans with just the right amount of genetic bias towards a Y chromosome that they can create life with another human that is compatible with their genetic disposition”. They made the main guy a whiny little weak brat, to what, make all the other women look stronger? He was not like that in the source material. It’s just SJW garbage. I’m sorry, I one hundred percent believe that every person should be treated with love and dignity, for all of those with a genetic abnormality mutated from the life as we mammals know it of two sexes. Regardless of what people want to believe when it comes to the definition of gender roles, that topic can be debated at great length. The percentage of crossed wires and mutations, real physical ones and not a mental “feeling” that you are another sex is very very low amongst the human race. The need to pretend that someone is just as much a man or woman for having transitioned is very painfully blurred in this show, as it would have to be. The entire premise and title focuses on the Y chromosome being the definition of it. I made it up to the point of doctor Mann “Mannsplaining” to Yorick that there isn’t any such thing as a man or woman and it’s an just a spectrum **** before I turned it off for good. Couple stars for good acting performances from all involved, bad review for being a preachy piece of trash. Read the comic, it’s better.… Expand

So far the series delivers good elements, but it still lacks something to mesh and I hope the next ones do.

A mediocre version of this story just doesn’t work. One problem with this premise is that we saw it play out in the Avengers movies.

One problem with this premise is that we saw it play out in the Avengers movies. Sure, the Y The Last Man comic came out first, but the Infinity Gauntlet comic that inspired the Avengers movies came out before that. Killing half of all life is a lot to show. Handling those characters takes a lot of work. Comics come with a bit of suspension of disbelief. A TV show, especially a series one, needs to nail the details.

The pacing of the show is trouble from the start. What I want to see are how the survivors keep things going and how Y the Last Man helps them find a cure. (We recently saw a better version of this in HBOs “The Last of Us”). Instead we see a lot of side stories that I could care less about. (Thank you, fast forward). We know people will go nuts and act irrationally, but everything is either on a personal level or a national level. And society goes from 21st century to post apocalypse in about 1 week. It’s like an episode of “The Simpsons”. Also, for no reason, the former president’s daughter plays an important role in government. Losing everyone with a Y chromosome is an interesting premise for how society would change. Many jobs are male or female only. Survivors would surely need training to handle the job loss. An issue with this premise is that all males die at the same time, like with the Thanos snap. Such a crazy and impossible scenario wouldn’t have the same response as a real disaster. Anything interesting that might come from this thought experiment is dulled by crazy and impossible responses by the characters. I’m sure some of this is metaphorical, but a serious TV show needs to get into the weeds with the practical. Maybe go goofier. One highlight of the show is the titular Y. He is good natured, smart, funny, and a total loser. As he puts it, he is just some guy. The show does not commit to the monkey, but it does commit to the dork that could save humanity from this magic, men killing event. This kind of character fumbling through a world of adversaries and saviors would be interesting. What a waste of potential.… Expand
