The Last Man on Earth

I really enjoyed The Last Man on Earth from the first episode to the last. The only problem with it is that it was cancelled too early. It did what every fan of any show hates and that's not have a proper ending. It was canceled before they could finish the story so it's left on a cliffhanger. It sucks it did that but I still highly recommend it because you'll still have a good time for 4 seasons and 67 episodes. It's about a cataclysm that strikes earth wiping out the entire population except for Phil Miller (Will Forte). He travels the United States, Canada and Mexican borders searching for other survivors. He ends up finding some fellow survivor and end up finding it difficult to live with other people again. What follows is an absolutely hilarious show and an always funny Will Forte, who leads a really solid cast that includes January Jones, Jason Sudeikis, Kristen Schaal, among others that are all very funny in this. Forte is the standout here though as he's always laugh out loud funny in almost everything he does and this was the perfect show for him and his humor. No other actor would have been as funny in this role, he was perfect for it.

This is one odd sitcom, the main characters go from one surrealistic setting to the next, mixing comedy with some real touching moments. The characters are likeable, even Tandy who seems anoying in the beginning develops into a more caring an likeable person, and every episode makes you a bit curious for the next one. If you like to relax with a bit of goofball comedy detached from your every day life this is for you. Pity it didn't have a proper 'final season'.

It took me a little while to get into this but I'm really glad I stuck with it.

I'd love there to be a final season, even if it's just a three episode special, to tidy things off.

I know a virus has swept the globe for real, and many of us have lost loved ones to it, but this show was warm-hearted fun and a return would be lovely.

The Last Man on Earth was an underrated comedy that should have gotten more attention than it did when it was on. It surprised me how funny this show was. The cast is what makes this show so funny, led by the always hilarious Will Forte. Forte is funny in just about everything he does but this really is one of his best and funniest roles of his underrated career. It's easily the funniest show that's based on the apocalypse. The show is smart too, it asks us to think about some big existential questions. The first season is the best but all of them are good and worth watching. The only negative is that it ended a season too early and on a cliffhanger. That shouldn't deter you from watching it though.

This is a refreshingly different post-apocalyptic story. What makes it even more unique is the fact that it's a comedy. It takes getting used to and it marches to the beat of its own drum but quickly becomes endearing.

I am completely distraught at the news of its cancellation on fox and pray that it will either be reconsidered to be renewed or picked up by another outlet. Please let this show get busy living instead of getting busy dying.
