The Last Man on Earth

You can't leave us all hanging like this! Season 4 has such a cliff hanger, we need to know what's going on!! This has been such a hilariously clever show, I really hope there is a way for them to make at least one more series (preferably more than one!!)

For some reason, there are a huge number of reviews that expect this to portray all the details of its post-apocalyptic premise exactly the way each reviewer imagines it should.

It is a sit-com! Was "Bob Newhart" accurate about mental illness? No. Could actual human beings live the summer camp style lives led by the central characters in "Friends"? No. Is "Last Man on Earth" anything more than an excuse to throw together different character types for humorous effect? No.

But as a sit-com style serial it is really very, very funny. Will Forte, the central character, is weak-willed but occasionally self-reflective anti-hero, and Kristin Schaal and January Jones are just two of a set of excellent comedians who play supporting roles.

The only reason I can think that so many ratings are so low is that people may have been looking for show in a different genre, and started watching and were unhappy it was basically a sit-com.

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 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'.
