Future Man

This show is great. Starts out strong, weakens in season 2, then concludes well in season 3. It feels very unique, sometimes alienating but it's too irreverent to get offended by. Watch this if you're bored with the usual stuff and are craving something very weird and surprising.

The cast works great. There are some extremely hilarious parts on this show...and there are some that are pretty stupid ones but within the world of this show...stupid works very well.

I am definitely looking forward to season 3!

But, its not just goofy fun...there is an actual story to follow. While that path may not be straight forward or even slightly believable...its just works. The running humor is really good on this one.

Future Man was so much better than I expected it to be. It literally had me laughing out loud several times per episode. It's about the love of a boring janitor named Josh Futterman (Joel Hutcherson) whose entire life is playing video games. When he beats an unbeatable game some mysterious visitors from the future show up (Derek Wilson and Eliza Coupe). They say the world is in danger and Josh is the only one who can save it. He travels through time with them as they do everything they can save Earth from aliens trying to take over. I promise that if you give this show a chance you will not be sorry! It's not the best comedy series I've ever seen but it's definitely one of the more underrated comedies I've ever seen.

I can't believe that I've been putting off watching Future Man for so long, I guess it's because the trailers just made it look ok. I just now finally starting watching it and man, am I glad I did. It's hilarious! Everyone is funny but it's Derek Wilson (Wolf) that really shines and steals the show! I've never seen him in anything else but he's the star of this show and has a bright future! Give this show a chance...you will not be sorry!

With all the *bad* "kid ends up in a 'real life' video game"-type movies out there, I was hesitant after watching one of the early trailers. But with Seth Rogen & Evan Goldberg attached, I figured I'd at least try one episode.

Needless to say... it's 6 hours later and I'm sad that I only have one episode left to watch. :'-( This might not be for everyone, but it's definitely a fun ride for anyone who loves sci-fi/time-travel movies, 'geek' culture, and/or 80's/90's nostalgia. Ridiculously fun performances by everyone involved and a story that has you eagerly ready to play the next episode before the credits appear. I was originally disappointed that the episodes were only 30min long, but they made the most of every second and it makes for great pacing.

Definitely binge-worthy, but now I'm wishing that I was the one who could time-travel... so I don't have to wait another year for Season 2!!
