Future Man

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!

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.

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!!

Just finished season 1, it was totally awesome and fun watching. I had watched all the episodes continuously till the end of season 1, so there were moments i felt it's not moving forward at the same pace but after the ending i definitely felt good. It was totally satisfying to watch.

Edit: Ow season 2 was on a whole different level. This season focused more on the exploration of all the lead characters, their strength, weakness and more weaknesses. So the plot development was reasonably slow and also everything about this timeline of future, Mars, anything made no sense. It's like they waste too much time on building up. The last episode was great and ended with a mindblowing cliffhanger.

Edit: Yeah, season 3 is great. All those historical figures living in eternity sounds like utopia. This very idea is funny though. At last the explosion of base on true story is what made it hilariously funny.

Since i watched it to spend my time and have fun and not for absolute logic, it's worth it. To be honest, time travelling itself doesn't make sense.

My score is based on what the show is trying to be, which is loosely a sci-fi with a bunch of ridiculous inept characters. It's main gimmick is time travel utilized to stop a dystopia future from taking place. Two of our main protagonists, Tiger & Wolf, send a game back in time with the idea that the individual who beats it will be their savior. Right, like 'The Last Starfighter', which the main character Hutchinson immediately points out which should cue you in as to what kind of show you're in for.

The rest is bumbling through time making mistake after mistake creating wide ranging ripples changing the lives of those connected to these characters. Over the top violence from Tiger & Wolf, Hutchinson trying his best to keep up and often times even leading. All the while there's subtle hints, jokes, and puns about other types of shows and movies involving time travel. There's even a whole episode about James Cameron poking fun at the Alien and Terminator franchises.

First and foremost this is a comedy so don't expect any hard science fiction. Yes it's crude, absurd, silly, weird, and never for a second takes itself seriously, but that's why I personally liked it and would definitely watch another season.
