Future Man

Whether it's a line in the dialogue, or the scene itself, nearly everything that happens in Future Man is a spoof of some sort. The references are all across the board, from Easy Rider to Midnight Cowboy to Terminator to Back To The Future to Top Gun and on and on, each scene in this show is either a spoof or homage to famous TV shows and/or Films of yesteryear, especially isolated when the characters time travel to a particular year.

How they go from scene to scene or situation to situation seems a bit forced throughout the series, as the pop culture references seem to be the most important element in the writing of the show, is sometimes forced and ham handed, but make no mistake about it, this show is all about spoofing pop culture first and foremost.

Once you understand this mechanic of the story-telling, the rest just falls into place.

Sometimes the references are laugh out loud funny, other times they simply make your eyes roll.

One thing is for sure about this show, don't take any of it seriously and please ignore the many plot holes in it.

Half the reviews hated it for being too SJW, and the other half hated it for being too insensitive and dudebro comedy. I don't know what timeline I'm in anymore, but this is a great show so far. My only complaint was the use of a joystick in a video game, but at this point, I'm pretty sure that was ironic. For all you radical centrists out there, it's just a funny show. Enjoy.

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.

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.

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!
