Jake S More than one man in a show called "The Last Man" diverged significantly from the source material with this change. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/11/23 Full Review Tarek A First off the comic book is a masterpiece worth reading end to end, and this series attempts an homage to the spirit of the original work.The overall scenario and premise are pretty shocking but not unimagined or uncalled for by some members of society today. In summary, how would a world without men function? This is a relevant question given the gender-based introspection and analysis that most communities undertake nowadays. The production values are adequate for a post-apocalyptic thriller, with the requisite gore and devastation elements. What is more interesting is the psychological and mental state of the survivors as they navigate a new reality. Y himself, the titular character, is present as a man who did not ask to be last, hence most apparently valuable or precious. It would make sense they would choose a bland uninspiring weak individual to take this role, instead of an uber-ambitious alpha. It's interesting that in a world devoid of men civilization collapses and the rule of the strong takes over almost instantly, with the weak preyed upon like lambs. It's almost as though gender wasn't the root cause. Of course, every opportunity is taken to start cults of personalities, with the rank hypocrisy of evicting to death those who do not agree with the demagogue's worldview. Perhaps the biggest plot hole would be that the patriarchy offed itself in a giant government conspiracy. You can't make this nonsense up. I can understand why the series was rejected and cancelled. Towards the end, the descent into tribal feral animalistic tendencies of the surviving women was quite disappointing and at times revolting. There was no message of peace and hope. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/31/23 Full Review Don J Terribly disappointing. Needed a real man not this pathetic excuse for one. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/27/23 Full Review Nash H I absolutely loved this show it was awesome too bad everything get cancelled these days Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review David F A lot of people complained that this series depicts women as inferior, and unable to run the world by themselves. I wish those folks would just take the following into consideration:If half the world died, the other half would be in chaos…. No matter WHAT SEX THEY ARE! Human beings are imperfect, emotional, and fallible. This series is not being sexist…. they are just being realistic. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review ana e This show is bad in ways that make it really hard to watch. Way too many characters are made to be stupid or weak in order to make other characters shine. There's a mean girls club. Theres a meanie 007. A guy with ZERO sense of self preservation. I guess its easier to do this sort of thing than write a smart show where people do things that make sense. I don't want to ruin what little plot there is. And you can't blame the actors for poor writing and character development. There was so much room to make this show smart or suspenseful or adventurous. But no. Its lame and they'll ocasionally hit you over the head with a politically correct lesson of the day. Fortunately it doesn't happen too often. At least theres that.

Critics Reviews

Benji Wilson Daily Telegraph (UK) This is TV machine-tooled for the times we live in. Rated: 4/5 Dec 15, 2021 Full Review Lucy Mangan Guardian It is, simply as an apocalypse drama, good enough. Rated: 3/5 Dec 15, 2021 Full Review Helen O'Hara Empire Magazine Well-drawn characters and propulsive storytelling hint that brighter days will come - if this lot can just survive the immediate post-apocalypse. Rated: 4/5 Dec 15, 2021 Full Review Michael Cuby them. While this premise originally lent itself to a hyper-myopic understanding of gender, the writers and producers have appropriately chosen to update this for the show... Sep 26, 2022 Full Review Alexandra MacAaron Women's Voices for Change 'Y: The Last Man' raises many more questions than it answers. It’s also smart, timely, compelling, and extraordinarily well-acted television. In fact, Lane’s performance alone is worth 60 minutes of your time each week. Rated: 7.5/10 Aug 25, 2022 Full Review Natalia Trzenko La Nación (Argentina) Thanks to her craft and well-known expressiveness, Lane manages to be the focal point of every scene.
