Future Man

Inventive and frequently hilarious. ... Future Man has a firm grasp of what it is and where it’s going. Coupe and Wilson excel as goal-fixated warriors from the future without any social graces while Hutcherson shines as a nebbish who both talks them down and strives to keep his own heart from beating off the charts.

The farce, like the puns, the gross-out humor, and the pop culture jokes, can be excessive, especially over 13 episodes. But the charm of the cast, including Ed Begley Jr., Keith David, Haley Joel Osment, Martin Starr, and the late Glenne Headly, makes it all easy to watch.

Future Man is an uncomplicated and often hilarious escapist comedy. Josh Futterman may be in over his head, but it's a lot of fun for the rest of us.

Once you know that Future Man is written and produced by Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, Kyle Hunter, and Ariel Shaffir, the team behind the epically uncouth cartoon Sausage Party, further explanation becomes almost totally unnecessary. It's a comic onslaught against video-gamers and their culture of the past 30 years or so, with the occasional random shot at baby boomers so they won't be left out of the fun.

Future Man finds a decent denouement to close out its triptych of seasons, and those who enjoyed past installments won’t be let down by this one. If only all that traveling through space and time could have found a more richly developed series.

The pilot for “Future Man,” available Tuesday, takes a little too long to get to the show’s premise — viewers offended by the profane be advised: there are a lot of f-bombs — but “Future Man” is funny enough in its meta commentary on media culture that it’s sure to appeal to the young male audience it targets.

Mostly lame, but also good-natured, with an amusing finale.

Future Man Season 3 is short, interesting, funny and just not enough to watch.

A fitting adult tribute to Back to the Future (one of my favs) and pretty hilarious to boot.

Having caused havoc with all their time travelling, the trio are taken to jail in 3491 and soon find their loyalties tested. Future Man’s shortened third season (just 8 episodes), and final, season meanders a little plot wise, but it retains the shows ridiculous scenarios and over the top comedy style. This won’t win over any new fans, but anyone that has enjoyed this show up to now won’t be disappointed.

Really wanted to like this - but after 4 episodes I 'just didn't get into it'. May have been 'me', but the show never really clicked at all.
