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.

I watch a lot of TV. I work usually all day so i select a couple episodes of my shows and watch 3- 4 hours of each from around 8p.m.till around 2 or even 4a.m. Never till now has a show roped me in an taken up my entire night of TV. It has everything that a good all around mature audience based TV show should. I Love it! I started my IMDb just to review this show. It is with out a doubt the funniest, most action packed, and semi serious show I've seen. H has great shows but this one has hit that sweet spot me and my friends have been waiting for.
Not perfect, but kinda great

I was to give this a 9 out of 10, just because I went to sleep after watching this having a huge sh!t eating grin on my face, which I can't remember was the last time it happened. But I'm trying to be objective here.
While I can write how it's a love letter to 80's, The Terminator, James Cameron, etc, I'm not going to do that. That's probably the least important part, though it adds atmosphere. Comedy in this can be crude, but very self aware, sometimes very predictable, but the timing is everything. And it damn works.
While the acting could be a notch less telegraphed, it's fine. Photography is great, music is kicking all kinds of asses. Visually, it's a great looking show.
Casting is mostly good, and it's worth mentioning that this is one of the last projects Glenne Headly did before her death.
While it starts kinda whatever, each episode gets better. It's a bit raw, and it's damn fun all over the place.
I'm very pleased with this, watch at least first episode and you'll see if it's for you or not.

In the tradition of, "Space Cop"

"Future Man," balances a mix of three genres, action, sci-fi, and comedy...in the tradition of "Space Cop." I felt compelled to mention "Space Cop," because although "Future Man," does give credit to some of the movies that obviously inspired it (and which it spoofs), i.e. The Last Starfighter, Back To The Future, and The Terminator, to name a few, it fails to give a shout out to the Red Letter Media guys even though right from the beginning we get voice over that sounds just like Rich Evans as Space Cop.
With that out of the way, I'm thankful to whoever at Hulu was bright enough to realize this show could work. "Future Man," is well cast, and well executed. It manages to be blunt with action and violence and subtle at the same time, making many jokes that could go by unnoticed if you aren't paying attention. And despite cookie cutter character archetypes, all of the actors give convincing performances that make me care about them and excited to be along for the ride.
If you enjoy sci-fi/action movies from the 80's and 90's,then I can't imagine how you wouldn't love, "Future Man," a series that both celebrates those films and pokes fun of them at the same time.
Time-travel done right!! (No rules, just fun!!)

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!!
