- Future Man, at times, is a really fun and compelling sci-fi caper that cleverly takes established time travel tropes and twists them into dark delicious trauma. It's also, however, a lazy-ish mishmash of gross-out gags and dull d*** jokes. The cast is wonderful, but sometimes the material is beneath the performances.

This is a spoiler-free review for all 13 new episodes of Hulu's Future Man - which premiered Tuesday, November 14th.
Here's the thing about Hulu's Future Man, which stars The Hunger Games' Josh Hutcherson as a homebody gamer who gets recruited into an epic quest to save humanity's future: it's good. It has a lot going for it, including the cast, which also features Happy Endings' Eliza Coupe and Preacher's Derek Wilson. The idea of a go-for-broke time travel action comedy is solid and Future Man is nothing if not committed to certain elements of shock and awe laughs.
Where the series falters somewhat (I've watched all of Season 1, which premiered this past Tuesday) is actually in that very commitment. Occasionally the series, which goes all in on gross-out visual humor, becomes its own worst enemy by going overboard with raunch. There's nothing inherently wrong with comedic vulgarity, but in order to make the crass elements funny there also needs to be some restraint. Netflix's Big Mouth ran into these issues recently as well, where all of a sudden creators land on a streaming service and have license to, basically, do and show what ever they want without fear of advertisers, demographics, or decency standards and a certain unmeasurable quantity of "funny" gets lost in their gusto to put absolutely everything out there.
Future Man stumbles in this regard, as moments within the season involving soaring ejaculate, broken fingers, herpes sores, and many other instances of visual ickiness work to undercut the silliness that's already present. Future Man reminds me of when the Farrelly brothers struck oil with Dumb & Dumber and There's Something About Mary and then tried to hit us with Say It Isn't So, which was just a long string of gross gotcha gags stitched together. Yes, when it comes to disgusting sight gags, Future Man sometimes can't get out of its own way.
Future Man, at times, is a really fun and compelling sci-fi caper that cleverly takes established time travel tropes and twists them into dark delicious trauma. It's also, however, a lazy-ish mishmash of gross-out gags and dull d*** jokes. The cast is wonderful, but sometimes the material is beneath the performances.
Nov 19, 2017 · Verdict - 7.5/10. 7.5/10. This comedy/ sci-fi mash-up is clearly geared toward young male adults with its video game inspired plot line and crude jokes but the way it manages to exceed these expectations make Future Man one of the most unlikely comedy successes this year.
Future Man: Created by Kyle Hunter, Howard Overman, Ariel Shaffir. With Josh Hutcherson, Eliza Coupe, Derek Wilson, Haley Joel Osment. Josh Futturman, a janitor by day and a gamer by night, is recruited by mysterious visitors to travel through time to prevent the extinction of humanity.
