Future Man

2017–2020 · 3 seasons

A gleefully crude, fast-paced sci-fi comedy that mixes gross-out gags with time-travel chaos and surprisingly earnest character growth.

Tagline: Ripping space and time a new one.
Overview: Josh Futturman, a janitor by day/world-ranked gamer by night, is tasked with preventing the extinction of humanity after mysterious visitors from the future proclaim him the key to defeating the imminent super-race invasion.
How it feels: Absurd, satirical, campy and light. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Coming-of-age, identity, survival, fate
Content: Strong violence, gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
