In 2022, a cataclysm strikes Earth, seemingly wiping out the population save for former family man and bank employee Phil Miller. Sad and very lonely, Phil travels the United States, Canada and Mexico in his RV searching for other survivors. Striving to hold onto hope that there is at least one other living person, he tries to make the best of circumstances until his path finally crosses with that hoped-for other survivor -- and all becomes more comforting that the person happens to be a woman. As more survivors turn up, complications arise and Phil finds it difficult to co-exist with others again.

It can at least claim to be one of the more original new shows on television. Go to Full Review Kate Erbland Film School Rejects Mar 18, 2015
The apocalypse of Last Man is real, and Forte, Lord, and Miller aren't afraid to show the toll it's taken on both Phil and Carol in vastly different ways. Go to Full Review Matt Brennan IndieWire Mar 11, 2015
Credit for the success of this gambit falls largely to Schaal, who manages to transform the rather shrill rule-follower, harping on proper grammar and traffic laws, into engaging, funny company. Go to Full Review Peter Counter That Shelf Aug 13, 2024
It’s a pretty good bet that if you like Miller and Lord’s previous work (Clone High, Lego Movie) you will at least like the pilot, but if you like Will Forte’s weirder SNL work this should be high on your list of things to watch. Go to Full Review Randy Dankievitch TV Over Mind Mar 12, 2020
The Last Man on Earth is the most fascinating comedy premiere in recent memory, a surprisingly reflective show. Go to Full Review Matt Patches Esquire Magazine Oct 19, 2018
As the show makes hysterically clear, if the weight of the world falls on a 21st century man's shoulders, the slovenly, lazy, daydreaming animal inside is quick to emerge. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

K T @Gloom Jul 15, 2026 Some great moments, but oh boy is a lot of it underwhelming and unfunny. See more Nitsan F @RT29440553 Jun 16, 2026 Worth watching for seasons of 1 for sure. Very funny. And maybe season 2. Season 3 is awful. Just horrible and depressing and boring. See more Terran F. @Neptoon Mar 12, 2026 One of the funniest show I’ve ever watched See more Michael T. @Buster291157 Feb 11, 2026 First one to do this type of dystopian only person left shows See more Flynn S @Flynn194 Sep 5, 2025 Very funny and entertaining when it gets good it’s good.
