Janitor Josh Futturman leads a pretty boring life, spending much of his time playing video games when he's not working. Things change, though, when he beats a video game that the rest of the world has given up on, thinking it was unbeatable. After he defeats the game, mysterious visitors from the future appear. They put the world in danger, and Josh is the only person who can save it. He assembles a team to assist him as he travels through time, completing various missions as he does whatever he can to try to save Earth from the extraterrestrial visitors.

Karl Quinn The Age (Australia) 03/20/2020
It's absurd, childish, occasionally hilarious, and frequently inventive... I'm not going to make any great claims for the social significance of Future Man. But I will say it's good fun. Go to Full Review

4.5/5
Very rarely is a second season better than the first, but Future Man season 2 is pretty close to being just as good as season 1. A must watch! Go to Full Review
Chris Osterndorf The Daily Dot 02/06/2019
3/5
Yet while Future Man is inherently serialized, it was nice that its freewheeling, often maddening lack of focus in season 1 also gave it the ability to drop the larger narrative and do, say, a Breaking Bad parody. Go to Full Review

4/5
Future Man's strength as a series has been the writers' willingness to take the sci-fi seriously, and indeed there are times when you almost want the joke to be done so you can find out what happens next in the story. Go to Full Review

8/10
Thanks to some great acting on behalf of the supporting cast, the show is able to keep up the off-kilter vibe of the show's beginnings, even though the settings might not be as excitingly varied. Go to Full Review

Jessica B @Jessicab123 Nov 15 Bit late to the party but thought I'd give it a watch as it came on Netflix. I must say I am thoroughly enjoying it. There are parts that have made me split my sides laughing, especially Wolf. It pokes fun at itself and it really is hilarious but with a meaningful plot and great character development. Can't believe I haven't heard of this before now! See more Regal R 12/04/2024 50/100 - weak sauce. boring storyline, See more Joel P 05/18/2024 Hardly anyone will watch this show, its platform hasn't given it the exposure it deserves. Season 2 was certainly an overall drop in quality compared to season 1, but the moments of brilliant humour and flawless comic timing are highlights worth watching by for. See more Ben H 03/07/2023 Watching S2 right after S1 was extremely disappointing. It had none of the fun premises that the first season used. The conflict felt half-baked and sort of lame compared to the first season. Splitting up the characters makes sense story wise but boy does it not work at all. The show thrives when all 3 of them are together, I would say the first 2-3 episodes are good, the middle 4-10 are bad, and the last 11-13 are back up to quality. See more Nick N @Nickstreet 12/23/2022 The first season was awesome very funny I'm four episodes in the second season and it's dropped off big time don't think I've laughed once… probably watch a few more episodes hopefully improves… will update review. See more Anton A 12/29/2021 2nd season felt less cohesive to me. The "team" was thrown in their own mini-arcs which, to be honest, made them alienated See more Read all reviews
