At a time when dystopian stories are flourishing, FX's comic adaptation of YTheLastMan takes an uninspired route. LacyMB reviews the series, coming soon to Hulu:
have been waiting for years to see Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra’s post-apocalyptic tale brought to life. And to be honest, in a television era where dystopian stories of the contemporary, speculative, and fantastical variety are flourishing on both mainstream cable networks and niche streamers, it’s sort of surprising that it’s taken so long for someone to tackle this particular property.
Yet, FX’s new small screen adaptation proves nothing so much as the fact that that assumption may not have been entirely correct. The story ofmay feel uncomfortably familiar for some viewers: a global pandemic essentially decimates the Earth, killing every mammal with a Y chromosome. Planes crash, world leaders drop dead, scores of animals and bodies litter the streets. In the wake of this destruction, the women of the world must figure out a way to build a new world from these ashes.
The mysterious Agent 555 is tasked with keeping Yorick alive and shepherding him on an increasingly dangerous search for a geneticist who may or may not be able to figure out why he’s still alive. And then there’s Nora Brady , the now-dead former president’s press secretary, who’s willing to do anything to protect her young daughter even if it means living among a dangerous group of survivalists.
The show is purposefully vague about basic facts and offers few clues about how the world restructured itself into what suddenly seems like a new status quo. There are apparently gangs of roving, furious women outside the White House, clogging the streets near government camps, setting up heavily armed fortifications in local big box stores.
