Y: The Last Man First Three Episodes Review
1,040Y: The Last Man premieres with three episodes on Monday, Sept. 13 on FX on Hulu. Spoiler-free review by Matt Fowler.
Y: The Last Man thankfully gives us a few episodes to watch at the outset, as the story doesn't begin to pick up and take proper shape until the third one. The tale definitely has unique elements and a ghastly hook, but the actual doomsday-focused moments don't land as provocatively as intended given the overcrowded landscape of dystopian ruin in pop culture. That plus the story's overall focus on the governing instead of the governed makes for a sludgy watch at times. Still, there are enough seeds planted in these first three episodes to bloom into something exciting and interesting going forward, and we're certainly left with one hell of a moment to chew on.
