Critics' reviews

"Silly and mindlessly enjoyable (...) It’s a dumb, profane and predictable show that works because it never once aims for greatness."

Hank Stuever: The Washington Post
"Is it clever and knowing or is it obvious and pandering? The correct answer is probably, 'Yes. All of those things.'"

Daniel Fienberg: The Hollywood Reporter
"Raunchy, funny and silly (...) 'Future Man' may not be sophisticated comedy, but its unabashed cleverness and fun are hard to resist."

David Wiegand: San Francisco Chronicle
"'Future Man' is mostly routine homage, with very little substance shoring up its derivative foundations (...) Josh is not a memorable character"

Maureen Ryan: Variety
"A fine addition to the sci-fi-meets-comedy universe (...) The humor goes beyond the easy laughs"

Jessica Shaw: Entertainment Weekly
"'Future Man' is every bit the cheese-fest you expect it to be, but (...) that cheese exists in a realm of self-awareness that makes the show work."

Merrill Barr: Forbes
