Anybody watching? Kind of a cool idea from a well known comic series. I bought the first book of comics for my stepson and I ended up reading it. Maybe the first dozen comics or so. I liked it but never followed up with it. Just finished up the first episode. In a nutshell it’s about some kind of virus that strikes and kills all the men on the planet except for one, or so we are lead to believe early on. It’s an FX/Hulu production

Into episode 2…. There are other men but very few. Different than the comic.

Read the entire comic about 15 years ago I think. Gonna dig it out and read it again before watching the series.

Annoyed to hear there are other men. Doesn't that kinda defeat the purpose of the title of the series?

This show sounds far too cisgendered to be popular.

The character may have been transgendered. Sorry for the confusion. I’m going with no men left

Did they specify the chromosomal makeup of the last man? Or are you just assuming?!?

Well, if I'm wrong, it's either going to be 1 season or very hard to follow.

I’m through episode 5. I’m confounded with this show. It’s a pretty cool premise but it moves so slowly that I can’t wait for the show to get over with. I’ll hang in a bit longer. I’m digging the Diane Lane character who looks like she hasn’t showered in a month. Ummmm… maybe I should have kept that to myself. Hard to believe she’s 56 now.

Through episode 8 now. Overall I am enjoying the series and they have brought in a couple of interesting story lines regarding two different groups of women that are surviving and setting up societies in different ways. Again I would like it to move a little bit more quickly but I believe they are doing a pretty decent job telling the story. I don't think I read the comic much further than where they are now so I really have no idea what will be happening next. I recommend it overall. If you don't like it after the first couple of episodes than you should probably cut bait.

Yeah that is too bad. Didn't sound like it was because of ratings or anything but the behind the scenes stuff appeared to be a shit show.
