The program directors of the Hulu channel keep their nose to the wind, perfectly feel the trends and promising shows that can not only gather an impressive audience from the screens, but later become cult. Hulu hosted a new fantastic tv series by creators of the scandalous "Preacher" Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, they clearly fell into the bullseye, as "Future Man" - without a doubt one of the best comedy series of the year.
It's very difficult to talk about him avoiding spoilers, but I'll try.

The protagonist of the series - John Connor Josh (Josh Hutcherson) lives with his parents, works as a cleaner in a large pharmacological company and devotes all his free time to video games. More precisely one old game, which no one has ever gone through. One evening he manages to pass the final level, which turned out to be a favorite test and two warriors appear in his room: Kyle Reese and Sarah Connor (Derek Wilson and Eliza Coupe) from the future, who announce to the guy what he is destined to save the world and dragged along insane adventures in time.

The main thing you need to know about this show is that it's Kyle Hunter and Ariel Shaffir who are the permanent authors, who worked with Seth Rogen on the "Sausage party", "Interview", "Night before" and other films .
In "Future Man" these comrades go without any brakes in the classics, mocking the "Terminator" from which not only that the main storyline is taken, but also the fonts for the credits, the classic "Back to the Future" with a trip to the 50's and 60's, the general nostalgia for the 80th (this episode is just infernal), and even a "Breaking Bad" gets his share of bullying, which is not at all surprising - Rogen and Goldberg work together on "Preacher" with Sam Kathleen and Michael Slovis - "Heisenberg's fathers".
But most of all goes to James Cameron. Not only that the fuel for the time machine is called "cameronium" so one of the completely sealed episodes is dedicated to the dialogue of the characters with its "smart house", which is also far from delighted with the creativity of its master. It's crazily funny and unwittingly brings to the parallels with "Rick and Morty" Dan Harmon, who also, in a rather rude form, rapes all sorts of fantastic clichés. The warriors coming from the future (as well as Rick) are fiercely swearing, laser cannons - scorch in all directions, the heads explode, the temporary paradoxes overlap one another like a layered cake, and because the main character has migrated to the series from the "Hunger Games" , and the heroine - from the "Scrubs" becomes even more amusing. About the Wolf (Derek Wilson) generally keep quiet - funnier than this male-brutal in the series has not yet been.
The series is categorically contraindicated for children. The abundance of dialogues in the most abusive English, usual for Rogin and Goldberg jokes below the belt, and of course scenes that only those who watched Terminator in the golden era of VHS can appreciate.
Subjective rating 10 of 10
P.S. How do you order not to felt in love with the tv series, one of the best episodes of which is called "A Blowjob Before Dying"
