Imagine a lazy gamer suddenly becoming humanity’s savior, guided by two absurd future warriors. That’s the core of Future Man, a Hulu sci-fi comedy series running from 2017 to 2020. Starring Josh Hutcherson as Josh Futturman, Eliza Coupe as Tiger, and Derek Wilson as Wolf, its three seasons (34 episodes total) are packed with parodies of iconic films like Back to the Future and Terminator, blended with crude humor that’s both hilarious and cringeworthy. Produced by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, the show earned an 82% Rotten Tomatoes rating for its first season and, despite some ups and downs, wrapped up satisfyingly.

Season 1: From Gamer to Hero (2017)

Josh, a janitor at a venereal disease lab who lives with his parents, is obsessed with the game Biotic Wars. One night, he beats its “impossible” final level—and boom! Tiger and Wolf, characters from the game, appear in his room. They reveal the game was a recruitment test for a future war against robots wiping out humanity. Initially just wanting a girlfriend, Josh is dragged into time-hopping missions to prevent the apocalypse. From sabotaging a mad scientist’s lab to a twist about his own dad, this season’s packed with goofy action and instant chemistry among the trio. The cliffhanger ending leaves you hooked: can the future be changed?

Season 2: Crazy Realities and Betrayals (2019)

After surviving the war, Josh, Tiger, and Wolf realize their victory created a worse timeline: a world of bizarre bio-tech creatures and secret lab conspiracies. They recruit new allies like Dr. Stu (Haley Joel Osment), who turns into an evil AI, while facing alternate versions of themselves—arrogant Josh, cocaine-addicted Wolf, and ultra-domestic Tiger. The humor gets wilder with horror and sci-fi references, plus emotional touches about identity and friendship. The season drags a bit with convoluted plots but keeps fans hooked with layered twists.

Season 3: Epic Finale in a Deadly Arena (2020)

The final season takes the trio to a dystopian reality TV world where humans are hunted for entertainment, à la The Running Man. They battle a sinister bureaucrat (Kimberly Hébert Gregory) and face big moral choices—alter time or accept fate? With Seth Rogen’s cameo as a deranged host, these episodes mix brutal action, social media satire, and heartfelt moments. While not the strongest season, the ending hits hard: Josh grows up, their friendship endures, and the series closes with laughter and tears.

Future Man isn’t just time-travel—it’s an absurd party that roasts pop culture while keeping you glued to the screen. If you love The Good Place or Rick and Morty, this is a must-watch. Fair warning: the humor’s raunchy, best for mature audiences. Stream it on platforms like Prime Video, and brace yourself—one episode, and you’re hooked!
