love it

I like Will Forte. He plays the selfish bachelor well. Many of the negative reviews seem to expect Will Smith- not Will Forte. This is a slapstick parody- not I Am Legend. He's not the most attractive guy and he just does whatever because he literally has no one to impress. The beginning glosses over the imaginative "I would drive a Rolls Royce through a museum" because he's obviously done that. It's 2 years after everyone left- he traveled the country in search of life. Now he's resolved to fate and simply, utterly bored.

Should he work out like Will Smith in I am Legend? Why? No zombies are chasing him? Should he make a farm? Why? There's plenty of preserved food out there. Running water? Why is that needed? There's plenty of bottled water out there and he doesn't really need to smell good for anyone. All of the negative reviews come from people who didn't want a comedy- they want another post-apocalyptic soap opera à la (Walking Dead/Revolution/The 100/Z Nation/Falling Skies/Lost/Jericho). This show is literally refreshing right now. I hope this show doesn't get canceled- it'll run out of content after a season or 2 more but I just like seeing Will Forte is a walking cartoon and I like his humor.
