If you are after a comedy that actually makes you laugh out loud, Future Man is available in Australia on Netflix, and in the UK on Netflix right now. Across 3 seasons, the show has had time to find its rhythm and keep it. 611 people have weighed in on TMDB, and the verdict leans heavily positive. Josh Hutcherson leads a cast with real comic timing. Start it on Netflix whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

There is a reason Future Man keeps coming up in conversation. Future Man does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. Josh Futturman, a janitor by day/world-ranked gamer by night, is tasked with preventing the extinction of humanity after mysterious visitors from the future proclaim him the key to defeating the imminent super-race invasion. Josh Hutcherson and Eliza Coupe lead a cast with the timing to make it work. 3 seasons (2017–2020) gave the story room most shows never get. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Future Man holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, Future Man is a strong candidate. The Big Door Prize is the obvious comparison, but Future Man earns its own place alongside it. A contained run means every episode is doing real work. Josh Hutcherson's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments. The kind of comedy you recommend to someone who claims they do not watch much.

Future Man wrapped up in 2020, created by Ariel Shaffir, Howard Overman and Kyle Hunter — and 3 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
