RESPONSE TO THE SHOW
The show was very well acclaimed by the critics and the audience also seemed to love the third installment. It is said that the best thing in the show is the chemistry which the characters share amongst each other and the dumb, but meant to be fun comedy, sequences which lighten the sci-fi season.
In 2018, the show was nominated for the “Best New Media Super Hero Series” at the 44th Saturn Awards.
THE SCI-FI PART
The series, especially the latest season, provides the viewers really cool science concepts from the Time-Traveling Device to the DNA-based transmitter, to Haven, the land after time. These concepts are those which are not heard much of in general science. This is the beauty of the show.
Future Man is the best amalgamation of ‘situational comedy’, unique script, and great unique scientific episodes. Definitely a binge-watch, especially for the kids. The show aired all its eight episodes of season 3 on the 3rd, this month.
