Future Man S3
Four-time Teen Choice winner Josh Hutcherson (The Hunger Games) stars as Josh Futturman, a janitor by day, gamer by night, who is recruited by mysterious visitors to travel through time in order to prevent the extinction of humanity at the hands of an imminent super-race invasion.
Seth Rogen plays Susan and is also a director and executive producer on the series, but the real stars are Eliza Coupe (Casual) and Derek Wilson (Rectify) as fan favourites Tiger and Wolf.
The sci-fi comedy has a 91% critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with Den of Geek hailing it as “a modern classic” that “ends with one of the funniest gags that I’ve ever seen a show go out on.”
