Discuss Y: The Last Man

Is Yorick so incredibly annoying in the comics too? I've seen some really annoying characters in movies and other TV shows, but that guy is dangerously close to the little girls in anime level of infuriating annoyance. Rarely I've seen main character so 'efing stupid. I mean, what can you expect from a person that claims a monkey is his best friend, but why would you write a dumb character like that at all?

And while I do appreciate the grand idea behind the apocalypse and the world that was created by it, all the elements in it, all the characters and all the details are pretty dumb. Just wondering if the show follows the comics closely, because if it does then I have no clue why it got so many fans. Probably as much as amount of people that trip and fall over seemingly empty air in this show.

I am giving this show a chance to develop and maybe all the characters will become less idiots than now, but they all started so low I doubt there will be any significant improvement.

So it's done. This show is just embarrassing, so dull and boring and completely not interesting. It's no wonder that network management saw this and cancelled this borefest. The concept is very familiar and not bad overall. Apocalyptic event causing complete change to the norms and structure of the society and we follow characters in this new world in which they need to adapt, survive and evolve. there are too many shows with such premise. And this show has really interesting apocalypse. I mean, we dealt with all kind of stupid reasons for apocalypse in multiple old shows, but all men dying at once is kind of intriguing.

Unfortunately the second part of this formula is just terrible. The characters are annoying, dumb and completely incompetent, all the plots are idiotic and focus on most boring aspects of surviving apocalypse. It's just not interesting to watch all that stupidity, the plots are not moving forward to anywhere, it's just boring talks about mundane. The president Brown plot was somewhat interesting and had a potential at the start, until they managed to ruin that too in last episodes.

The writing just focuses on completely irrelevant parts of the plots and characters, like a support group of people sitting and telling each other sad stories and crying. Only the stories are not smart and purposeful for moving the plot in interesting way and forcing character development, they are stupid, boring and mundane. No one cares.

It's good that this show was cancelled, we don't need such shows and it should be a good lesson for anyone else.
