Despite the game energy of its cast, Future Man is mostly routine homage, with very little substance shoring up its derivative foundations.

Despite an over reliance on gross, puerile humor, Future Man tempers its baser instincts with moments that either prompt genuine laughs or, on occasion, result in unexpected sincerity.

The central joke -- that the initially hapless Josh is not at all what the future was hoping to find -- is a good one, and it keeps paying off.

Emboldened to look ahead, I'm predicting a good time for all.

This outrageous time-tripping, action-comedy subverts the tiresome angst of the current Marvel invasion with a truly marvelous and hilarious twist on reluctant heroism.

If you're one to be won over by knowingly nostalgic nods livened up by vulgarities and violence - not to mention the always addictive presence of Coupe - this Hulu series is likely a fine, fun distraction for the present.

Future Man, with its hit or miss quality, leans into some well-worn tropes while also bucking some others quite brilliantly.

For the most part, Future Man works. The show gets a lot of help from its cast.

Too much of this is standard-issue Rogen/Goldberg, with violence, raw language and plotting that's occasionally so lazy it hardly rises to the level of plot: more like a fast dash through chase scenes, fight scenes and comic relief scenes.

Everything feels meticulously, lovingly plotted by the show's creators, but as it's happening it leads to numerous surprises and big laughs. Future Man is what happens when giddy, geeky and inspired storytelling is allowed to go full throttle.
