There's been a few mentions in the Upcoming Shows thread, but I think this show deserves it's own thread.
I knew I'd find it funny, because Will Forte is hilarious, but goddamn did this blow me away.
For those who haven't heard of it - a mysterious virus has wiped out all living creatures except for one man, Phil Miller.
The virus isn't explained at all, nor does it need to be. The show isn't at all about that.
It's a hilarious take on what the average person would do if in that situation.
But it's not just balls to the walls comedy either, there are some deeply dark and sad moments intertwined in such a way that it flows remarkably well between moods. You get caught up in the world almost as much as Phil Miller does until you're hit in the face with reality again.
Anyway, two episodes in and it's going strong. I can't wait to see where it goes.

When he's playing pool with his ball friends and decides to go with Gary to check out the hot babe mannequin at the store. You don't forget that he's alone, but it's played so well that you smile along at the goofiness - until the mannequin's arm comes off and Phil's realisation that he's lost all dignity and is now becoming attracted to mannequins and going on adventures with sporting equipment... that was heavy man. Perfectly played by Forte.
Anyway, two episodes in and it's going strong. I can't wait to see where it goes.
