Me Him Her: Max Landis Embarrasses Himself Again

Me Him Her: Max Landis Embarrasses Himself Again by Jon Winkler

The return of ‘Last Man on Earth’ kicked off with a daring twist. Could this mean darker times ahead?

Here at Hidden Remote we were counting down the days until we got to see Phil Miller grace our screens again! We’ll be counting down for a bit longer as last week’s episode focused completely on Mike (Jason Sudekis). Which was fine by us as the story of Phil’s (Will Forte) astronaut brother was just as entertaining as we had hoped!

We always knew the universe of The Last Man on Earth was bleak and empty, but the Season 2 mid-season premiere finally gave us a glimpse of the grisly aftermath of the virus that affected Earth.

When Mike runs into our seaman, Pat Brown (Mark Boone Jr.), he’s taken to the mainland and introduced to how the virus killed people. We’re left with the imagery of body bags lined up and we finally get a sense of what the end of days was like.

Are the writers setting the stage for an even darker comedy in this half of Season 2? Sure, we’ve seen both Millers nearly commit suicide, the more handsome Phil (Boris Kodjoe) was flat lined on a table last time we saw him, and even Will Ferrell’s cameo was a death we didn’t expect, yet the show has always remained upbeat.

That was until we saw those body bags all lined up in their neat little rows. Our hearts dropped to our stomachs, our heartbeats quickened, and we were left to ponder for just a brief moment how the end of the world was for those on Earth.

Here at Hidden Remote, we think we’re in for a wild ride for the remainder of Season 2!
