I am so nervous about @Y_FXonHulu . Y - The Last Man is one of the best comic series I've ever read. One of maybe 3 comic runs where I literally cried reading the last issue. I don't want it to MATCH the source material, I want the show to exceed the source material

When Y-The Last Man ended in 08', TV shows centering women weren't nearly as well written as they are today, and shows featuring LGBTQA and Black women were still rare and often 2-Dimensional. Things aren't great today but they're better and @Y_FXonHulu should reflect that

Y-TLM comic had a huge blind spot on race, Agent 355 was the only black speaking character for 90% of the run and there was only one awkward discussion of race that was so terrible and tone deaf it should be buried forever. Hopefully the TV series will do better

Also I don't believe there were ANY Trans or intersex characters in the comic, and without giving away any plot spoilers, that community should play a HUGE role in the world of @Y_FXonHulu . I'll be watching and tweeting, I hope this show lives up to its potential 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👀
