Yeah, finally i can say it: i've saw the pílot of #YTheLastMan and this little thread will show my feelings about it. Spoiler alert: i like it. A LOT.

The pilot shows a hsitory very close to the start of the comic book series, with all the men dying except Yorick and his little monkey Ampersand. But thematically, it plays way different. #YTheLastMan

The series is definitely a woman's world since the start, there is just man enough to the women side not be highlighted as such. We saw different women what looks like will be essential to the wrecked world Yorick will have to face it. #YTheLastMan

The politics of not just where is the place a woman have to be, but how all the main character are their relationship with man slowly fading away, like a premonitory disconection of her not been enough, while in the case is all about the Men not be enough anymore. #YTheLastMan

And all this break-ups or almost break-up situations ended to be reflections of the incoming doom. From failing marriages, to non-assumed sleepovers, to double-crosses, women are there to stand into the ground, in the same way Yorick is too [+] #YTheLastMan

but at the end, men are the problem, and now men are dead. #YTheLastMan wisely uses the Trump Era to reflect extremists, rights to equality and the feeling of realization by balance overall, [+]

which make his releasing and most of shooting during a pandemic eerie important to be discussed. And in a world without men, will many of the things pathriarchy imposed over all us will remain stay? Women really believe in that? Why? #YTheLastMan

But around all that, we have Yorick, and he just want to be happy with his girlfirend, and feeling realized professionally as a magiain. But as many from his generations, reality shatters the illusion of a happy ending without consequence. #YTheLastMan

(Finally got a excuse to use this GIF) #YTheLastMan

But some interesting changes were made, to fullfill a season worth of episodes, and also plays the same drama of the comics from a different perspective. [+] #YTheLastMan

In special, Hero Brown have the most heavier change from the books, but is nice see more of Agent 335 and how stone cold she is (and how the governament is using her to hide their own shady bussiness). #YTheLastMan

Dane Lane keeps the ball high in a amazing performance as Jennifer (and is soo nice see her talents be used in more out-of-the-box projects again), and i can't see other person now Yorick as Ben Schnetzer. #YTheLastMan

He have the charm, gravitas and weight to deliver killer perfomance from humor to drama.And the VFX work on Ampersand is INSANELY good. looks and acts with the envirement as a real monkey. #YTheLastMan

But for me, the highçlight of the episode was when the Men died, closing up all the build during the pilot, and the deaths are BRUTAL as it should be with most of the population die from nowhere. Is chaos and blood for a men's world now dead. #YTheLastMan

Also, the male animals also died, what helps the show build up the mystery of why the death happens in the way that happens, and how slowly the episode build the major killing by making the animals appearences more gore and gruesome along the acts. #YTheLastMan

In resume, #YTheLastMan took a immense long time for be done (remember when Shia Labeoulf would play Yorick, in a movie directed by DJ Caruso?), but the wait was worthy for the comic comes in the right format in place. I'll look the next episodes with heavy interest.
