Switching Channels: Y: The Last Man (Patreon)

The long-in-the-works TV version of Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra's acclaimed mid-aughts comics series Y: The Last Man has finally materialized on FX on Hulu, which prompted Keith and Tasha to convene and discuss the choices this series makes in adapting a comic whose ideas about gender and POV character haven't aged particularly well. The central premise is still there, and remains as compelling as it was in the comics, but showrunner Eliza Clark (whom Tasha interviewed over at Polygon) has given this Y its own distinct tone and narrative approach that makes it hard to predict how closely the series will continue to follow the comic as it progresses. We speculate a bit about that, based on the first six episodes we've seen, while keeping it spoiler-lite beyond the events of the premiere.
