Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that The Last Man on Earth is a dark comedy about a man who believes he's alone on the planet after a virus devastates the human population. Our protagonist, Phil, drinks frequently and to excess, at one point filling up a baby pool with vodka and salting the pool's rim. Mild cursing: "What the hell are you doing?" and "Dammit." Frequent sex jokes, such as the protagonist stocking up on adult magazines for masturbation. There's a bit of violence, from exploding cars to guns breaking glass. At one point Phil attempts suicide, pushed to the brink by loneliness, boredom, and despair. But the most vexing issue for parents may be the dark, uncomfortable issues raised by the show's premise.
