Y: The Last Man: Would the world be kind
September 18, 2021 8:36 AM - Season 1, Episode 2 - Subscribe
After a mass casualty event wipes out every creature with a Y chromosome, President Jennifer Brown responds to the crisis. Yorick fears he may be the only survivor. Hero attempts to right a wrong.
About changes to Hero's storyline and other source-material talk:
I thought the change to Hero killing her lover in episode 1 was over the top, but I can see how it paid off in this episode. I really have to reread the comics; the first Vulture recap seems a bit harsh about them, but my memory may have acquired something of a rose-colored tint over 10+ years. I hope they fix the Big Reveal about the cause of the event in this series; that was my biggest disappointment with the comics.

That "fuck the art" moment kind of hit me. Not that I disagreed.
Kimberly struggling into her dress reminded me of her husband zipping up another dress for her. And then the lipstick and pearls.
That conversation between Jennifer and Marla.
Norah trying to get in, desperate, with embarrassed kid.
i'm braindead today and even less insightful than usual. Anyway, here's the Vulture Recap
