* TooBleakStoppedCaring: The series is almost wallowing in how bleak its setting is (a sharp contrast with the often humorous comics), while being populated by either unlikable, flat or lethally stupid characters, who all scheme against each other or never seem content with enough [[KickTheDog dog-kicking]]. To somehow make it worse, Yorick got [[AdaptationPersonalityChange adopted into]] a self-centred jerk with no sense of self-preservation, making it hard to sympathise with the main character. All of this was reflected in ever-dropping viewership, only further encouraging the network to cut the series they didn't want in the first place.

* {{Narm}}: The drunken rant by Dr. Mann about losing biodiversity. It is so over the top, what's intended to show the character as broken and depressed turns into a comedy skid - further compounded by the character being made into an AdaptationalComicRelief and clashing with how serious the scene is intended to be.

* TooBleakStoppedCaring: The series is almost wallowing in how bleak its setting is (a sharp contrast with the often humorous comics), while being populated by either unlikable, flat or lethally stupid characters. Yorick getting hit hard with AdaptationPersonalityChange into being obnoxious and whinny made him, the main character, one of the most off-putting elements of the series. If the network didn't doom the series, the bleakness did the rest, killing viewership even prior cancellation.

* HarsherInHindsight: When written and filmed, a series involving bickering Republicans trying to deny the legal US government because it being from the "wrong" party seemed like a collection of [[StrawCharacter political caricatures]]. And just as outlandish was the idea of [[spoiler: a mob storming the government buildings in attempt to have it their way]]. By the time the series aired, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_6_United_States_Capitol_attack United States Capitol was already stormed]], over allegations of a "stolen" election and presidential office.

* {{Misblamed}}: Hulu gets a lot of flak for cancelling the show after just a single season. But once they released partial viewership data, it became clear the show was leaking viewers episode-by-episode, making it just unreasonable to continue its production.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: A big criticism of the comics was there was little to no representation of the experiences of transmen in the post-unmanned world. Sam's character rectifies that.

* EightDeadlyWords: Characters either suffer from AdaptationalJerkass syndrome or are turned paper-thin and just as flat. This translated into such sharp decline of viewers, [[Creator/FXNetworks FX]] cancelled the show even before airing all episodes of first season.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: A big criticism of the comics was the little to no representation or the experiences of transgender men in the situation. Sam’s character rectifies that.
* NightmareFuel: As bad as it was in the comics, the pilot shows the full horror of every man on Earth dying at once with crashes, mothers screaming over their children, and more.
* WatchedItForTheRepresentation: The show is a brutal deconstruction on the LadyLand FeministFantasy staring a WhiteMaleLead, but you'll find no shortage of women and people on the LGBTQ spectrum singing its praise for a cast composed almost entirely of actresses and trans-male actors.
