Y: The Last Man Teaser
It’s only about 30 seconds of footage, but the teaser goes out of its way to assure both newcomers and fans of the tone they can expect from the show.The first trailerleaned into the horror, tragedy, and self-seriousness of it all, which makes a certain amount of sense as it had to introduce potential viewers to the unusual premise while selling itself as a marquee, can’t-miss event. Ideally, audiences will now be a little more familiar with the idea that a catastrophic virus wiped out every single mammal with a Y chromosome … every mammal except for one man and his capuchin monkey, at least. That growing familiarity allows this new teaser to swing the tonal direction all the way back to plenty of wry humor amid the devastation, a very human reflex that we can understand without actually having to go through an apocalypse.
