“The premise isn’t an easy one to work with,” says Lea Palmieri, “but somehow The Last Man on Earth writers have figured out a way to expand their world without breaking the rules they’ve set in place, or eliciting skepticism or anything close to boredom from invested viewers. This season alone has delved into topics such as feminism, former cartel leaders, and parenting. Bit of a variety there, wouldn’t you say? But, just like the extreme measures they’re taking when it comes to potentially gruesome moments, it all seems to make sense.”
