The dystopian horror of a world violently rewritten by the sudden death of every cisgendered male mammal except for the seemingly unremarkable Yorick Brown (Ben Schnetzer) and his pet monkey Ampersand, Y was thoughtful in its updates (the original comic debuted in 2002) but languid in its execution. “No tights, no flights” was the rule (at least for a few seasons), preferring to build a heartland soap about a young Clark Kent (Tom Welling) who had to keep his origins a secret from his crush Lana (Kristen Kreuk) and curious friend Lex Luthor (Michael Rosenbaum) while trying to learn about them himself.
