"The Last Man on Earth" - Season 2

The second season of "The Last Man on Earth" just ended, and it was quite an eventful season and ended with a big cliffhanger! Season two was very different from the first one. For instance, this season is based in Malibu, California because the group left the culdesac in Tuscon, Arizona and moved away after kicking "Phil"/"Tandy" out of the group and leaving him for dead in the Arizona desert. Luckily, in the season one finale, "Carol" saves "Phil" and they drive off together in the very end.

Well, they ended up moving into the White House together and driving around in a jet, just doing fun and reckless things because no one else exists anymore. It's the same fun stuff "Phil" did in the early episodes of season one. The only difference is that "Carol" joins in on the fun with "Phil" now that they're happily married. "Carol" even joins him in his margarita filled baby pool. They seem much closer in this season, and "Phil" actually has real feelings for "Carol" now. It's also much more serious than the first comical season. We see two characters die in this new season (almost three), including Will Ferrell's character, "Gordon". He's only in one episode as "Gale's" lover and the owner of the  Malibu beach mansion that the group is living in now. He is killed when "Phil & Carol" catch up with the group in California, and "Carol" surprises them by popping out and saying "BOO!" Which startles "Gordon" and causes him to die of a heart attack. The second character that dies is the other "Phil Miller" (black "Phil"), when he gets appendicitis and there are no doctors left in the world to safely remove his appendix. "Gale" tries to do the operation without any prior medical training and fails miserably.

Then there is an addition of a new character; "Phil"/"Tandy's" brother, "Mike Miller" (played by Jason Sudekis). He finally comes back down to earth after spending three years at the International Space Station and learning that everyone on the planet died of a contagious virus. He risks it anyway, and finally reunites with his brother! With black "Phil" dead and the arrival of "Mike Miller", there is a much different dynamic to the group. There is no longer an alpha dog / leader, and things quickly fall apart for the group. The guy-girl ratio is way off, so "Todd" has two girlfriends now - "Melissa" AND "Gale". Meanwhile, "Carol" and "Erica" are both pregnant!

In the season finale, it appears that "Mike" has caught the virus that wiped out the whole world while he was in space. Sadly, he convinces his brother "Phil" to let him go to Tuscon, Arizona alone to die peacefully in their family home. The very last scene shows other survivors on a boat, then they see three heavily armed people in hazmat suits headed right to the shore in front of the beach house! So, we'll have to wait until season three to see what happens next!
