For sure that I didn't laugh all the time with You, me and The Apocalypse, even though I was expecting that since it was described as humor on IMDb. But it didn't really matter to me because I was basically hooked on the show after the very first episode. After all who doesn't like an end-of-the-world scenario? You're immediately wondering how this will end and the only way to know is to watch it until the end. And that's what I did. I devoured the first season in a couple of days. I wonder if there will be a second season though. To me they could add one more season and I will gladly watch it. The different characters are a delight to watch. Almost every stereotype passes the revue. The story has enough good twists to keep you entertained all the time. Why people would hate this show is something I can't understand. I sometimes wonder what those people like themselves.

Starting out I'd like to say that I have never been more obsessed with a show than this. It is filled with great performances and a interesting storyline that never gets old. I've seen every episode at least twice. The show stars Mathew Baynton as the main character named Jamie and his twin brother Ariel who has been jealous of him his entire life because his mothers story of how he left him in a church parking lot because he was the son of God and deserved better. Ariel sets up a program called Doofus which transfers all of his crimes over to Jamie. He's also wants revenge on him because he stole his x-wife from him and he still loves her. Jamie finds this out on the day of the apocalypse that he is adopted has a twin and Layla his wife might be with his brother. He sets out to find her and along the way finds his mom his dad (Father Jude another character in the series) They soon end up together and Ariel tries to stop it and get her back before the world ends along with Jamie's daughter Frankie. Father Jude and sister team up to find false messiahs before the second coming of Chirst but fall in love along the way. There romance gets troubled though when Jude is given the option of choosing her or the priesthood. Before he could respond she joins the sisterhood again. Jude hands one of the sisters a note from him telling her that he left the preset hood but Sister Celine receive the note too late and Jude thinking that she Doesn't love him any more hangs himself and she finds him and breaks out in tears. At the end she finds out that she is pregnant with his baby and is going to see him soon in heaven. Another character on the show is Ronda McNeil who is accused of hacking into the governments website but really is covering for her son. She soon escapes with another in mate and soon gets to see Scooty again but nearly gets caught but cops are pulled away because Scotty her brother and the leader of the governments apocalypse section made a fake phone call. He is soon arrested and has to get out to attempt to save the world and is forced to give away the location of his sister. He later sobs with his husband another government worker because he gave up his sister because of a plan that never worked. At the very end everyone races to the bunker and and Jamie in an attempt to help a guy with his car he is knocked out by his brother and he steals his clothes. Jamie is left to die with Rhonda's dying husband who was giving up his life because he was sick and Ariel finished the car job to close the door with the car because the door was stuck. Jamie states that he is who his bother is pretending to be but Rhonda's husband Ranjeet says that its too late and Ariel gets his wife and the bunker despite his brother being the son of God. It was a rather disappointing end and even worse that there's not going to be a second season of show if because Jamie is the son of God than he might be able to survive. Any way it's a great show besides the twist at the end of the very last episode. I strongly recommend it still to anybody. This show proves that a show about the apocalypse Doesn't need zombies.

It's too good to stop and whoever wrote it is definitely smart enough to keep it going. Not many dramas can include so many genres done so well, make them interlink so well plus make each show an improvement on the preceding one. There's political, romantic, dramatic, humour, science fiction, religious, scenic, scientific, glamour, sociological and psychological and all done brilliantly. You just don't know what's coming next. Plus it's a tough call to pick who's the standout actor, most of the leads are equally brilliant. Just an excellent production. One last thing, as well as sophisticated and imaginative it's earthy, plus even incorrect, the racist, the soldier and the clergy are painted with sympathy. It's great.

I have been employing IMDb for several years now, conceivably in a similar fashion to other registered/unregistered users. To this date, I had never posted my own review albeit not for lack of opinion. About a month ago(early October-ish)while poking around the web, I stumbled upon this little 'gem'; You, Me and the Apocalypse. Simply put, this is an awesome show that was impeccably cast, written, directed and produced. Y,M and the A has a sublime blend of all that makes a program great. I am always pleasantly surprised to see what direction the show will take and I have to say, I found myself quite emotionally taken with the character development. My friends and family have dubbed me as over-critical when I comment on any particular show, series, movie etc. Thankfully there is still good new content being released and I enjoy productions such as Y,M and the A all the more because they stand out from re-hashed, vanilla and blasé mainstream media....;-)
