CGiii Comment

There is such a good idea hiding behind the tripe that is presented on screen.

Why the supposed last man on earth decides to wander around a deserted city in a woman's slip is beyond explanation and/or reason.

The writing is pathetic, the acting is catastrophic...and, Murphy went to do a litany of unspectacular work.

The(ir) Blurb...

A man wakes up to find himself literally alone in the world, and goes about trying to find other survivors, as well as to find out what happened. He suspects that a government research project he was involved in had something to do with the disappearance of everyone. Eventually he finds several other people, and once they begin to trust each other they try to figure out why they were left on earth.
