Josh Futturman (Josh Hutcherson) is a lowly janitor at a biotech company run by Doctor Elias Kronish (Keith David). He lives at home with his parents (Ed Begley, Jr., Glenne Headly) and spends all his spare time playing a video game called Biotic Wars. When he finally defeats the game, he finds himself face to face with characters in the game, Tiger (Eliza Coupe) and Wolf (Derek Wilson). They tell him that the game is a simulation from a dystopian future world and that Kronish's work created the savage future. They expected Josh to have super human skills but is shocked to find a scrawny nerd.

Josh is a bit problematic as the lead at the beginning. I don't like him. He's too pathetic to live but he does improve over time. I grow to accept him after a few episodes. It's an insane show and it gets even more ridiculous in the second season. In a way, I like it. I like going down the rabbit hole of ridiculous stupidity. The third season does get too ridiculous even for me and that season has too many slow episodes. The big name behind the scenes are Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen. Seth comes in to act at the end of the second season. That turn may be one turn too many. All in all, this is a fun ridiculous ride and I'm glad that it ended after its three season run.
