“ Victoria ” was an splendid episode of yttrium : The Last Man , packed with story , reveals , action , and real human emotion . For the most part , the debut season was very gain or escape in terms of great , must - see sequence , but this one certainly was . If we never see what hap next for Yorick and all the womanhood who think he ’s the key to the selection of the species , at least the show went out with a A-one self-coloured episode . With FX on Hulu not picking up wye : the Last Man there ’s no guarantee but the Maker and player are pushing to get picked up elsewhere . If that does n’t occur we also may never take more about the tragical revelations of how 355 lost her whole kinfolk or find out if Kimberly ( Amber Tamblyn ) finds Yorick , who she sees as the response to everything .
