The solution is simple: some of the females just choose to become males.

Yup, they had that in episode three. Worked until the testosterone ran
out. Of course, they could not father any babies either way.

Scientists already got around any need for men in reproduction 20 years ago.

I'm pretty sure this was a (non-universe) DC comic a few years back.

I did see that mentioned on the tv series website I mentioned before I
got snipped.

There's a New Zealand-made (so that means hopelessly bad) "dark comedy"
along the same lines ...

The Y chromosome is only one of the ways that animals determine sex. Do they mention whether
there is any effect on birds? Turtles? Crocodilians?

Anything with a Y chromosome died. Including women with a Y chromosome,
yes it happens.

So, if someone was an XYY, did they die twice?

Since the method of death was to vomit all your blood out, I doubt it.

The sky opens up and the author climbs down to smack them around and
trash talk them before they die. Lets not even think about what happens
to the poor XYYY's, that can really turn your stomach.

I read the comic back when it was released and it was a bit silly but
with a fairly good story. I expect in today's climate all the silly bits
will be turned up to 11 and most of the reasonable bits in the story will
be removed.

So all mammals are wiped out except some species of rats and voles. Perhaps this is a prequel to the Michael Swanwick novel in which, millions of years on, Avians are the dominant clade.

Including women with a Y chromosome,

As Pohl told us in "Day Million", written in the mid 60s.

So the dinosaurs will be back. I see potential for a billion-year
rivalry between synapsids and sauropsids, with dominance switching
back and forth every fifty or a hundred million years or so. Let's
call it the Great Amniote Conflict.

Remember, _our clade_ already ruled during the Permian before the
Great Dying paved the way for the dinosaurs to take over.
