July 5, 20215 yr comment_858998 The Leftovers I'm so glad I gave this show a second chance. It is magnificent. The first four to five episodes are a slog. Don't be discouraged. It takes the show a while to find its footing. The premise is weird and the characters start out unlikable. Stick with it though! Two things I think are done exceptionally well here are showing you plot events that won't be explained until many episodes down the line and the use of music to really drive the big emotional moments. The show is by no means unique in doing these things, I just think they do them fantastically well. The show also doesn't overstay its welcome. Ending it after the third season was perfect. Report
July 5, 20215 yr comment_859012 Yeah, I dropped Lost almost immediately, but Leftovers and Watchmen will have me following Lindelof for awhile. Report
July 10, 20215 yr comment_859298 I've read and heard these words till they've become stale. But this performance moved me as if I've never heard it before and gave it meaning. Art at it's finest. I struggle to think of anything better acted. Edited July 10, 20215 yr by robm321 Report

July 10, 20215 yr comment_859319 Just wrapped up season 1 of the Leftovers. TMoney called it well...a bit tough to get through the front end...definitely not a linear story line. A few characters beg for a good smack into reality, but overall engaging. We'll see how the next season goes...I'm in it now. HS Report
