TMoney Posted July 5, 2021 Report Share Posted July 5, 2021 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. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blessingx Posted July 5, 2021 Report Share Posted July 5, 2021 Yeah, I dropped Lost almost immediately, but Leftovers and Watchmen will have me following Lindelof for awhile. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robm321 Posted July 10, 2021 Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 (edited) 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.

HemiSam Posted July 10, 2021 Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torpedo Posted July 12, 2021 Report Share Posted July 12, 2021 Just finished American Utopia, the concert/documentary by David Byrne directed by Spike Lee. I needed this to remind me why Talking Heads was one of my favourite bands. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMoney Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 I follow a few game designers on twitter who were talking about the new Netflix show, "Squid Game." I started in on it last night. It is surprisingly compelling! I am impressed so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
