The Leftovers on HBO

[Go]

Just watched the Pilot.

Its quite a subversive show, which I'm actually digging. Not sure it was good timing on HBO's part to release this in the dead of summer given the dark material, but I'm intrigued enough to keep watching.

Set up some interesting stuff. And who cares if we don't know what happened? We don't know what caused the zombie virus in Walking Dead and we all beat off to that show.

I liked the 2nd episode more than the 1st. I will certainly continue watching.

From what I've read, each ep gets better. Makes sense.

I also like how they've set it up sorta like LOST where everyone has their backstory and "where were you?" story.

Police Chief seemed to be banging out the wife, etc.

I guess Hillary hasn't disappeared, shame.

Saw first ep. Lots of sad people. Even the teens who are carpe diem humping are crying while they do it. No thx.

Seems like the 2-teens to me (2010s)

Love the casting of the dad.

I'm all in on this stuff.

I'll give it another episode or two, but am not real impressed.

I'm told the third episode is the game changer. I like the main guy, the police chief and his family is also good. Some of the other characters are meh and obviously I'm waiting for Buddy Garrity to come back.

The dude handing out flyers is too famous for his role this far, he has to step up soon.

As previews showed, the entire next episode is about him.

I'm still not sold on this show yet. To me this is John from Cincinnati all over again but weirder. I was disappointed when that got cancelled and will at least watch the first season of this to see where it goes, but don't have high hopes at this point.

I liked the bagel scene at the very end.

Ah, makes sense, my DVR cut that off.

 

[isledeac]

I absolutely cannot stay awake through this show.

I think it's great, but I can't tell if that's only because I'm so confused as to what is real.

He reminds me of the Priest in Deadwood.

Not gonna lie, the two teenaged girls are nice to look at...

If they're using LOST rules, pretty much everything is real except for the obvious dream-states.

 

[Say Hey Deac]

To me this is John from Cincinnati all over again but weirder.

I understand the comparison, although I think John from Cincinnati was way weirder than this show has been so far.

 

[yodeacsgo]

Fuck John from Cincinnati. Dickwad Deadwood killer.

This thing is going to have to pick up fast. Hopefully the 3rd episode does it.
