The Leftovers

[Slaky]

I'm still rooting for this show to be good even though I know it's not. Sometimes it has good parts, like the Nora episode. Sometimes it's a trainwreck like last night. It's the 2013 Chicago Bears of shows.

I gave it one ep. Meh. No one is talking about it. Don't see any reason to pick it back up.

At least the 2013 Bears were worthy of a season of Sundays.

I think the show is lackluster, but I'm going to spite-relish every episode now.

I like it. I will keep watching it.

I have this thing where I watch HBO on Sunday nights. Because they've given me The Wire, Deadwood, The Sopranos, GOT and True Detective, I'm willing to sit through the last couple seasons of Boardwalk Empire and whatever this Leftovers thing is. Like if the Roots make a so-so album, I'm still going to buy it and listen to it and talk about it with people. Because I don't want may favorite stuff to go away, I'm willing to do my part to keep it going.

So I'm going to keep watching The Leftovers and I'm going to say that I'm tired of the way they try to horrify me at the top of the episode with a stoning or a person trapped in a refrigerator. There's little payoff to either of those scenes story-wise. I still don't give a fuck about the GR's and the daughter's whole countenance and attitude is unchanged since the incident. So she bought her grandfather a magazine which he gave to her dad and he threw away. If there's any point to that sequence they're sure as shit not giving it away now. Why would they do that? I'm wondering if the story is actually being told from the GR's perspective. Like, there really is no point to this show. Points are stupid. TV is stupid. Why do you care? Why did you watch Lost, you dumb fat fuck? Here's a turd in a bag, we're putting on your porch every Sunday at 9 p.m. Do you like it? Liking or not liking it is stupid. Shut up.

I admit it.  I watched this show for about 15 minutes a month ago.  I regret it.  I will never get those 15 minutes back.

Picked up for season 2.

Suck it you shit heads.

Picked up for season 2.

Suck it you shit heads.

I'm watching and I'm in for the duration. I think it has oscillated between fascinating and irritating but there's enough of the former that I'll keep coming back.

Indeed

Great episode.

[R-V]

Great episode.

Yeah we're starting to get some payoff. I won't be in need of nightmare fuel for a while after watching a portly ginger recite Yeats and then open her gullet with a shard of glass.

"You haven't made flowers on me in over three weeks. It just makes me sad is all."

It's been quite a year for Ann Dowd on the Home Box Offices.

Fucking great ep. I love this damn show.

That was some television

That was some television

That reveal/scene at the dining table. Man. That was umpteen simultaneous flavors of disturbing and heart-wrenching. I don't think I've had as visceral a reaction to seeing something on TV in -- I don't even know -- maybe ever.

Yeah that was incredible.

What a great, great show. I'm wondering if the wish was for his family to be back together. The events of the fire certainly seemed to set that in motion. Now he's gonna get a chance to rebuild? Maybe the wife is done with the GR. Maybe the whole GR is done? Seemed like it was hinting to that, anyway. Also not sure that Nora ends up leaving. I'm REALLY glad she didn't end up killing herself. I would have been so fucking upset that this actress wouldn't get the chance to continue this role. She's been the highlight of the show.

[InternetApex]

Weirdest shit ever.

[Slaky]

No hyperbole, that was the best season of TV in a long, long time.
