Given the wide array of different stories that “The Leftovers” presented to us over the course of two seasons, it was not entirely clear just where we were going to go for the finale Sunday night. This finale help nothing back, presented some answers, and of course raised many more questions. For one, did the […]
Following the best episode of “The Leftovers” ever, and maybe even the best episode of TV we have seen so far in 2015, it makes sense that there would be some sort of falling-off for the show. Just be happy it didn’t dive headfirst off of a cliff. The worst thing about Sunday night’s Meg-focused […]
leftovThere is no need to beat around the bush here, as evident in the title: Sunday night’s new episode of “The Leftovers,” entitled “International Assassin,” is the single best episode of any show in 2015 so far. We know that sometimes it can be hard to compare drama to comedy and that there is so much out […]
Is “The Leftovers” taking a page out of the “Walking Dead” playbook with Glenn, or are they looking to do something even deeper and more profound with their latest new episode from this past Sunday night? Both are fair questions, and in true show fashion, we cannot provide any answers for now. All we can […]
“The Leftovers” continued a trend on Sunday night of kicking butt and taking names, and doing so in probably the most heartbreaking fashion. If this installment does not get Carrie Coon and Regina King some consideration in awards shows, we don’t know what will. Heck, the same goes for Justin Theroux for his brief scene […]
“The Leftovers” season 2 has been nothing short of astounding so far. Each episode has attempted to say something profound about life in the face of the mystery of death, and every one of them has been in one way or another a home run. Still, “No Room at the Inn” Sunday night proved itself […]
We are now four episodes into season 2 of “The Leftovers,” and this is a show that is at the moment clearly providing just about everything you could hope to see and then some. Do you want a scene of Patti singing Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up” to Kevin? You’re going to get […]
For those of you who were expecting to see “The Leftovers” adopt more of a “lighter” tone in the second season as compared to the first one, that didn’t last going into Sunday’s episode. This episode was in many ways criminally depressing, from Laurie being told that her interpretation of the Guilty Remnant story was […]
Is it fair to say that this is “The Leftovers” that we were expecting back when we first heard this series announced on HBO? We’d say so. Being free from the original source material (but still tied to it thanks to Tom Perrotta’s involvement), Damon Lindelof has been given so much more freedom to explore […]
We have to be honest: We thought that season 1 of “The Leftovers” was somewhat of a disappointment. We had huge hopes going in as longtime fans of Damon Lindelof, but the show spent the majority of its time wallowing in misery. We never questioned the strength of the writing or the acting, but there […]
