The Leftovers

[The Shocker]

I quite enjoyed the first episode. Lost guys are involved, hope it doesn't go off the rails like it did.

[RAGER]

Just watched the first one. Now we're watching the second. We shall see.

[irratebass]

Last episode was all about 1 guy........still interested, not sure where they are going though

[Instant Dan]

Really stuck with this show and it is paying off. Like they said, you become more interested in the characters than the departure.

[sleestak]

I saw this show got renewed for season 2 pretty late in the first season.  I'm interested but hesitant to go all in for fear it will be one of those shows that ends with a "fuck you we never planned to explain anything" vibe that LOST ended with. 

[irratebass]

I don't care that they aren't explaining shit, it's just danmed entertaining

[MadJohnShaft]

Cancelled

[retardgroove]

Really? I watched that whole first season and was kinda like meh.

[sleestak]

Where'd you read it was cancelled your honor?

[MadJohnShaft]

The was on AV Club but elsewhere it says it was renewed for season 2.

[sleestak]

It built up to be a worthless shitpile anyway but I guess I'll watch season 2.

[The Shocker]

I got behind a couple of episodes on the DVR and decided fuck it. Erased.

[sleestak]

So is season 2 any good?

[irratebass]

So is season 2 any good?

Better than the 1st season imo....I like the direction they are taking it.

[irratebass]

  HOLY FUCK!!!!!! That ending!!!!! So many questions answered, and yet more questions popped up 

[MadJohnShaft]

I read the novel, didn't think much of the show - worth revisiting?

[irratebass]

This was a novel?  I thought it was an original screenplay....well I have no idea how the book is, but this past episode Kevin is trying to get rid of Patty, and drank the poison.....that's all I can say.

[sleestak]

I didn't read it but I read an article that indicated the first season was pretty much what was in the Novel.  The second season is new territory.

I'd like to know if they consulted with the author for the second season but also don't care because it's pretty good.

[khoomeizhi]

i heard a chunk of an interview - the author is still involved.

[irratebass]

Last night's episode had me on the edge of my seat.

Tom Perratta, the author of the novel, is the show creator along with Damon Lindelof.  That includes the second season.  So he's very involved.

Great season, not sure if the finale was up to the exceptionally high quality of the rest of the season but it's still my favorite show on tv right now.  Really gripping stuff, incredible acting, very uncompromising and totally unpredictable.

[socket]

Didn't like the dream ep all that much, was a little too focused. I wanted more of the other 'real life' character plot. 2nd to last was meh as well. Finale fixed everything, for me, at least.

[irratebass]

Fingers crossed for a 3rd season.

[sleestak]

Renewed for 3rd and final season.

Anyone still watching?
