Reviews

Madlovemovies I recently binge watched all of the seasons and it was like watching art, from the outstanding acting to the superb music by Max Richter it all comes together like a masterpiece of television. When a show's central conceit is the instantaneous disappearance of 140 million people, everything that follows forces us to adhere to its narrative flights of fancy, to raise our arms in surrender to the world-spanning potentialities of artistic ambition. And surrender we did.. From chainsmoking cults to lion worshipping sex cruise to the purgatorial karaoke and wu tang clan trampoline scene, The Leftovers is one of the most ambitious show of this decade
Kasper Pindsle Mild Spoilers aheadI'd heard nothing of the show until a friend casually recommended it to me and said something along the lines of "it's an interesting and realistic take on what people would do if 2% of the population disappeared." Well he got me to watch it with that pitch.Season 1 i felt was interesting, it posed some meaningful questions and had a decent lineup of interesting characters. I mean most of the characters gave a pretty bad first impression but they grew on me. Even though the writing wasn't the best it still had me intrigued. As an atheist i suspected this show might not be for me, i struggle to follow shows/films that blatantly states that "god is real" and everything unexplainable that happens can be explained by God or some divine power. To me it feels like a cheap cop out, where it's like "yeah that can happened because you know...god." and the writers doesn't really have to explain anything "because you know...god."The show felt pretty "realistic" in the first season with not very much "divine intervention" at all except the fact that 2% of the population went missing. But then season 2 and 3 happened, suddenly there were no rules. Anything could happen in this world, and finding any kind of explanation for the things that transpired proved difficult at best. Characters started doing ridiculous "out of character" things and it became hard to root for or like any of them. Season 3 literally felt like the show was getting cancelled and the creators had been promised one more season so they just rushed the story straight to the end without much thought.And by the way, in Season 1 90% of the scenes consists of Kevin Garvey exiting or entering a vehicle. It is beyond ridiculous, i'm serious! Look at any episode from season 1 and i promise you there is at least 5 scenes in each episode where Kevin Garvey is exiting or entering a vehicle, i mean how can you not think of a different scene transition than this? It's not that hard. And also the opening scene of season 2, going way back in time. What were you thinking? What did it provide the viewer? or the story for that sake? Made no sense to have it in the show, just made the show seem more random which it didn't need at all. A bit off topic there but yeah, i would probably rate the first season a strong 7 but Season 2&3(especially 3) would be around a 6-5. Season 3 i had to force myself to watch, i figured i had watched this far so i might as well watch the rest of it so i can justify my review of the show. And you know maybe i'd get some decent explanations for the unexplained things that happened trough the show? NOPE.There's a lot of good tv-shows these days, the Leftovers is not one of them(at least for me).
nedebeaulieu This show is so stupid. It reminds me of Twilight. It's emo, it's cliche, it's boring, it's lazily filmed, and most of all... NOTHING HAPPENS IN THE ENTIRE SHOW! The show is supposed to be story driven, but the plot barely goes anywhere! It's just a series of random people dealing with something that happened three years ago! Nothing happens at all! The show would've been way more interesting if there was an adventure in the alternate universe that the 2% went to... But no... We get this crap.
Mat DeLong SPOILERS AHEADThese are some of the questions raised through the show:1) What made the people vanish? 2) Where did the departed go? 3) How did Kevin Sr. know Jill was locked in the fridge? 4) Why are the Guilty Remnant really doing what they do? If it was just as simple as a cult for making people remember the departed, how were they so well organised across the country? 5) What did the cave cold opens mean? The caveman one, where the people in the cave died. Then one woman survived, only to be bit by a snake, and have her baby taken away. 6) What did the other cold open about the woman standing on the roof mean? 7) What's the deal with Dean and the dog stuff? If it was just him going crazy, why did Kevin go along with it? 8) How did Mary get healed? 9) What caused Kevin's sleepwalking/split-personalities? 10) What did the national geographic magazine mean? 11) What was up between Kevin and Aimee? 12) Did Kevin Sr. really stop hearing voices? If so, how? 13) How did Matt get healed the first time? 14) Was the earthquake that saved Kevin from drowning really just a coincidence? 15) Was Wayne's hugging power real? He seemed to be able to read minds as people were thinking about their wish or their pain. 16) What did Kevin wish for from Wayne as he died? 17) How did Matt win all the money at the Casino? That was too good to be luck.And obviously: 18) How did Kevin keep coming back to life? I doubt it has anything to do with a condition that would require a pacemaker. Maybe they subtly answered a couple of these... But this show, to me, is about a bunch of people messed up in the head who can't find happiness. And then some of them die. It is depressing, and suspenseful without any real payoff other than an answer to #2.
