They better not bring everyone back. I'd be pissed.

>>80501566
Go watch Game of Thrones pleb

Did anyone else find everything involving the cop in season 2 extremely funny? His family in Jarden is having a (relatively) normal life while he is just going insane, talking to things that may or may not be there, trying to kill himself while sleepwalking and actually dying (twice) leading to surreal supernatural adventures involving karaoke and international assassination. All while having this fixed look of panic and mild irritation on his face

>>80500284
Jesus why did Kevin's ex-wife age so much?

I hope to god the GR don't appear much, preferably not at all.

Is the end near?

>>80502256
Wait how can the main character die twice when Damon Lindelof told us it's not about the supernatural mysteries and just about people dealing with grief? The writer of Prometheus and Lost wouldn't lie to us would he?

I hope ABBA is the new theme song.

>>80502449

It's a symbolic resurrection. The details are unimportant, what matters is what it means to the character.

>>80502692
Oh ok. Because a literal resurrection would we inane supernatural bullshit and this show is clearly way above that hypocrisy.

Christ almighty this looks fucking good. I'm so excited. It definitely feels like this season is going to be batshit crazy in the best way possible. Although I feel like a lot of the information they give out in this trailer is intentionally misleading, knowing this show.

Am I alone in thinking that season 2 was perfect and can't be topped? If season 3 comes close, it will be good enough for me. If it matches, I'll be zozzled

>>80503843
Season 2 is the best season of TV in a long ass time. This trailer looks amazing, hopefully the season is just as good. I could see it being just as good if not better than 2.

This show is complete Kino. Any show that ends on season 3 is guaranteed to be good.

Whoa did you just call me a plebeian this must be the best show ever made

>>80506130
Glad you saw the light

This looks great

>>80500371
My first thought is it's a fake out and they're referring to Kevin's children, maybe he and Nora are married this season

>>80506172
All it took was a few buzzwords, a heavy handed soundtrack, and Damon Lindelof's patented no payoff pointless mysteries to convince me.

>>80506305
Its about characters and dealing with certain emotions not about revealing the mysteries.

>>80506433
People who complain about not revealing mystery shit are the biggest retards.

>>80506433
>>80506482
And yet the entire subject matter of the show is one mystery that never needs to be explained after another.

>>80506669
You do this in every single leftovers thread, give it a break man.

>>80500284
How many times is Kevin going to die this season?

>>80506721
Tell you what I'll stop when the shills stop.

>>80500284
i don't feel hyped at all desu

i feel like the show lost itself by trying to be bigger than it was and going over the top
i didnt need a black lodge, i didnt need characters coming back from the dead, i didnt need magical niggers, i didnt need the gang goes to texas and then the gang goes to australia

i just wanted one guy, his family and friends, trying to survive and make sense of something impossible happening
i feel like the show has lost itself a little

>>80506669

>>80506998
Truly enlightening, making me reevaluate this whole Leftovers is for spiritually bankrupt simpletons thing.

>>80506953
The Young Pope doesn't even have half of the acting quality of The Leftovers, there's also the captivating nature of every single episode that's impossible to match by any contemporary show.

A poor mans Rectify

Reminder that s1>s2

S2 pleb shit

>>80507166
Not even similar

>>80507132
Jude Law's performance alone collectively shits all over the entirety of the cast of The Leftovers. But you're right nothing screams captivating like "from the author of Prometheus".

>>80507166
Rectify's side characters fucked the show so bad, it never got popular.

Which is a shame because Daniel was the best example of a schizoid person ever. I didnt even watch the last 2 episodes.

>>80507132
spoken like a true pleb

have they even explained why the people disappeared or are they still baiting their audience with the premise to artificially create drama?

TYP is pseudo-intellectual drivel.

The Leftovers and The Young Pope are the 2 best shows of the decade and we should be happy that these kinds of spiritually driven stories are being told in a mature and artistic format rather than fighting over which is better.

>>80507254
Theroux's performance is better than Law's buddy.

>>80507348

Have you ever explained why you shitpost so much or are you still baiting us to artificially create drama?

How can they top season two's finale?

>>80507378
>>80507382
Which one was rejected en masse by our culturally bankrupt society for being too off putting and which was was gleefully lapped up like the ready made for blogging prestige television lunchable that it is?

>>80507424
The Knick was about horrible people yet it was glorious.

>>80507532
It was all a dream

>>80507593
I don't disagree with you, but how many great shows about horrible people are there? All too many. The change of pace is very refreshing and welcome.

>>80507593
The Young Pope, The Leftover and The Knick are the best shows of the decade.
>>80506953
It was great show but the main character was a bit inconsistent.

>>80507576
I don't know, I don't pay attention to critics, but I do know that's not an argument.

>>80507593
It also outclasses The Leftovers to a ridiculous degree in every category.

Fringe already did The Leftovers but better

>>80507726
It absolutely is. Genuinely challenging popular art is almost a fucking dodo bird at this point.

>>80507471
it's not a shitpost, I literally asked a question and you instantly got triggered

>>80507776
Soderbergh's set design alone.

The Young Pope's decedent Vatican aside.

lol soderbergh is a fucking hack

>>80507985
He did the damn thing with The Kick though.

>>80502662
that would be amazing. or they should bring back the one from the first season

>>80507985
Soderbergh directed, shot and edited The Knick all by himself

Never thought much of him but he's clearly a top notch director nowadays.

S3 requires a Jill POV episode where we learn that she had a threesome with her friend and Kevin. Otherwise the show will have been worthless garbage.

The real problem here is that they don't function well as a "channel" anymore and should shift more to a Netflix style release pattern or model.

The Leftovers and Girls were the only things still keeping me there. I also like Veep a lot and Silicon Valley is funny as well, but if you compare HBO to FX it's just pathetic now. What happened to them? There's nothing interesting in the pipeline. Meanwhile FX is bursting at the seams with great shows.

sad now, thank you

So, a co-worker told me about this show awhile ago to give it a shot. I was really loving S1, then I watched like 15 minutes of S2 and just stopped. I didn't care for the fact a bunch of new characters were being tossed at me.
Should I stick with it? Are the newer characters rather minor for the most part?

>>80511855
Stick with it, they're not minor exactly, but they're not on screen hugely often either, and they actually become quite interesting as the season progresses

I skipped the first episode of S2E1 because of them and the father ends up interesting as fuck.

>>80511855
definitely stick with it, episode 2 is garveys focused and you slowly get to see how fucked up the black family is

Leftovers is the best show HBO has had in years, and hell even big little liars only a few episodes in is more entertaining then last season of GoT.

The Leftovers is valid bullshit, but The Knick and The Young Pope are two of the most well crafted and artistically stimulating pieces of mass produced popular culture of this decade by a wide margin. If you take them away it's basically a second dark age, and if you are seriously discounting them then I'd be very curious to see what you think is better, or why you think shitting on them is a valid use of your time.

I just started my rewatch a few days ago. There is tons of little shit to pick up on, also the first season is much better than I remembered.

>>80513908
When shit like The Leftovers, Better Call Saul, and Fargo get universally fellated reviews have become meaningless except when something is too complex or superficially off putting to fit neatly into the hype machine that is continuing this massive downfall of quality entertainment.

>>80514137
Jesus shut the fuck up both of you. The knick was really good, the young pope I've only watched the first 2 episodes and is really good. The leftovers is really good. Enjoy these shows autists and stop arguing and go outside

Yes, keep telling yourself TYP is too complex for people.

>>80502365
Is the end near the leftovers?

>>80514304
It's not amazing but it's definitely better.

>>80514296
Literally 90% of the reviews called it a Vatican House of Cards and discounted it due to the Trump similarities, overt religious overtones, and the quasi-goofy melodramatic Italian style.

>>80514368
So what qualifies as amazing to you then? And maybe pick something not associated with Damon Lindelof.

>>80514449
I dunno, if we're talking TV shows The Dekalog is pretty good.

>>80507713
really like the young pope and the kick but this leftovers trailer doesn't interest me, perhaps because it is a season 3 trailer targeted toward invested fans. will check it out though because you guys are my buddies :^)

>>80514489

There hasn't been any amazing television from this decade, but the closest is Leftovers, Rectify was up there though.

It was the opposite, Nora and Kevin went to Jarden because Matt was already living there.

Why don't you? Your argument doesn't fit reality at all. Even the shitty "professional" reviewers that RT uses don't align with your imagination of 90% of reviews.

>>80514685
Oh ok I guess you needed a maudlin cover of Where Is My Mind and some boilerplate existentialism from the writer of Tomorrowland to get close to the Dekalog you sad stupid fuck.

I see you post this exact thing in every Leftovers thread, do you ever leave this board?

>>80515254
The Leftovers is a vapid exercise in exploring nihilism that claims to be a realistic character drama but features paper thin cardboard cutouts as subjects whose sole purpose is to be put through the ringer. The show substitutes sweeping orchestral scores and melodramatic outbursts of emotion (i.e. needing to get shot in the chest while wearing a bullet proof vest) for cultivating genuinely human moments. Its only hook is the meaningless supernatural mysteries coming from a writer who has repeatedly and conclusively demonstrated he cannot write a good supernatural mystery. Discuss.
