I watched a little into the first season but I was too distracted by the premise (2% of the population fucking disappearing) to really care about the characters considering it takes place about two years after the disappearance. Considering AFAIK the disappearance is never explained I don't really see what the point of watching the show is.

DESU I would have found the show more interesting if they focused on the immediate aftermath of the disappearance.

The book only skipped 18 months, which was a reasonable amount of time.

The series skips 3 years in the first episode and by the third season seven goddamn years have passed and people still have their asses in the air over something that can't be marketed, explained, serves no narratives to keep the media pushing it.
>>

you're right, in the wake of a death, no one ever asks why and aren't satisfied with the real answer.

>>82918389
A lot of people will overrate this show and proclaim how good season 2 or 3 is, but it's honestly the same empty melodramatic crap over and over again strung together by equally awful writing and heavy-handed Biblical allusions.

The latest episodes of season 3 probably exemplify this best: perpetually-grieving characters reacting to the latest random, pointless or supernatural events in the most logically-bewildering way possible.

It can be intriguing and even "kino" at times, but that can only mask how bad the whole show is for a little bit. Unless you like getting baited by the bullshit of the week shit this show's writers (Lindelof, mainly) like to conjure up.
>>
>>82919230
It wasn't 1 person who disappeared. It was millions, and no one knows why or where they went. And they didn't just not come home one day, they literally vanished in front of people. If you think that the reaction wouldn't be similar in real life to what it is in the show, you're fucking retarded.

It was 2% from each country. The amount of people who vanished in one day is greater than the amount of people who have died in any war in the 20th century.

6.42m-ish people would have vanished from the United States alone. 1,076,245 died in World War 2. 2,852,901 have died in every single war from 1775 to now.

Stop posting, because you have no idea what the fuck you're talking about.
>>
>>82919405
>Shock eventually wears off and it's business as usual
No, that simply wouldn't be the case. It's unexplainable by science, and validates what certain religions have said, while at the same time not following along with what those religions say. Nobody would know what to believe, why it happened, or what to expect next. Just like in the show. And you keep bringing up the millions dying nonsense as though it has some sort of relevance. It's not just the scale that matters, it's the fact that the event is literally unexplainable by science or anything else.
>>
>>82919422

These are correct. This fucking idiot can't comprehend how people would still care about 140 million people randomly vanishing off the face of the planet after 3 years, meanwhile people still care about 9/11 16 years after the fact. They still worship Christ/Mohammed/whoever else hundreds/thousands of years after they supposedly walked earth, and they couldn't even see them with their own eyes. You have to be legit retarded to think that people would just stop caring about people literally disappearing in front of them after only 3 years.

>>82919555
>According to Matthew White’s estimate on the page Worldwide Statistics of Casualties, Massacres, Disasters and Atrocities., a total of about 123 million people died in all wars of the 20th Century, thereof 37 million military deaths, 27 million collateral civilian deaths, 41 million victims of "democide" (genocide and other mass murder) and 18 million victims of non-democidal famine.

Note that I was speaking specifically about the US in my example, but there you go.

>>82919581
That's exactly what I'm comparing it to. That's almost six and a half million people gone in one day from just one country. Vanished into thin air. The people that are trying to downplay what that would do to the world are very, very stupid. Even if it were just isolated to one country's population, it wouldn't be something to hem and haw over.

I sarcastically compared it to how people should have just gotten over 9/11, an event where only 3,000 people died in a way that was far easier to explain. An event which still, to this day, has serious repercussions on how America operates.

>poster count doesn't go up

... so we we can actually compare real, explainable, and/or religious events to 140 million people vanishing for no reason? Why'd you flip on this? Is it because you don't understand people had very specific motivations for continuing to push narratives surrounding said historical events? And the only narratives that could be pushed surrounding the event of the leftovers would be from charlatans?

That's really swell.

>>82919806
I never said the vanishings from whatever country wouldn't matter based on a majority. I showed a comparison of the amount of people that vanished in ONE country (the United States) versus every war in the 20th century. All of those people vanished in one day. If you're implying that's insignificant just because a lot more brown people vanished, you're just being retarded for sport.

I also think a lot of people would care if 2% of India, China, or Africa's populations vanished, yes. Because there's no discrimination on who vanished. It could have been politicians, it could have been farmers Making this a weird racial issue is just making you sound like a dipshit.

There's some genuine morons posting here these days. 9/11 was a fucking fraction and you never hear the end of it. The holocaust was only 6 million jews, yet they never shut the fuck up about it.

140 million would be widespread news for the next century at least.

>>82919941
>glorified footnote in history

Do you not think world wars had a significant effect on history and society? You're literally oblivious of you think that's true.
>>
>>82920034
The entire point of the show goes over your head, then. It's not about the people who try to capitalize on it. There are cults, there are different schemes to try and capitalize on it, but that's not what really drives the show. What drives it is the conflict of trying to normalize such an insane event and return to some semblance of life. Kevin is trying to normalize constantly, but he can't. Same with Nora, same with Laurie after she gets out of the cult. Even Matt tries to normalize it with traditional religion.

Even the cults themselves are revealed to be attempts at some kind of normalization, or at least catharsis.

Honestly, I think you might just be completely retarded. I don't even think this is bait. I think you might actually just have a useless brain.
>>
>>82919982
Put it this way negro, around 15% of the earth's population died in or as a result of world war I. But it was mostly due to plague and famine caused by the collapse of infrastructure.

Only 3% of the earth's population died in or as a result of world war 2, but, these were direct acts of men.

Which one was relevant longer?

Now, 2% vanish for no rhyme or reason. How long does that stay relevant?
>>
>>82920165
you can't say what would be relevant or not until it's actually happened. There's nothing you can base your predictions off of on how people would react to something like the departure since there are no precedents for it, therefore it's fine what the show tries to do.

the difference between events like world war 1 is that people had targets and scapegoats they could use for their suffering, whereas the departure there was nothing. Many people may have moved on after the departure, but the show doesn't focus on those people, because it would be boring as fuck watching normal people live out their lives
>>
>>82920165
World War 1 lasted for about 1,564 days, rough estimate. World War 2 lasted for 2191 days, give or take.

The Departure happened in one day.

How long does that stay relevant? Well, at the very least, a couple centuries. How about that?
>>
>>82920156
Valiant attempt at a grasp, but the point I'm making has soared over your head again.

The main point being is 2% of people vanish, for no reason one day. But society is still there. Bills still need to be paid, jobs worked, etc. So 90% of the normalcy is right there, waiting for people. And since no one is going to start trying to declare war over 2% of humanity vanishing for no reason and there will never be more information about it, the media can't really keep a hold of it. So without the media pushing it or a collapse of society, how could the event be anything but ephemeral to the vast majority of people? Most of which won't even be affected directly. Four people dropped out of some girl's 200 facebook friends. Dunbar's number is around 150, meaning most people will only know 3 people who drop. What are the odds of those 3 people even being relevant to that person's life?
>>

Both events happened over the course of several years. 9/11 happened one day, had far less casualties than either war, but it's still relevant 16 years later and likely will be for the rest of the century.

The show is character-driven, retard. No matter how much you try to argue otherwise that won't change that fact.

Dude, again, people benefited greatly from keeping 9/11 in the news every day for 16 years. A face was put on the event and justifications were generated for punching that face.

You can't put a face on 140 million people vanishing for no reason. No one can benefit on a large scale from such an event. How the fuck is the media supposed to keep beating that drum?

that's criminally underrating a masterpiece you pleb

>matt's aids

oh fuck

they originally called AIDS a type of lymphoma.

That would actually be some decent writing were it intentional.

>>82912119
It's turned into a steaming pile of excrement. The writer introduces any old idea and the opening songs are the most embarrassing choices I've ever heard.
>>
>>82920888
uh, dog, those episodes were rapid fire event and reaction chains. Just because they were focused on one character doesn't mean they were character driven.
>>
>>82920821
All of those things take a backseat within the show, and the characters actions within those circumstances are at the forefront. It's character driven.
>>

>THE MEANS OF FORCING CHARACTERS INTO DRAMATIC SITUATIONS TAKES A BACK SEAT TO DRAMATIC SITUATIONS

you are literally retarded
>>
>>82920939
So, you have no arguments. Cool.
>>
>>82920969
You're trying to say plotted events that are the source of all the character's reactions/development can somehow take a backseat to reactionary character development.

You're retarded.
>>
>>82921009
They do take a backseat. The show doesn't focus on those aspects as much as they do the character's reactions and decisions. Thus, it's character driven. It's not my fault that you don't understand the show. I'm done arguing this.
>>
>>82921036
No, dude, they can't. You can't have drama convent plotting be the central driving force of a work and then claim its actually about the characters.

And hell, you're admitting these plot devices exist to force characters into reactionary development. Does the word "force" appear anywhere in the definition of "character driven?" This will be on the test.

Sorrentino be praised. I feel like The Young Pope wasn't as big of a hit in North America as it was here in Europe, is that true?
>>
>>82921087
it probably lost western audiences once lenny wasn't a centrist with plans to reform the church to be more in line with modern sensibilities.

Even though the show establishes perfectly why that would never happen.
>>
>>82921087
For whatever reason they dumped the series over the course of a week like a miniseries instead of weekly. It didn't have the chance to build up steam the way HBO's hits usually do, but most folks that watched it praised it.

The first season was art, but it seems like Sorrentino wants to go full anthology with "The New Pope" coming up next. That, my love, is love lost.
>>
>>82921194
Fuck me, I'm going to miss Jude Law if that title's anything to go off of
>>
>>82921194
He probably chose that direction because lenny can't really go any further than he already has.

All that can happen is he'll get older and less extreme. Which is just about half the show anyway. He vibrated the church for a little while and eventually fell into line.

There's still a couple rungs left on that career ladder.

Tell me you weren't looking forwards to Lenny going full Deus Vult territory by S3
>>
>>82921294
what, getting crucified?

Lenny is already older than jesus when hes elected pope.
>>
>>82921311
I'm not sure how you could think that would happen. As every episode hes less extreme, more accepting, more compromising. He starts as an arrogant shit and the job actually humbles him as he does it.

The idea being the system is self-sustaining.
>>
>>82921311
I could have done with some burnings at the stake. Maybe some repartee with a caged Tonnino. A scandal over the thumb drive. More miracles, maybe a public one.
The story still had legs.

it's fine if you just don't enjoy the show but if you can't appreciate kinos like Les Leftovers or Les L O S T, you're better off watching reruns of CSI: Miami and NCIS

I've had the last 12 minutes of Sunday's episode on infinite loop for the last 76 hours. It's going pretty good.
>>
I like how in most Matt episodes he gets the shit beaten out of him, it always happens. Hell in season one he got his shit knocked in like 5 times by different people
>>
So is this set out like LOST?

It's set out like your mom's twat. Go be a liberal somewhere else.

It's a tragedy that Justin isn't getting more attention for his performances in this show.
>>
>>82922774
probably has to do with how he just holds the same expression in every scene and the musical score is all that indicates what that expression means at any given moment.
>>
>>82919283
It got to the point where I just rolled my eyes every time the schmaltzy violin music plays as the characters scream and cry again. Christlike figures are so fucking overdone and Kevin and friends are too boring to care about.

I know Lindelof has said they will never reveal what happened, and I understand that, but it makes the show predictable.
>>
>>82922847
But how am I supposed to know when to feel sad if there's no music playing?
>>
Kevin better not die for good this season.

leftovers fans get so defensive over this.
>you plebs need everything spoonfed to you!
no, I just dont enjoy various supernatural just happening with no explanation and then have the writer try and act like he's above it all for not even attempting an explanation.

the sopranos was a show that among other things, flirted perfectly with the idea of the supernatural and didnt spoonfeed you. also, why the fuck is that hot black chick in a relationship with kevins crazy dad?
>>
Gonna start watching this show. What to expect?
