Leftovers

there's only one or two people praising it, everyone else is laughing at it.

>>83560268

Well with the series finale tonight we'll find out if Lindelof can stick the landing.

>>83560268
What is this show about ?

Best show of the decade. Hopefully Lindelof is able to provide a somewhat satisfying ending (fingers crossed).

>>83560298
Counting off: ONE

It's shit.

autists and pretentious losers hate it

people who are capable of thought and emotions at the same time like it

int 8.1 on imdb

when even those normie pleb don't like the show then u know its shit

It's like a do-over of Lost. Lindelof took everything he learned from Lost and applied to this show. It's really fucking good.

>>83560405
>>83560298
I'm the other guy.

>>83560576
This is actually accurate as fuck.

It's the greatest show on TV right now.

Too much race mixing for me

most /pol/ types will probably hate it

>>83561659

best since Mad Men

Could say it's the bets of the "golden age of tv"

It seems like most people who dislike it just hate the premise and the fact that things wont be explained. I have no problem with that, I just find the characters boring and not particularly well written. I've read the book and I think it executes the core concepts much better.

Garvey is literally reading absurdist philosophy (Camus) in the first episode. What do they expect?

It's KINO and you should watch it. Season one is good, but it really picks up in Season two and three is a mastapeece.

>>83560268

The philosophy in LOST is false. The philosophy in this is real.

Believe. Broaden your mind.

>>83560576
wasn't expecting an accurate post ITT but this is as accurate is it gets.

>>83563579
And what is this philosophy exactly?

>>83563656

The philosophy of the mindgarden. Prune yours.

Okay, so pretty much a few years back this event, called The Sudden Departure happened. Basically, 2% of the world's population disappeared into thin air. The Leftovers is about the ramifications of that event (cults forming, government organizations made to solve what happened that day) on the people in a small upstate New York town. With an amazing kino piano score and god-tier performances all around, The Leftovers is a must watch.

>>83560268
"leftovers" is an anagram of "LOST Fever."
You've been had.

>>83563787

You are a genius. You could be the next Jesus if you unsuccessfully an hero.

>>83560268
Nothing like lost, second season is weak, third season is best -- I enjoy the show because it constantly challenges your perspective and fucks with your head.

its gonna be shit with no resolution

>>83563936

Everyone who is alive now are doing the same.

>>83561739

>>83561739

is it better than the knick?

>yfw it opens with the original title credits

It's decent, no where near other HBO classics like The Sopranos and The Wire though.

>>83564050

I now feel bad that you gave an honest and relatable answer.

let me put it this this way
the worst kate episode is ten times better than the best leftovers episode

>>83564216

Yes

>>83560268
Take LOST and remove the great characters and mystery. You're left with a boring mess that doesn't amount to anything, and that's what the Leftovers is like.

Wait, so has this series unveiled any explanation for the event that happened?

I don't follow it or anything, but from lurking the threads I get the sense that the final episode airs tonight and everyone's still in the dark regarding how people started disappearing.

Is that correct?

And it had better not.

Lindelof'd once shame on you, Lindelof'd twice...

>>83566609
It was explicitly stated that we'd never find out why the departure happened. That is exactly the opposite of the point of the series.

Ya'll gonna get lindelof'd

>>83564608
we already got the original sountrack over the new opening last week
I don't think thats gonna happen

>LOSTfags started out shitting on Lindelof and LOST in Leftovers threads
>now they just claim L O S T is better than Leftovers

I don't understand you people. Hell, I love both shows equally at the moment, only thing I don't like about LOST is how the last season felt, and I get that same feeling sometimes watching the episodes of this last season of Leftovers, but I think it's just that I don't want this show to end like LOST did and I feel like it's going to.

>>83566609
the show is basically a bunch of random mysteries happening and none of it will be explained. they've already said the departure isn't going to be explained, that's fine, but then they just stack more mysteries on top of the departure, and those will also never be explained.

i think it's fucking stupid but there's a whole bunch of people that don't seem to care about things like this and just want 'kino' moments with violin music.

>>83566609
>Wait, so has this series unveiled any explanation for the event that happened?

We aren't going to get a solution and that's the point, it has never been indicated that it would ever be explained so if people get disappointed about this not being answered they missed the point hard.

>>83564689
Weren't you literally just saying in the other thread the show was shit?

Can you hear me SOS?

Jump inside the fruit of my loins.

Do we agree that regarding seasons: 3 > 1 > 2 ?

>>83560268
Season 3 has been pretty shit desu. The first two were pure kino. You could actually just watch the first 2 and forget S3 exists because it wraps up fairly tidy in the S2 finale.

>>83560576
the correct opinion

>>83569310
How can you say that season 3 is shitty when episodes 3,4,5 and 7 are between the best?

>S03E05 was anything but pure shit

>>83567956
Just like with Lost there are parts in the Leftovers that don't have to be explained because they are left ambiguous enough to be interpreted by the fans. You could say this is a cheap way for the writers to write themselves out of a corner in order not to alienate or offend fans of theirs that wouldn't like an explanation to a mystery, but really it's just probably so they can put all their effort into the characters. This is essentially what Lost was all about, and if you don't understand that sometimes you just have to let the mystery be, then this show just isn't for your undeveloped mind and you should just fuck right off back to your Game of Thrones general or whatever fucking hole you crawled out of, mysteryposter.

There isn't anything in Leftovers so far that can't be explained besides the departed and Kevin's hotel, which is open to interpretation from the viewer.

Where can I watch all the episodes?

protip: there isnt

>>83570346
I'm having a hard time thinking of a more kino moment in any show

>>83569913
if lost was only about the characters then it wouldn't need all the mystery nonsense of the island in the first place. you can't just ignore that shit and say it was all about the characters, because it fucking wasn't.

the same kind of crap is going on in this show, at least this time around lindelof covered his ass and straight up told everyone he isn't going to explain anything

>>83570346

maybe he should write something that isn't lost version 2.0 then

>>83569948
thewatchseries dot us

One of my favorite moments this season is Kevin telling Nora that he loves the book Matt wrote during their fight.

"I don't like it, I fucking love it, it's riveting!"

I death marched past all of the eps in the last couple of weeks. So I'm down to the last 3 if you count the final on the way.

It's pretty damn good.. You have to like watching a drama of course but other than that I see why people really like it. Plus it's a tight story being jt's only 28 eps over 3 season and you're out.

So no random side tracking stories as they try to filler 22+ every season.

>>83570917
I started watching it 2 days ago and coincidentally just finished the latest episode about 10 minutes ago to find out the finale is in like 2 hours

>>83560298
It's the best show in a while.

>enjoyed season 1

God damn you fucking monkey don't you understand, the island is a fucking device to explore and expand the characters. Like Jack's and Locke's internal struggles about the islands mysteries and what they mean.
>you can't just ignore that shit and say it was all about the characters
But you can, and they didn't. Pretty much everything was explained by the final episode, if there's something you still don't understand then I'm sorry and I'll do my best to try and explain it.
>covered his ass and straight up told everyone he isn't going to explain anything
I think the description of the final episode says it best. "Nothing is answered. Everything is answered. And then it ends".

You make whatever the fuck you want out of the show, and it's clear it probably isn't for you, so fuck off already and stop wasting your time and the time of others in Leftovers threads trying to make sense of something that will never make sense to you.

So, is there going to be a stream?

how long til new episode?

Is this still the same kind of cocktease LOST was? I stopped watching after season 2 because it's just constantly dragging in new mysteries without actually resolving anything, just like LOST did. I just wanted to check in and see if anything has been wrapped up since it started.

Finale prediction: Kevin goes to find Nora but she goes through the machine and leaves behind the note she initially wrote for him back at the end of season one, having held onto it this whole time in case she ever had to leave him.

Screencap this.

>>83571046
i thought this way too because they focused the attention on the nigs, it gets so much better later on in that season

>>83571153
1h10m from now (9pm eastern)

>>83571219
that would be dope desu

Stolen from the last thread, but curious to hear more opinions:

In honor of the finale, what is the best scene of each season?

Season 1
Either
>Nora visits Holy Wayne
or
>Patti recites the poem in the cabin

Season 2
>Kevin at the well

Season 3
>"Then you should go be with them."

>>83571088
You're a fucking pleb, lmao. The point of the mysteries was to keep people watching. That's why every episode ends on a fucking island mystery-based cliffhanger.

>>83571219

But we know Nora survives. The machine would kill her

>>83571382
Unless the flashforward is her personal "hotel," or the place where the departed went (i.e. the machine actually works).

>>83560849
>>83568481
>>83568522
ONE here, I'll miss you guys. It's been a great ride.

>>83571088
>But you can, and they didn't. Pretty much everything was explained by the final episode, if there's something you still don't understand then I'm sorry and I'll do my best to try and explain it.

every single explanation they did give were extremely lame and were only in there because the network had to force lindehack to answer them. if he had his way he would have just LET DA MYZTRY B (which is exactly what he will do in the finale tonight) because he's a fucking joke who uses con job writing tactics to get people to keep watching his garbage

It's nothing like Lost. Lost's downfall was that it spent 6 seasons framing itself as a giant mystery, and then ended up answering almost nothing about what made it so...mysterious, and Lindelof ended up having to give a bunch of half assed excuses why.

This, he said from the beginning DON'T EXPECT ANYTHING. This gives him the freedom to do whatever the fuck he wants, and it turns out when he's given free reign to do that he comes up with some really weird, really interesting shit. I love it.

>>83571722
>really weird, really interesting shit

>>83571786

No it's total shit.

>>83571860
>protagonist questions the sanity of another character
>his projections turn into introspection and self-reflection
>as a result, he questions his own sanity
>audience begins to question protagonist's sanity and supporting character's existence at all
>hooks audience in and delivers emotional payoffs repeatedly

At what point does this seem like bad writing to you?

>>83571860
Do you really not understand the dogs thing? Their literal explanation was that they went crazy when their owners vanished, and their thematic reason for being included was to draw a parallel between them and the GR.

>>83572073
the point that involves who is or isn't a contrarian

>>83572109
>Their literal explanation was that they went crazy when their owners vanished

uh, no, that's just some theory you are mistaking for a fact. sure, makes some sense, but that is not in the show at all.

>>83571607

Because like I said, the island wasn't the main purpose of the show. Did we watch the same fucking show?

I bet the whole concept of the island afterlife went over your head in season 6, didn't it? Fucking plebs. Stick to your easy to follow tv shows like TWD and GoT, not that I have anything against the shows since I watch them too, but they seem like shows you wouldn't have as much difficulty following, unlike Lost and Leftovers.

>>83573491
Hi lindelof.

>>83573491
damon, if you spent as much time trying to convince me lost was a good show as you do writing you could write a good show

STREAM WHERE?

but this is his style. Drop intrigue that he can't develop/resolve and walk off.
