Poster for The Leftovers
Wow. I finished that show much faster then I thought I would. The only thing dragging this show down from a 5 star is the consistency. This show will go from maybe one of the best episodes to one of the worst like it’s nothing. This is unacceptable for a 5 star show imo. This goes for seasons too. While I think seasons 2 and 3 are both near perfect, season 1 is mid. Season 1 is a really average season. Half the episodes are boring and stupid, that don’t push the bar and the other half are good or great. That’s not really good enough for a show that ends up hitting the heights it does. Kevin and Nora are both perfect protagonists. PERFECT. Another character I loved was Matt. Every Matt episode was fantastic and so engaging. It has some top 30 episodes. Top 10 characters. Solid cinematography all around. Another big fault I have is the Guilty Remnant. They worked in IA and the sequel to it because that was of the extra ordinary. To that point I just couldn’t take them serious in the real setting. Also Jill could’ve been used better and the son too who was basically in 3 episodes after S1. With all those flaws you’d think I’d hate the show and I should rate this lower. However it finds it’s way into my heart and I’m sure a lot of people too because it asks the big questions that keep most of us up at night. Thanks the Leftovers. You surprised me.
