"You're here." "I'm here." The Leftovers is in my top four favorite shows, and Season 3 is one of the best single seasons of television ever. Everyone is at the top of their game. This series has some of the best acting I've ever seen, there are so many amazing scenes that I could use as examples, and there's no way I could pick just one. The outdoors cinematography is also goregous and looks so cinematic at times; the score by Max Richter is one of the best ever composed... The fact that this show had basically no Emmy attention is an utter crime. I really don't think I've seen a show better capture depression and grief in such a unique, but extremely raw and real way. This is a show that wants you to feel before you think, there's a reason one of the theme songs says 'let the mystery be', it's all about the journey we go on with these characters, and how they each handle the event of the departure in their own ways. It mirrors a lot of the confusion I feel the world felt during the beginning and peak of COVID. When a tragedy happens in real life we want to know why, and gain some kind of finality to it all, but in reality there is almost never answers, you have to find your own meaning. Depression is messy; it can cause us to make decisions that are destructive and make no sense, but we don't have to suffer through it alone, we can find our own ways to heal and live through each other. After everything that's happened in the world over the last year - we're still here. Being here and being alive, that's what matters, and if anyone reading this is going through a hard time emotionally, I want you to know that you're loved, and that I'm proud of you.
