The Leftovers is the best thing on T.V. right now.
Now have The Leftovers and High Castle to watch... What should I tackle first?
Caught a sneak preview of the first PKD adaptation episode looks great. Lol'd at the chick's lack of emotional response to his sister being shot dead but I guess living under Nazi/Japanese rule is liable to harden you up. Show looks good though...
I do like the Man in the High Castle, but the Leftovers is easily better and just on another level altogether. Love it. But if you're anything like me, you'll feel yourself getting dragged down a bit emotionally at the sheer bleakness of the show. It is quite worth it, however.

Watched the first episode of The Leftovers last night. Enjoyed it, shows much promise.
More importantly, Keri liked it so we'll proceed with the rest of the show.
Just finished Master of None this past thanksgiving weekend. Gotta say, I actually found myself audibly laughing by myself, something that rarely happens when watching tv/movies alone.
30 mins for a 10 episode netflix run is mildly disappointing though. Unless this show is released every 3-4 months with 10 new episodes, it's going to be hard for me to follow/remember to follow with all the other content out there.
I give it a solid B+
Looking forward to your thoughts as it moves forward. Hope your wife continues to enjoy it so you can, too
She didn't enjoy the demise of the GR member who got taped to the tree very much!
Seems like a solid show but the mystique surrounding the GR is beginning to annoy us both. Strikes me as incongruous that a 'cult' can establish itself and recruit so well over the course of three years, yet no-one seems to know what they're about. Hopefully as the narrative unfolds all will become clearer...
I hope that blowing whistles in preachers' faces catches on
The new Homeland and Leftovers were nearly perfect this week with the Leftovers getting the slight edge due to: (1) Liv Tyler's excellent performance; and (2) the soundtrack, which featured Melle Mel, Olivia Newton-John and Sturgill Simpson all in the same episode. It was magnificent.
Homeland is setting itself up for a huge finale, I think. We still have 3 episodes, so I don't want to get too far ahead of myself, but I feel like they're trying to distract us with the big reveals of the past couple weeks so they can really smack us over the head with something even broader by the end.
Of course, there's no doubting that the finale of the Leftovers will be insane after the reveal of the contents of that trailer in the last minutes of Sunday's episode. Yoinks. I have some ideas, but I'll be really interested to see how Liv Tyler pulled that off.
LOL I had completely forgotten about the whistle in the preacher's face. That was excellent. Unfortunately, the trend has not continued worldwide.
Also, I hate to say anything negative, but I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed if you're looking for explicit answers in the show. It really doesn't tie up loose ends in a linear fashion. That really, really killed me about Lost back when it was on, but for some reason I'm okay with it here.

I only had a chance to watch Homeland last night. I agree. Damn near perfect. Saying the end of the episode was spectacular would be insulting the other 55 minutes. Great episode all around.

S5 is the best season since S1 and S2 imo. Homeland's mo has been to really slow down in the middle (which didn't bother me much because I've enjoyed the story). Not this season.

I thought the latest Homeland episode might have been the best ever imo, if not ,certainly among them...
Leftovers' was also phenomenal... It keeps getting weirder and weirder, and I love it! (and Sturgill Simpson = the nuts)

I quit watching Lost 3 episodes in because of the same reason you just stated. Yet, its not bothering me with The Leftovers. The acting, story telling, side story's, ect...are all better. Being a cable show vs a network show is huge.

I didn't really get started with Lost for that reason but I much prefer The Leftovers. We'll be sticking with it unless it gets too dark for Keri!
Liv Tyler pulled that off
Finally had a chance this morning to finish the recent episode of The Leftovers. I thought it was excellent. Again, the ending perplexes me. Curious what the end game is for this specific situation. I can't stress how much I'm enjoying this weird and fucked up show.
same here. If they bother explaining it, lol.
I want to preface this with its really stupid. Now saying that. The wifey and I fricken love "The Grinder" with Rob Lowe and Fred Savage.
Watched the first two episodes of Into The Badlands on AMC, the fight scenes were fn good! Show is not too bad, either! Will be watching the rest of this one.
Well, Keri did not much enjoy the Leftovers season two opener.
If anyone knows I'm watching a show with some disturbing motherhood content, you have my blessing to bombard me with the spoilers!!

It was awesome!!!
This is one I've been meaning to start because of you guys. Know offhand if S1 and S2 are available between Netflix, AP and/or HBOGO?@jbutler Just read that The Leftovers will only have one more season.

Good deal, thanks. Figured S2 would be on there but wasn't sure if the first one would still be available.Yeah it's on HBOGO. That's how I watch most often. Great app. Much better than the xfinity on demand app or even Netflix imo.
