Perhaps you've heard of it; tis Lorna Doone?Alexander PhiAlipson wrote:Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.
Seriously silly, kinda cute, mostly fun--if I smoked weed, I'd probably light up for this show, maybe enjoy some hot decaf tea and a few Lorna Doones. It's worth a try.
Capps are you leading me down the garden path with the Leftovers? They still have not explained what the fuck is going on at all between the cult and dog killings. These people are a bunch of fucking weirdos.StCapps wrote:Tip of the iceberg on the weird tip. The weirder it gets, the better it gets. Eventually you'll learn to stop worrying and love the weird, that feeling will likely become cemented sometime around International Assassin, but it started to dawn on me a bit earlier in the second season, but it became glaringly obvious after that episode that I should actually be cheering for the show to get weirder and weirder, because it works out so damn well every time that it does.

About to finish the first season of The Deuce, I'm throwing the episode on right now.
How dare you criticize such an amazing artistic endeavor. Leftovers breaks new ground in cinematic achievement, simply by existing. Or so I’m told.heydaralon wrote:Capps are you leading me down the garden path with the Leftovers? They still have not explained what the fuck is going on at all between the cult and dog killings.

Embrace the weird, you'll see, gets better and better as it goes. Best show on television this year, that third season, I'm telling you, that's straight dope right there. During the second season it was one of the best shows on TV as well.heydaralon wrote:Capps are you leading me down the garden path with the Leftovers?

The show answers some questions, while leaving a lot of shit unanswered. You find out a lot more about key players in Guilty Remnant later in the season, specifically Laurie and Patti, if that's what you mean. They switch the theme song starting in the second season, you'll dig it. Trust me I didn't expect the show to be anywhere near as good as it was in third season after watching the first season, it was a pleasant surprise the show took a notable jump in the second season and then closed as strong as it did in the third with yet another jump up in quality.heydaralon wrote:Its not a bad show. The writing is good, it is shot well and they keep you guessing. I'm just worried that the exposition at the end will not be as spectacular as they are building it up to be. I'm definitely finishing the first season, and then go on from there. Capps: Do they at least give some answers by the end of season 1?
Lindelof learned a lot of valuable lessons when he screwed up that Lost ending. In Lost they tried to answer too many of the shows many mysteries, and did so in unsatisfactory ways, that were also not true to the ethos of the show. In The Leftovers they answer what needs to be answered, and leave all the right shit open to interpretation, a perfect balance that Lost's last season and ending were sorely lacking. Hell Lindelof even learned a satisfactory way to explain a tattoo, the most shocking thing of all, if you've seen Lost.heydaralon wrote:You said its made by the same guy who did Lost. I never watched that show, but the common complaint was that ending was lousy. Do you feel that way about Leftovers? Did they wrap everything up nicely?
On Season 2 now Capps. They still haven't explained much lol, but I must admit, I'm intrigued. Its in Texas now.StCapps wrote:The show answers some questions, while leaving a lot of shit unanswered.

After International Assassin, I knew this wasn't just another good TV show in my rotation, it was one of the best shows on TV period. The Leftovers sneaks up on you, the show has a way of surpassing your expectations with every weird turn that it takes, as it really gets rolling. If you haven't noticed that quite yet, you will soon enough.

Anyway, Lost is still a really good show, even though they couldn't nail the landing, pun intended. The show is about a plane crash, do you get it?
The Leftovers ending is awesome, the whole last season, every damn episode, a joy to watch. Better than the first season of The Deuce even, shit you not.
