HBO Original Series - The Leftovers

Premiers on June 29, 2014.


So it's suppose to be some freaky Lost-ish type shit were people vanish in a global rapture and people are left behind. Sounds decent enough to watch and since the co-creator of Lost had a hand in this I will watch as well.

I didn't watch Lost but anything that HBO throws out, I'll usually give it a few episodes at least.

Are you guys ready for this? It premieres tonight! :D

WTF? I thought it premiered last week. I've been looking on the shitty Time Warner Cable on demand for a week for it. I just wonder if it's going to be like Lost and The 4400

Bump. Just watched it. It was pretty good. I guess it's the opposite of The 4400 and the show is really about the leftovers.

Thanks, got it saved on DVR. Plan on watching eventually.

I'm watching.

Good read right here. http://polarbearstv.com/2014/06/30/t...t-review-1x01/

was a little boring.

I'm gonna give it another shot with episode 2.

Jill is fucking hot.

What's the story behind that cult and their predilection for cigarettes?

seriously. Probably the only reason I kept watching.

I'll watch the whole season later.

I thought it was boring but I feel like I will keep watching because it was just intriguing enough to make me want to see the point.

The show is weird. I feel like it's building up to something. Very dark, people in that 'fuck, I'm frustrated with everything including my life at home/work etc' mode.

oh yeah, dat Wire reference imo.

incredibly boring show tbh

I agree, but so far it's been a big mess.

I don't mind slow moving shows (big Downton and Mad Men fan) but there hasn't been anything terribly compelling through two episodes.

^Exactly! I'll give it one more episode because the premise of the show is intriguing. This time I'm gonna complain there's too much character development (yes even for just being into episode 2) and it needs more bang.

need Jill to take off her bra in one of the episodes and I'll commit.

probably wait until season 2 gets picked up and people are raving about it...then watch all of season 1 in a couple of days

The Doctor Who episode tonight was good.

Usually with shows such as these that are kind of awkward and slow building, there is a moment of greatness that occurs between the semi mundane. And that's exactly what happened after Matt Jamison left the casino. The yell, then Captain and Tennille playing afterwards had tears rolling down my face in laughter. Seriously, if nobody else found that funny, check your pulse.
