It's from the guy who also did Lost.

Deal breaker  >:(

I personally thought it was very interesting.

Not sure where it's going, though.

It is interesting but the first episode seemed convoluted. Too many things going on for me. But I guess since it's the pilot episode, firing shots at different directions can be forgiven. Just hope it hones in on specific storylines though.

Got a decent score at Metacritic, 66/100.

How is episode 2?  I would like to get the general consensus first before trying this show.
Title: Re: The Leftovers

More or less the same, but easier to watch, since you're familiar with the characters/storylines already.

Critics say the third episode is the one to watch as the series is supposed to gain momentum from there.

Nice one. Good to see the focus on a more dynamic and interesting character for a change.

3 episodes in and I'm done--this show is so f**king depressing that it will suck the life out of anyone who watches it. The characters are highly unlikeable, including the rage-filled, dog-shooting lead character. Not recommended viewing for those who are feeling down, as watching this will probably make them commit suicide.

Too bad. The cold opening of Episode 5 would've left you with your jaw hanging.

Heard about Gladys, and wow, more graphic violence and cruelty to brighten my day--imagine that? I'm "glad" I pulled out.  >:D

Haha that stone throwing opening was so sick. I hate that Im still trying to watch this just to see how it ends.

Color me sick, but that cold opening was the very first time I smiled this entire season. I only wish they'd done the same to more of those idiotic cult members.

They should be using magic slates or whiteboards instead of paper.

Haha I hate their weird ways. Surely they have valid reasons for being so weird?

Hopefully their reason for being will be revealed soon coz my patience is wearing thin for this show.

You might be in for a long wait...that hack Lindelof wrote this show, and it's probably his revenge for the collective hate he earned for the ending of Lost and the script of Prometheus, LOL

Yep. Seems like it. Yet another episode went by and still no answers. Haha

I guess this isnt a show about answering the mystery, rather, merely showing what  effect that mysterious event has on the people.

I did like the Nora, episode, though.  Had a bit of a fun element to it which, for the most part, had been missing from the series.

Thank God for the ff button! This is getting to be a vignette of depression and despair.

These two and Carrie Coon (what a milf!ganda ng katawan sa ep.7) are the only reasons I am still watching. Haha pero medjo wala talagang sense tong palabas na to

Okay, I actually liked this week's episode. Seeing how it began really helped you understand the current behavior of some of the characters more.

Agreed. I just wish they could've done this storyline a lot earlier than episode 9. :-

Can't wait to see the next one.

At least there were some answers. That's enough for me.
