    Re: The Leftovers (HBO)

    This show is seriously making me want to jump off a building. I really don't want to give up on it but man is it depressing.

      I'm definitely not giving up on it now, I'm too invested in the story.

      The theme song and the general tone of the music that plays during integral scenes of the show. So damn depressing like others say, but I'm in.. Very compelling.

        Yeah I'd be heartbroken if this didn't get picked up for another season. I think the themes, storylines, acting, and music are are A+

          I want to believe all of it is A+ material but in reality I can't justify that grade. Execution still lacking to me, like mediocre writing and acting, but yeah, I can't give up now. Waiting for tomorrow's episode lol, looks wild (like an orgy?)

            I had to look away for that opening scene. Probably the first time I've ever had that reaction to a TV show or movie.

            Looking forward to next weeks episode at least. I think the episodes dedicated to a particular character is a better format for them.

            Edit: I might be an episode behind. I'm not sure. I only watch this on DVR and not sure if I've gotten caught up yet.

              If you saw the episode with the "hate crime" at the beginning, you're caught up.

                I saw a couple seconds of it before I averted my eyes and asked my brother to let me know when it was over.

                  Really don't know what to make of this show. 6 episodes in, and I don't really have an idea of where this show is headed.

                    They gotta do something about the trademark instrumental that plays whenever something "spooky" happens. When I hear it queue up Im like "here we go" lol. They gotta chill with that.

                    Anyway, only thing I got out of this episode is that that lady is kinda hot for an older woman! The beginning scene felt so random and silly to me. Even though they tried to throw sense at it in the later scene with superpower hugs black guy; whose story still confuses me but thats cool. Magic hugs or something idk.

                      I wonder if Wayne really has powers or if the people just feel better on their own because they think he is taking away their pain? I don't know.

                        Loved this last episode, very good writing. I wonder about the guys hugs as well, we'll have to keep watching to find out.

                          I'm betting there are no superpowers involved. He just makes these people feel better by the illusion of some healing power. It's a total scam...but that being said it's a grey area as he is at the very least doing a service that these people need.

                          Although that whole pedophile aspect sours Wayne even more in my book.

                            I've honestly never had such a mediocre show (obviously IMO) grab and continue to hold my attention like this has. I don't know how they're doing it but they have the formula

                              I'm right there with you. It's not a great show right now, IMO. But I keep watching it.

                              Like you said, they have the formula. Might be the kind of show that needs to get a season under its belt before it really gets good.
