    Yeah that's one of the more jarring parts. Especially where she starts to speak at the end.

    Yeah her breaking her silence made it worse for me

    I really need to do a rewatch of this show. Only seen it through the one time, but loved it so much.

    if im being honest with you, it did for me. I haven’t been able to really get into or connect with new tv shows since this one finished.

    The only show on now that even comes close to being as good as The Leftovers is Better Call Saul

    I've never seen The Wire besides the first few episodes a few years ago. Maybe I should do that?

    The Wire definitely reaches this. Sopranos, Twin Peaks (new season is honestly similar to The Leftovers), Mad Men, Rectify. This is the top tier of television. I enjoyed most of Castle Rock until it got to the end but I’d bet fans of this would like that.

    I’d throw Boardwalk Empire on the list too, but it is BLEAK. Haven’t even finished that one yet.

    ugh i have such a beef with this show. it was SO GOOD for S1 and S2, then they took a hard left and the remaining seasons just went way off what I thought the story was set out to be. It got real bad IMO. I don't think I watched the last season fully, I just read how it ended, and I was satisfied.

    That's actually around where I dropped off, I think. The writing and the acting is just so good, but it never really drew me in the same way some of the other shows I mentioned. I do want to come around to it again eventually. Buscemi's best role, in my opinion, really shows off his acting chops.

    LOST is an obvious answer if you've never seen it.

    I've always considered LOST my favorite show for like 15 years now, but I think The Leftovers might finally take that spot. I swear I'm not just a Lindelof fanboy

    the twist at the end of Boardwalk in the final scene was very satisfying for me considering the reason I started to stray from the show in the first place.

    Never watched LOST. I've always been intimidated by how long it is and what I've heard about the bad ending. I don't know anything other than people are upset about it.

    I'd also recommend The Knick for those who can find it. It's on Cinemax and I don't know where else. It's an excellent medical drama set in the early 1900s about addiction and grief with TONS of style.

    The finale of Lost rules. The rest of the final season is kinda rough. But the first five seasons hold the fuck up as some of the best tv ever.

    I second Better Call Saul and Mad Men.

    Currently wrapping that series up now. It's very good once you get into it albeit more on the nose about the themes/messages.

    Better Call Saul is awesome.

    Yeah, that's creepy as hell.

    I need to watch this whole show again. I love the opening credits song starting in season two.

    Yeah the GR’s plan coming to fruition in Season 1 is so crazy. Nora’s grief in that moment is just tough

    I thought I was the only person that watched/loved The Knick. Nice to learn there's more of us out there. Has it gotten renewed at all since ending S2?
     
  25. They had a plan for seasons 3 and 4 but the show was cancelled.
