You obviously never watched John from Cincinnati....now there was a show that was fukked from the jump.

 

[Mr. Manhattan]

Watching the 1st season now.. don't know what the fukk is happening but i think this is the point and all will be explained

 

[FlyRy]

Stick with season 1 because season 2 and 3 are some of the best seasons of television of ALL TIME

Yeah you gotta be patient, if you can get passed season 1 the payoff later is tremendous.

 

[Brandeezy]

at some of these posts. The Leftovers was the best season of TV this year.

 

[Dominic Brehetto]

@ payoff.

What payoff.

To be fair no one could have foreseen that season 2 would be such an incredible leap from season one. I don't think there's ever been such a tremendous Improvement and reversal of sentiment

FALSE narrative.

Season 1 was fantastic. It just became "cool" in season 2 to watch

Yeah, I'm calling out the flip floppers. I see through it

You're in the minority. Even TV critics agree with me. It was never cool to watch this show. So many people hated s1 they never returned for s2 or 3. It had low ratings other than critics and us tv snobs

S2 > S3 > > > S1

I always felt like The Leftovers was underappreciated whenever I watched it. Great show though.

 

[Mr. Manhattan]

I'm watching the second season now..

Review: ‘The Leftovers’ is still TV’s best drama as season 2 begins

Was Season 1 polarizing? Definitely. But plenty of people appreciated it from the very beginning. I don't like to speak for people, but I'm pretty sure @Adam3000 wasn't being literal about it being cool to watch, hence the quotation marks. But he's right, in the midst of season 2, everyone "in the know" was singing the shows praises. To better make my point though, the "cool" show to watch nowadays(which was never polarizing) is Mr. Robot. Compare the ratings of both shows and you'll be surprised.
