The Leftovers new Damon Lindelof Hbo series

You didn't like True Detective and now this?.....So Now, I'm know you're a def troll so def won't take you seriously.

True Detective was boring. I liked Fargo better. I just don't understand what this show is about, is it really just people dealing with the aftermath? If so, I wanna see ep 9 first. fukk 8 episodes of wondering why people are acting weird and shyt. Even AVClub said in the review that it could have been the pilot. If that is any indication of the first 8 eps, I doubt it will spoil the show for me. We'll see though.

I just don't understand why they would wait until the end of the season to show the events leading up to the "Rapture", why not start off with it. I'll watch the pilot, but If I'm not sold I might take in ep 9 after. I'm not entirely sure yet if this show will be for me. I hope it has a lot of mystery like Lost though.

It is just a different form of storytelling breh

There are mysteries throughout episodes 1-8 that are resolved in episode 9 during the flashback

If episode 9 came first, then much of the drama and intrigue of the series is lost

Have you seen the movie "Memento"? What you are talking about doing (watching #9 first) is akin to saying "that movie Memento was good, but I wish they would have showed the scenes in order instead. I'm going to recommend my friends watch it in reverse"

It just makes no sense. You are ruining the storytelling and mystery. Might as well not even watch the show to be honest. And yes, I acknowledge that you have already said you wouldn't watch it that way, I just was at work and didn't get a chance to respond to this post in time

If the first 8 episodes are in the future. How can ep 9 resolve them if its in the past?

Just watched ep 9 bout to watch the pilot now.

Not bad.

i gotta be real, when i found out that Mr. Jennifer Aniston would be staring in this show, I thought it was going to be trash.

but this show aint that bad.


anybody else agree?

Best thing about episode 9 besides getting some background info is the sheer contrast in mood and tone. They presented quite possibly the most depressing show ever for eight episodes only to show us these tortured people enjoying themselves and smiling for an hour. shyt took me completely off guard

What's up with the first episode being in the summer and the second in the winter? Do all the episodes take place months apart?

It does; remember when Kevin started dating Nora..the very next episode, they had been dating for over a month, so each episode is after a few weeks or a month

Yea you're right and the first ep started in october and the second one Meg says its been a few weeks. The second ep takes place in december I'm guessing.
