The Leftovers (HBO) TV Show • Page 70

I'm sittin' in the railway station
Got a ticket to my destination

 

I listen to the Max Richter score so much.

 

I can’t think of any show where the premiere or finale is the best episode of the show

 

Nathan For You?

 

Six Feet Under

 

There's so many where the pilot is the best, but the show sucked then got cancelled. That's showbiz baby

 

glad this thread got bumped… girlfriend has never seen this so a rewatch is in order.

Also I think the Twin Peaks pilot kind of counts, but the return has some strong episodes so i’m not sure if it remains the best one.

 

Twin Peaks definitely surpasses its pilot, and then some. The finale is incredible but I feel weird calling it the best hour of the Return when so much of it relies on what came before.

Six Feet Under is a good call, that finale is achingly beautiful.

 

just watched the cruise episode w/ matt. holllyyyy shit this season is crazy.

 

"That's the guy I was telling you about."

 

Gonna need an update here on those last 3 episodes, assuming your brain has recovered enough to do so

 

no. i am not well after finishing. carrie coon ended me.

 

we fucked up with nora

 

*god only knows what i'd be without you fades out, Departure diary theme fades in*

 

Also, going back to the Matt episode discussion, I definitely remember in the lead up to Season 3 how excited we all were for that season's "Matt episode" because the ones in the first two seasons were so good lol. And it did not disappoint.

But this is still one of my favorite scenes in a show full of great scenes

 

Watched Heat for the first time(yes I know) and was going crazy trying to figure out where I recognized Deniro’s love interest from. She’s from this and looks the exact same lol she has not aged.

 

I just realized today that Kevin Sr. is also Jack Crawford in Silence of the Lambs.

 

Just waiting around for @popdisaster00 and others from the Succession thread to start this show like:

 

HBO marathoned season 1 yesterday and 2 today. I forget how many good lines there are in this show.

“What if I told you the solution to all your problems was a magical black man sitting out on the edge of town? Thats borderline racist.” lmao…Ann dowd’s delivery of her lines in season 2 are all great

 

I’ve been do for a rewatch of this and Rectify so maybe in the spring I’ll do that. Both shows I originally watched in the spring and they give me those vibes now

 

The entire show was incredible, but I'm surprised how many people say it gets better in season two. The first season is beautiful. The actors project such a sincerity that threatens to become corny or melodramatic but they always avoid spilling over.

 

I honestly never saw or noticed a bad first season and only in this thread/website.

 

S1’s only issue is the pace. It’s a slog. But worth it in the long run.

 

I think season one is amazing, and then it gets better
