Yeah I can see you point, the second EP was pants but I will see it though only 10 EPs.it does get better, but doesn't really reach the heights of other HBO shows.
The first episode rubbed me up the wrong way with its ham fisted parallels with 9/11
If you didn't like that I wouldn't watch Season 2. Lindelof has stated that they don't intend to ever give answers because that's not what the show is about: it's not about the event, it's about the effects. Personally, I don't think they'll be able to stick to that and will probably have to come up with some Lost type gubbins, but I'd admire them more if they stuck to their guns.FFS that was a crap season Finale, nothing answered , nothing explained.

Literally just watched it myself and ... it's different. Clearly changing the tone following criticisms of the last being all about depression, grief and suicide!Season 2 started a couple of days ago. I will give it a watch.
It was intriguing, having recently binge-watched the first season, because the S2 opener was still uncomfortable/unpleasant viewing, just for a completely different reason. And I doff my cap to them for that. It restores my faith in TV that shows like this even get made, let alone commissioned for a second season.I thought it was excellent. Definitely trying to be less depressing, even the opening credits have changed to highlight that. And so weird too. That opening scene had me and the housemate going "what the feck?" throughout.
I'd say it was better than the majority of the episodes in season one.
In the previous episode enough happened for a whole season. Really weird thing to suggestYeah, especially when the scene involves those weirdos in white smoking their brains out, communicating through flash cards and note pads, the suspense of finding out what they scribble and then the expression on their faces whilst the cards are held up is truly phenomenal.
I am actually glued to watching it but each episode feels like a let down.In the previous episode enough happened for a whole season. Really weird thing to suggest
It's definitely a Marmite show. And oddly addictive, even if you don't enjoy it. I only know one other person (irl) who watches it and he says that he hates it, that it drives him mad, but that he still feels compelled to watch it. I'm coming to the conclusion that The Leftovers itself is a bit like being part of a cult. Not many followers but those who are, are pretty damned committed. I think it might even be my favourite thing on TV. Just ahead of Peppa Pig.
I've never been a fan, always found him overrated as an actor. But I think he's brilliant in this. Similarly Justin Theroux ... clearly something about the show.I've seen Christopher Eccleston in many shows, but I've never liked him as much as I do in this one.
Another really good episode in my opinion and really made me feel for his character.
I'm not sure if I've watched the last two episodes of The Leftovers or if I'm having a psychotic breakdown and just imagining them. It's just turned so messed up and in the best possible way.
I like this show but then again I couldn't get into Mr Robot which you really liked but I'd say give it a go because its "different".Just finished Mr Robot, this and Man in the high tower thingy are next, this one worth it?
I think after the last episode this was inevitably going to be a change of pace etc. But it is without doubt the most messed up show on TV.Wasnt my favourite episode
