Doesn't get anywhere near the attention it deserves which is a tragedy. I have to say, S2 really has turned it around for me. From the theme tune to the pace, it's like a completely different show. I perservered with the first season, because it was brilliantly made and weird enough to keep me hooked in looking for answers, but it was so slow and dull at times, I didn't have much hope for S2. Glad I was wrong. I might have to give S2 of The Affair a go now just in case the same thing happened with that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V01 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I couldn't stick S1, seemed to be another Lost to me. A shame really, I thought it was an interesting idea when I heard about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I tried with The Leftovers but I couldn't get over the fact that the apparent bad guy was Johnson from Peep Show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginko Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 (edited) I couldn't hold out for Fargo season 2 to finish so I could binge watch it all the way through, so I started watching it this weekend and have so far managed to pace myself. I loved it after the first episode. The quality of the writing, the cinematography, the acting, the sound design and musical choices, and the fact they've given it that 70s vibe just to give themselves an additional challenge of the difficult second season -- and it totally works. I'd love for someone to write a detailed piece comparing the quality of writing of the first two seasons of Fargo to the quality of writing of the first two seasons of True Detective. Noah Hawley has done a fantastic job, whereas I think Nic Pizzolatto has been well and truly shown up as a fraud who lucked out in his first season by being saved by two fantastic actors and a writer who peddles pretentious overly-complicated twaddle and cheesy, unrealistic dialogue.

villa4europe Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Leftovers season 2 finale, so so so good. Best series of television I think I've ever seen. If this gets cancelled when shite like Jessica Jones gets plaudits I'll be so so gutted. Everything about the Leftovers oozes class. Doesn't get anywhere near the attention it deserves which is a tragedy. It's getting the reviews but not the ratings, think it needs a big Emmys, nods for best show and IMO almost definitely a nod for best actor for Kevin, he's been superb, and then also a gap in HBOs schedule To answer the question about Boardwalk, it ran its course, the production costs were too high to keep stringing it out, the went too linear with the antagonist IMO, rushed the end, the secondary characters have a much more interesting 30s than Nucky so they ended it They have got GoT, ballers, girls, true detective, west world, mighty 8th (band of brothers stuff) the knick I'd like to think the knick and true detective are more at risk than the leftovers and HBO did at least let treme finish despite poor ratings, whether or not they did it as an attempt to keep the director sweet and will do the same here I don't know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Whatever happened to Boardwalk Empire, was it cancelled, or did it just run it's course? Pretty sure it ended definitively and as planned. Haven't seen any myself since season 2 though so not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it seemed to go downhill after season 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I've also just finished The Leftovers. I don't know what I think about it. On the one hand, it's **** brilliant. Season 2 really took it up a notch. On the other it's a piss take. I'll admit, I'm a sucker for questions being answered. I don't like things being left too open-ended. This show answers virtually nothing. I can't remember who it was earlier in this thread that told me that the pretty much all of the season one mysteries were answered in season 2 but if they were, I must have missed it. It just keeps posing more and more questions without answering 90% of them. I did really enjoy it, though. Would definitely recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I loved this series, I'm not overly fond of the hotel stuff, Theroux was superb, the new family worked, the GR worked, the ex wife and son stuff was hit and miss, Matt stuff again was hit and miss (his accents still shit) Will get round to watching Fargo but until I do it's the best thing on TV for me And the music is brilliant, the piano loop from series 1 and the use of the pixies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For whatever reason, the final season only had 8 episodes. This meant the ending was rushed, and led to a lot of the plots not being finished. The final season although excellent, was a bit of a let down because of this. Over all though, a brilliant show. Season 3 with Gyp Rosetti was magnificent at times.

theboyangel Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Gave up after 3 episodes of the latest Arrow season - I know its a comic book adaptation but it was getting too daft even for that. Don't think i'll miss it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
