The Leftovers is een Amerikaanse fantasieserie van HBO. De serie ging in première op 29 juni 2014.
The Leftovers volgt een aantal personen die in de buitenwijken wonen van Mapleton. Zij moeten opnieuw hun leven opbouwen nadat er 100 personen op mysterieuze wijze zijn verdwenen.
I advise you not to watch the first few minutes of episode 5. At least it made me a bit nauseous.. For the rest I don't think it's a disappointing series. I can understand that people don't like this, but I don't have that at all. Series is, in my eyes, more and more interesting.
Nor is the entire intent of the series to solve the mystery surrounding "The Departures". They also know nothing about it, as they even indicated in the 1st or 2nd episode. They have no scientific explanation for it. The series also revolves around those who are "left behind." The premise is therefore as follows: "It centers not on the people who were taken, but on the ones left behind." The "The Guilty Remnant" is a community that thinks God has decided all this. They also see themselves as the "Living Memories of God's mighty power." They believe that the rest of the people, the 98%, have been rejected by God because they don't believe enough. By behaving in this way they want to show God that they too believe. In this way they want to demonstrate to God that they are ready to be taken away, just like the previous 2% of the world's population.
HBO, I love you! The Leftovers has been renewed for a third and final season! Source: http://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/the-leftovers-hbo-series-renewed-for-third-final-season/
So that was it, money tap clearly turned off and they have just been allowed to make a 'valve'. What a disappointing end for an otherwise nice looking away strange series that could have remained nice and strange for me for a while. But probably not mainstream enough for money machine HBO.
This is typically a series that can be broadcast on HBO. This is very bizarre. I even got a bit depressed from some pieces :P I'm curious how this will go on. I'll keep watching!
Season 2 will bring changes. For example, a number of cast members will no longer be seen. Also, Mapleton, the city where most of Season 1 was played, will not be seen much in Season 2. You can find out who will no longer be there in Season 2 via the link below, for example. read about the changes that will take place: http://deadline.com/2014/12/leftovers-cast-shakeup-season-2-series-moves-new-town-hbo-1201311608/
Had passed the series after half an episode, but after reading some more reviews and even comparing it to lost I thought, let me sit down a bit longer, and without regrets !! It gets really good after a few episodes, from that moment on the series will not let you go. If I have to describe the series it is a psychosis experience literally, insanely acted by our Kevin Garvey .. delicious head that I often broke down, taking herself and everything seriously seriously, wonderful !! That ends a bit in S2, where it all gets crazier and crazier. I would have liked a season between S2 & S3 but good. Everything is wonderfully vague and mysterious, why aren't there more series in this genre ?! By the way, I thought the end of the leftovers was just as vague as Ivelintje lost! Delicious series !!
To be honest, I doubted whether I would start with season 2, but what starts this season strongly, the first two episodes get a nice 9 from me, hopefully the series will maintain this level.
