Yeah part of the entire thrust of the show is the kids thinking they can take the old man down while he's weak and then oops Logan ain't that down.

I came in here fully expecting you meant good weird not bad weird! That episode helped cement the series as one of my all-time favorites. The moment Kevin >!has to select a suit!< I knew it was going to be everything I could want in a television episode.

A lot happened in 2 years. I feel like the clone wars should have gone on for like a decade but that wasnt an option for when they made the show.

What I'm saying is if we could create legislation that states company executive and board members go to prison if X happens, you'll find they have miraculous solutions and previously unrevealed projects that guarantee X won't happen.

They just never engage the idea again and all references are jack as an only child like in flash backs etc. They never out an out say he's an only child but that more or less becomes the dynamic.

Reply to comment by mickeyflinn in The Last of Us feels like a spiritual successor or a sibling show to The Leftovers. by [deleted]
Finally! Someone with a little sense.
I tried really hard to like the series, gave it around 1,5 seasons but it was such a depressing slog.
Ffs people in concentration camps found ways to cope, laugh and even have fun. We have diaries to prove it. Because that is humanism, we cope, adapt, learn to find some light even in the darkest of times.
Leftovers on the other hand was “human condition” as viewed by an unbearable teenage emo who just discovered existentialism and can’t stop talking about it.
I really don’t understand the praise it gets.

I can't lie, I've never used TVTime, so I can't compare them directly - all I know is that in terms of logging shows I've watched I really like the UI and how easy it is on Serializd.
Not 100% sure what you mean by does it "mark as watched" automatically, but I logged a show the other day and it considers me having watched the entire show, yeah.

I remember Mad Men having some excellent features and commentary tracks.

It's not really that hard to figure out. I'm not trying to sound like a dick here.
But if you've been paying attention to what's been going on with Kevin the whole season, I think it's a very straightforward episode.
And the surreal elements are fairly tame compared to some of the stuff you get in other shows like Twin Peaks.

The Leftovers never interested me when it aired on television, but man watching it years after it’s possibly one of my favorite television series of all time.

The theme song for season 2 of the show is literally “let the mystery be.” You will not get “answers.”

A perfect episode of a perfect example of a show that went off totally off the rails.
Season one had so much promise and they scrapped practically everything they were building just to make a jaunt through the funhouse. This show was a spectacular disappointment.
This is possibly the most hit-or-miss show I’ve ever seen. If you like continuous storytelling where plots aren’t dropped at the side of the road for the next weird thing: this show probably isn’t for you.
Edit: took the downvoters a minute, but there you are in all your pathetic fragility. God forbid any of us have an opinion and we don’t just stroke it to the circle jerk. I wish you all understood that I don’t write this to criticize your taste. I’m telling the next likeminded sucker not to buy all the gushing, like I did. It absolutely isn’t for everyone and many will be left incredibly disappointed.

This one i heard about. The fact that it says you where to watch stuff is really cool and useful, but the fact (afaik) that it doesn’t track automatically the watched stuff is really a bummer. Plus it seems that there isn’t an automated import from TvTime. Another problem is the fact that, if i have something downloaded on my Plex, it doesn’t suggest me to watch it there. If i said something wrong please let me know

Up vote for calling out HSBC and Wells Fargo on systemic shitty and often illegal behavior.

>I'm starting to feel that I won't ever get answers.
FYI, the show isn't about the "why" of the Departure.
It's about seeing how people reacted to the global trauma of the Departure.
Also, I absolutely loved the Leftovers.

It doesn't matter if she lied, what matters is that Kevin believed her

The show had many episodes where i was left with the question why i should still watch the next. But i can certainly say that it is one of the most satisfiying endings to a show i have ever seen. Every doubt i had was blown away, it was perfect.

Not sure you understand "rights".
In the United States, one can say whatever the fuck they want. And can "demand" that Roseanne's gross ass doesn't show up on TV again. Doesn't mean she won't and that folks saying so will prevent it.
Granted, since her comedy special is only airing on Fox Nation's streaming service it seems the people are being heard.

The behind the scenes for breaking bad and better call Saul are fantastic, couldn't recommend them enough.
Best part of the breaking bad ones is what a shit Bryan Cranston is. Don't get me wrong, he's delightful, but he's constantly fucking with everyone and it's great.
One prank he would pull on Aaron Paul (Jessie) is pretending his character had been killed off. He'd go up to him, tell him how great it was working together on the show, and how he would do great things after leaving, only for Aaron to panic, rush to get the script, and find out he survives.
