I'm done with the Leftovers. I think I
might have said this once during the first season, but three episodes
into the second season and it is confirmed that I don't want to know
what happened, what is happening and what will happen on that show.
Episode 3 confirmed it when it ended with the line: “Who wants a
hug?”
From what I have understood so far, The
Leftovers is a show about what is happening in the life of the main
characters since The Departure, or, when 2% of the world's population
just disappeared all at the same time. The first season kept you
guessing: Is there something supernatural at play or is this all hoax
and hoopla? The characters were interesting and that mystery wasn't
too bad. But, so far, this second season has really struck the same
note as Lost, Flash Forward, and all those other “shows that have
no end” as my bestie puts it, so well.
So, I did some light internet research
to figure out if there were any “shows that have no end” that I
liked (Google search: Shows like Lost) and came up with these:
Twin Peaks- I watched this entire
series, but I was 10-11 years old when this was on and it was what my
parents were watching, so, I just watched it. FYI: My parents love
“shows that have no end” to this day. The latest program I was
appalled they followed was The Dome.
Carnivale- Oh! I knew there was
supernaturalness going on in this show. There was no question about
that. I'm just upset they never got to finish it. Why did you pull
the plug, HBO? It's like they hired a Fox representative the week
they were planning the third season.
Okay. I think that's it of the Lost
replacements aka “shows that have no end” that I agree with.
As far as The Leftovers, Season 2, it
gets one star*. Yay! The first one star* post! It gets one star*
because, unlike real leftovers, I don't want to finish it. Happy
belated Thanksgiving, by the way.
Don't forget Terra Nova. Heroes. Flash Forward. Revolution. The Event. And the latest I think was Wayward Pines. Jut from the posters I know what type of show these are an that they were written with a good premise with no follow through. I still need to watch the episode you told me about. And when you mentioned V I thought you meant the new series. Ugh. Faith became a weapon. Faith!!!
