The Leftovers - Season One Review
by iwantmycookies | created - 01 Oct 2014 | updated - 18 Nov 2014 | PublicSeason Rating - 9-amazing
Highlight Episode - Two Boats and a Helicopter
Amazing debut season, I loved how the show didn't give everything away and still refuses to. Justin Theroux as Kevin was amazing, as well as Dowd, Coon and Eccleston all being exceptional. Nora and Matt's standalone episodes were both masterful. The last three episodes really kicked things into high gear, the flashback episode offering the answers to how our characters got to where they are now. The finale was packed with content, almost too much, but they managed to make it work and culminate beautifully. Love the soundtrack as well and can't wait for season 2.
