>Between Seasons 1 and 2, the show relocated its characters from suburban New York to rural Texas; we learned earlier this year that we would once again face a change in the scenery for Season 3, when The Leftovers moves to Australia for the bulk of the season.
>But the move to Australia won't be the only big change ahead for Leftovers fans when Season 3 premieres. They'll also be treated to an increased focus on one of the show's peripheral characters, protagonist Kevin's mentally ill former police chief father Kevin Garvey, Sr. (Scott Glenn). Glenn was a recurring presence throughout the show's first two seasons, although the actor has been promoted to a series regular for Season 3 — and his character is the driving force behind the show's relocation, since Kevin Sr. was last seen in a vision while camping out in an Australian cave.
This is a top 10 all time tv show if he nails the final season.
He seems to know how to ride the line between magical and real, but I really hope he doesn't fuck it up.
Ayden Ramirez
I have a feeling Season 3 will be great.
Leftovers has to be the most unerrated show this decade.
Brody James
Why is he so obsessed with Australia?
Brody White
It's not underrated by anyone who watches it. Same with Rectify and The Americans. Probably my favourite shows on tv at the moment but not many people are watching them.
Brody Thompson
Daily reminder that this no taste shitposting and shill board uniformly loves this vacuous uninspired garbage and that's all the barometer you need to stay far away from it.
Cameron Powell
Sup Forums is always right

>not underrated by anyone who watches it
What
Ryder Walker
can't wait fàm
Season 2 has two of my favourite episodes of tv ever (International Assassin and No Room at the Inn)
my only gripe with the show is they really do overuse that one song, but hey ho it's not a big deal
Carson Martinez
>Rectify
How to spot a pretentious cunt. That show is garbage.
David Parker
the water flows in the opposite direction
Caleb Collins
There really is no show like it
Joshua Rivera
You can't rate something if you don't watch it. Everyone who watches the Leftovers loves it
Dominic Scott
I feel like a decade from now when this "peak tv" meme has ended and the glut of formulaic anti-hero/crime thriller/period piece/twist driven prestige dramas are forgotten this will get much more attention than it does now.
What other shows currently on avoid those aforementioned tropes? I loved The Young Pope and have been hearing good things about The Girlfriend Experience.
Austin Wood
The OA explores similar terrain.
Christian Reed
I just want to see 8 hours of my Husbando Kevin
Evan Hernandez
I watched The OA and I kind of enjoyed it, but it doesnt capture that feeling of dread and hopelessness that you feel in The Leftovers. That vibe I cant really explain
Blake Walker
Wrong
Owen Gomez
That's true. I think the music has a lot to do with creating that vibe.
Jacob Wilson
Peak TV is well over and the fact that pretentious poorly constructed shit like Leftovers, Fargo, Better Call Saul, and Westworld still get praise heaped upon them for how "deep" they are is a direct sign of that.
Leo Gonzalez
You don't seem to understand what "peak" means.
Aiden Sanchez
Compare the dearth of classic television shows that were on the air in any given week a decade ago to this year.
Justin Sullivan
"Peak" refers to temporary situation in which demand spikes relative to supply, incentivizing lower quality production. At the peak of the internet bubble, for example, absolutely shitty business concepts were receiving extravagant funding.
>Will Lindelof fuck it up? No. and i base that solely on wishful thinking, hearing the end to lost was a disaster but surely he's learned also, anyone else hatewatch this show at first? it took me until e5 or 6 to start appreciating this show
Fair enough, I was conflating it with the Golden Age. I still have no idea how you think that Leftovers is somehow immune from the lower quality of television currently, especially since it's representative of the once king of television and how fall it has fallen.
Adrian Baker
Lindelof never learns.
Bentley Mitchell
HBO prematurely cancelled it. That's a sure sign of a good show these days.
Kevin Martin
I really like the show, I really hope they nail it again. The only other recent show that got me emotionnal was Hannibal. When is it programmed?
Asher Gomez
He clearly did learn, though, which is why this show isn't on NETWORK TELEVISION.
Levi Kelly
>poor man's "The OA"
Jacob Myers
I'm not the poster who said it will go down in history, although I do enjoy the show. However, I agree with the general sentiment that during "bubble" times, unconventionally brilliant projects sometimes get financed that would never get financed in normal times. In 2016, there are 455 scripted tv shows currently in production. 99% of them are crap, but one or two might turn out to be gems.
