Springfield Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 New series on HBO up for discussion. Lots to come from this show I hope. So far so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 So clearly, the police chief is going crazy, or perhaps not. Maybe the bald man isn't a figment of his imagination after all. His daughter and her friend have seen him presumably... unless they are also figments of his imagination. Then there is the black guy who wants to hug everyone. And why is the chiefs wife with the crazy people in white. There has to be something going on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacks 'n' Stuff Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Saw a special on it but haven't seen the show yet. Started it On Demand this afternoon but only got 5 minutes in before I got pulled away for something. Looks interesting and HBO gets the benefit of the doubt.

Kosher Ham Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Geez, I haven't even watched the first episode. Thanks guys for no real spoilers. Â I prefer to stash a few to watch at a time when a series starts to see if I like it. Â Looks pretty interesting though and I will check it out next Thursday. ( I'll have 3 episodes by then ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD_washingtonredskins Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I'm intrigued but not completely hooked yet. I love the tone and the heavy feel to it. They do a great job of transporting the viewer to this new world that has been brought about.  One thing that the director (Friday Night Lights) and the producer (Lost) have done well in the past is getting you to connect with and fall in the love with the characters. That hasn't happened for me yet with the Leftovers, so I'll see how that goes. In fairness, I can't recall if it happened after 2 hours with those two shows either.  I'm going to give it the full first season no matter what. It's interesting and has great potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacks 'n' Stuff Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Watched the first episode last night. Slow but I'll watch the next couple to see where things go. Question: is this puppy designed to wrap up in one season or is this an ongoing series? If it's the latter, I don't have a good feeling about it.

Chew Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 First episode down. I enjoy it. This show hits pretty hard, awfully depressing. But I can believe the new world they've created. Everybody is confused, depressed, and angry. Not sure how they can go more than one season with this without it losing its intensity by drawing **** out. Justin Thoreaux (chief) is from dc. Awesome, wonder if he's a skins fan. +1 on the chiwf's daughter. Googled her asap, she's the daughter of the chick from Groundhog Day I think.

Dont Taze Me Bro Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Watched both episodes, won't post spoilers. Â First was very slow, but good, made me want to watch the next episode. Â Last nights episode, not as slow as the first and odd, felt like the pace was slow, but next thing I know it's over and I'm wanting to see the next episode. Â Things are starting to somewhat shape up and the scene with his father at the end made me very curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoCalMike Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 The opening scene to last night's episode was one of the most horrific things I have seen depicted on a TV show. Wow. The movie is slow but deliberate. You know they are building towards something, so it will largely be about the payoff, since this isn't the kind of show that huge things are going to happen from week to week. Â So far the story and "mystery" has me interested enough to stick around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont Taze Me Bro Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Im still not sure what to make of this show, yet I tune in every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I liked the episode that focused on the pastor the best so far. Still not sure what to make of it all, but I'm interested enough to keep watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pick6 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I just hope this doesn't turn into a whole the police chief is crazy and it is all about him. I would be highly disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo-toni Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Actually the police chief died in a car crash that took out several town members, and now they are all in hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 I don't know about this one. I'm behind and I don't know if I'll bother catching up. Too much mystery and too little reveal. It's like they add more questions instead of answering any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
