What do you think? Do you like The Leftovers TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for season two?
One of the dumbest shows….EVER!
I don’t want to wish ill will towards a show that some people might like but I am praying they cancel this show in the first season because I really don’t want to wait a much longer time for HBO to concoct a more interesting show that deserves to be in that time slot.
Well said Shane. I stopped watching this pile of dung after the pilot. The characters’ behavior is way over the top for 2% population disappearing THREE years ago. Makes me want to slap them all into next Tuesday! Boring and insipid plot. Leftovers have gone bad.
Dear God,
Make me a bird so I can fly far, far away from this God awful show.
The Leftovers is one of the best shows on t.v. I think it is fresh and original.
It is obviously too intense for some viewers. If that is the case feel free to change the station. You watch your sitcoms and cartoons or whatever you consider “safe” that does not cause too much thought. The rest of us are really enjoying this show. Sadly, I don’t believe there will be a season 2 but go ahead and surprise me!! Keep The Leftovers going.
This show is what happens when stupidity and boring have a baby.
looove it. first series both my hubby and I have watched every week since Enlightened
GREAT SHOW. I HATE WHEN IT ENDS. DO NOT CANCEL.
WOW…. I see we are definitely in the minority, but we love this show. I already like/hate or are indifferent to a lot of the characters (not the acting/actors), but that is a good thing. Quite a few of my around-the-office mates that have HBO discuss our theories on what happened, what’s up with cult, and a lot of seemingly random “stuff” that happens each show.
I think the casting was absolutely brillant from top to bottom.
This is possibly the worse show ever. Nothing about this show makes any sense. Please leave it behind for some good TV.
This show is just…it’s just awful.
Brutally stupid show, bordering on offensive to viewers’ intelligence. Really shocked this dung came from HBO!
Stop the show. Self indulgent crap with horrible matephors involving dogs. Crap.
It’s a horrible show, uses non necessary violence ( Gladys death) and cheap sexual scenes like the unaesthetic uncircumcised ***** of the wacko english guy. When will something happen? I’m done with this series, I don’t understand how good actors, good production, good art direction can be wasted with poor screenplay and bad direction.
The only thought it provokes is “When is SOMETHING going to happen?”
I LOVE THIS SHOW!!! It should definitely be renewed. So nice to see an intelligent, thought provoking series for a change.
Talk, talk, and more talk that doesn’t go anywhere. No more for me.
