One of my favorite subreddits was about the show "The Leftovers". I don't know anyone in real life that has watched it and seeing what people thought while watching the show / after their first watch was great.
My first watch (and rewatch). Beware, it includes spoilers! Like 99% of it is spoilers.
When I first watched season three had just came out. I was ~20 year old and quite impatient person. I binge-watched it eager to find out where the 2% all went. I finished it and didn't think much of it... or so I thought. I put it in the same "basket" with Lost and that was it.
Few weeks after finishing it I was catching myself thinking about the characters, about their story, about the feelings I had while I was watching the show... I am a huge fan of Max Richter (and cinematic music, in general) and every time youtube plays me The departure, it's like I am seeing the hopelessness in the eyes of most of the characters. It's the only show that has affected me that much so far.
I recently rewatched it, and having known the end, the entire journey through the seasons was totally new experience. I knew what happened to everyone and I was just observing all of their emotions, behavior, choice of words... I found the show somehow better than my first watch.
Of course, besides the story, the cast had a crucial part to how great this show was for me. Everyone played their role beautifully. The only character that was somehow redundant (in its current state) was Jill.
So, has anyone here seen the show and what are your thoughts about it?
I have watched all episodes of The office and didn't like it one bit. I am not fan of cringe humour as I suffer a bad case of second-hand embarassement.
The first season of Parks and Rec is like another show, they kind of tried copying the main character from The Office in terms of "cringiness". I've seen people recommend skipping the entire season, but I don't think that is necessary. Just keep in mind that the show improves after the first season and enjoy the rest of it.
