I'm not sure Nora actually went to the land of the Departed.

Nevertheless, of what other people think, I found this series to be equivalent to seeing an artist paint a masterpiece. This series gripped me on all levels. Never have any story on cinema or television have ever touched me on an emotional level that this show has done. Bravo to all involved, the writers, the performers, HBO for putting it on, all the way to the set designers and all union workers who put that show together. Bravo! Now the bar has been set so high. I hope that when award season comes, The Leftovers will get their due in a big way.

7 years later and you're still a pretentious dork lmao, holy fuck this show is garbage.

I have a lot of respect for Lindelof after watching The Leftovers, because it shows his growth as a writer. Rather than surrendering his love for ambiguity, he bakes it directly into the narrative. Ambiguity no longer becomes a convenient crutch, but the central theme of the show. I think it's much easier to accept ambiguity when the story wears it on its sleeve from the get-go. Instead of focusing on the tiny details of the plot and getting logical explanations for everything, you can accept the show for what it is and pay closer attention to the themes, characters, emotional arcs, etc.

The writing , the acting, the Music! Thank you Damon Lindelof for bringing us The Leftovers. One of the finest shows on TV

I don't think I've ever had more emotionally profound feelings like I had while watching the leftovers.

DuuuuuuDe!! I know this comment is a year old but I wanted to tell you how big of a fan I am of your channel. And I Love that you appreciate The Leftovers as much as I do. It deserves far more credit. Acting/writing/direction/music, all top teir. Season 2 particularly is some of the best storytellying I've ever seen. Be it movie, tv, book, not much else compares. Damon Lindelof is easily my favourite writer working today. He deserves more credit as well. But I digress...next to NewRockstars you have the Best channel for Game of Thrones dissection/theory videos. Your most recent videos on GoT, from the past couple months, were particularly well done (on the Azor Ahi prophecy?) Did you do a couple for The Leftovers as well...right? Either way, somebody Needs to do an episode×episode breakdown of the series. Similar to how NewRockstars do their GoT breakdowns. Which are so incredibly detailed and well written. And you're right there next to them in my mind. Your breakdown of story points and interpretations there of are Great. As an amateur filmmaker trying to make a career of it, I admire the work you do very much.

Damon is so right that those shows are never judged by their finales, and LOST's reputation is unbelievably unfair. I don't think there's a writer that gets a worse rep than Lindelof, and I don't think there's one that deserves praises any more than him either. As someone who adored the LOST finale, I think he nailed it again. It was all it needed to be, simple yet effective. Episode 7 was fucking fantastic at tying up the stories of Michael, John, Kevin Sr, and Grace,as well as honouring past characters like Patti and Meg. But episode 8 was an amazing resolution of Nora and Kevin's life and romance, as well as having a beautiful final scene with Matt at the beginning. Its so hard to describe to people why I love LOST and The Leftovers other than just saying they make me *feel* like no other show is able to. I love Lindelof's writing. There's something about it that just agrees with my brain. I don't know what it is but I'm always on the same page with any of his ideas. I was hooked from the first episode of The Leftovers, and Lindelof has a brilliant way of just continuing to do shit on TV that I love to see. Like everything with the hotel just made sense to me, from a creative angle. Thank you HBO for allowing this show to happen, thank you Tom Perrotta for writing an amazing book and co-writing the show, thank you to Mimi Leder and all the other fabulous directors of this series for creating such a memorable and visually striking series, and thank you to Max Richter for giving this show an absolutely emotional and powerful soundtrack that just makes me emotional every time. And Bravo, Damon, for all of your work. And I will continue to support all your future projects.

That conversation at the end was everything it needed to be. I love how Lindelof can carry mystery and new ideas in his shows even to the final episode. Like with LOST, everything with the core of the Island was still kept secret until the very end, and that's a fairly important piece of lore to introduce at the last second. And that's a gamble, but it pays off. Same here with Nora's conversation, which was just mind boggling in suggesting/introducing this whole concept of the 'departed' having gone through their own departure, with 98% of the world disappearing instead. It pays off amazingly. Though what I thought was truly beautiful was how it wasn't even shown to us visually, just told. We're living through most of the episode confused as to what happened to Nora on that day, and if she went through, and if what we're watching is real. Since Kevin's final monologue and we're caught up on his side and realise it's all real, it's like we're also having that cup of tea listening to Nora explain what happened. Cause we are just as clueless as Kevin there. Now, Kevin believes her, and so do I, but the fact that people can leave it be open ended is perfect, and I think it's a great summarization/explanation of what happened on the departure day. I think ambiguity is Lindelof's superpower. And the depth to his shows and the way we can all analyse them like this is wonderful.

I think he's a good writer, but he doesn't know how to finish shit. It's kind of annoying. He gave us 2 really large questions that needed answering by the series finale. 1. why is Kevin so got damn special and 2. why did those specific individuals get transported to the other universe or earth or whatever the fuck? that's it! just answer those 2 fucking questions! Instead he copped out and did the same bullshit every other writer does when they can't figure out a decent end. Leave it open ended, and i would have been all for that if he just answered those 2 questions, then leave it as open ended as you want, because then the audience would be able to come up with their own theories, and although we can still do that, it isn't the same, nothing feels right because nothing has really been answered. Oh hey this crazy bullshit happened, look at this guy he's kind of important let's follow him, around for awhile then flip way into the future where we will give you another mystery. everyone that departed isn't in heaven, they just went to another universe. Why you ask? because fuck you that's why! Don't get me wrong i absolutely adore this ans writing, he keeps me on the edge of my seat, he's talented at getting me to care about every character on screen and he brings suspense to simple conversation during the story, and is excellent at providing exposition without giving away anything. he makes me think for it., and this has provided me with the passion to rant like this, i hope he makes more.

Don't you mean "thanks for enriching MY life while I exclude her by watching a show that is traumatic for her, then saying she is weak"? You give me real control freak bordering on incel vibes.

Just finished this show yesterday. I would say this is the first finale I've seen that ended up feeling like perfection. Everything was wrapped up effectively and beautifully.

I loved how open ended the show was after the finale. Just like in real life, nobody knows what is true or real. It was never shown that Nora really went where he said she went or why Kevin can't seem to die. The show was always about people trying to explain the unexplainable and in the end nobody really figured anything out, but they still kept on going. It was the perfect ending to the story for me.

I love this man's imagination. Lost was and is my fave show and The Leftovers easily is a top 10, maybe a top 5. Since watching the finale (which I really liked initially) I've grown to love it more and more. Excellent job, sir!

If I could ask Damon a reasonable question of the writers intent behind the show, it would be "did Jill's phone call to Laurie at the end of "Certified" save Laurie's life?" I thought she committed suicide after watching that brilliant episode 4 times, but then she's alive in the finale. In retrospect, I perceive Laurie's reflective moments before she goes in the water as a change of heart and a change of mind, after the phone call.

Lindelof said in an interview that when the scene was written, and even right before the scene was shot, they were almost totally convinced that she had killed herself. I think that was the intent. But it just didn't "feel" right to them, and that in retrospect it just wouldn't make much sense. So they made it clear in the finale that she hadn't done it.

Was the world he would visit the after life, and the world Nora visited a parallel universe? Did Evie depart or die? Were Kevin and Nora really just a romance story? It never felt that way in the first 2 series. It always felt like they just found each other out of convenience because of the departed, they never seemed to belong together at all.

@catsadilla324

4 жыл бұрын

the point of the show is entirely in what Lindelof said: "what do we do now?" The entire show is all about people interpreting the sudden departure, falsely, truly, to cope, to create meaning where there is none, or where there is. One example of this is with the stolen plastic baby jesus in the beginning of BJ and the AC in season 1. We start with a montage of a carefully hand crafted Baby Jesus. So much is poured into it, but then it's stolen. Then it shows up later at Kevin Garvey's doorstep. It foreshadows later when Holy Wayne's baby, considered by some to be the next messiah, shows up on his doorstep. Kevin and Nora see this as some sort of miracle. But at the end of the day the plastic baby jesus is just a store-brought proxy and not the real Jesus, and Holy Wayne was just a cult-leader con man and his child is not meant to elicit any upcoming salvation. Later in season 2 the baby is stolen from Nora, and it elicits a panic. Sometimes, we just create our own meaning and, sometimes, we just get carried away in our own self-righteousness, often at the expense of ourselves and others...

As many series give us episodes after episodes and stories aka ideas that went wrong and left behide leaving plot holes. My problem is not why the departure happen... it happens because it happens... but we never learned why Christine's child (and the rest of Wayne children) was important... we never learned why Kevin was important we never learned about National Geographic magazine the afterlife world... was what? episodes to fill the seasons?

Loved the Lost finale, Loved The Leftovers finale. I'm one that those judge a show by its finale and it soes play a role in my pantheon of shows. My top shows all had great finales in my eyes. Which is why both Lost and Leftovers are in my top5 All-Time Greatest shows I've watches. Game of thrones sits wayyy in number 10 soon to be out of my top10 just purely because of the finale and how they decides to end it. Endings on shows are so important to me personally, and also for many others as well, but to me its all about how the journey ends. If its not satisfying and more importantly right to the story. For example Supernatural is about to end, they are on their final season and I'm very hesitant how the hell they are going to end the show. So far I find the story sort of forced, and I just hope it makes sense at the end and we get a nice send off to our characters.

Best show ever.

I was about to give a thumps down to the video for such a mischievous title. But i think he did explain the finale. I believe he did at least.

This series it's gonna be following the same path as TV series like "The Wire", unnoticed during its running time, but years after its finale aired, considered one of the best TV shows of the 2010s, and in the history of TV. So let's get prepared to see this gem, that nobody watched, be considered better than Breaking Bad, Mad Men and Game of Thrones in the coming years.

Well, Prometheus for me was a disaster. Everyone complained about Lost not having closure. However, I wasn't expecting The Leftovers to answer any profound questions. I was quite surprised on how much was revealed and answered. What really blow me away is that you found out what happened to the departed. Of course, not all the questions were answered. So much was ambiguous and I can understand that's inherent with his style of story telling. So overall, I was expecting... no, I knew... only minuscule tidbits of the story to be answered and not any of the major plot points to be answered. What I got was the opposite. Where the departed went... well, that was really ingenious... kind of aligns with quantum field theory sums over history approach to reality. Glad to say I'm Damon Lindelof fan now.

What about Garvey coming back to life so many times?

3:56 if you only came here for the leftovers

HOLY SHIT he's the guy who did Lost??? Now I fucking get why I loved Leftovers so much 😂😂😂 I'm completely oblivious to who does what in movies and shows 😅

Breaking Bad nailed the finale!

Breaking Bad has one of the worst finales of any major show, the entire 5th season was a blatant cash grab fueled by misplaced cliffhangers and cheesy lines used for free internet marketin

^WTF are you talking about? The entire 5th Season was the monumental climax of the shows growing themes and character arcs and leads to inarguably the 2 best episodes in the entire show ("To'hajiilee" and "Ozymandias") followed by two smart, and satisfying epilogue episodes that wrapped up the remaining threads. The show is clearly meant to be watched in long stretches and really developed the majority of it's current fan base after it finished airing and was released on streaming platforms, rendering the "cliffhanger" argument pointless. I'm also curious to hear why you felt it had "one of the worst finales of any major show". I found the Breaking Bad finale to be totally appropriate. Walter White is dead in Ozymandias and has already lost his family, his money and everything he did this for in the first place, already lost everything, yet Heisenberg creates one final scheme to achieve some sort of redemption in his own mind. It fits the character and it fits the story, giving us the anti-hero revenge climax we're craving while also critiquing us for wanting it, and clearly implying that Walt is beyond true redemption, finding peace in the cold, calculated steel of meth lab equipment as he lays down and dies. I also liked the BB finale's return to the dark humour that was very present throughout the first couple seasons.

@@thekillers1stfan Agreed. The flash-forward was a huge mistake. Walt dying to a pop song is a lot less effective than him spinning the gun at the end of season four. Bottom line is, they chickened out when it came to turning Mr. Chips into Scarface.

Leftovers actually MIGHT have been the GOAT.

I thought this show reminded me of lost!

He made lost makes sense

I don't care if I'm labelled "simple-minded", but this finale was the most unsatisfying shit ever. I wasted my time watching this show just to be left with way too many unanswered questions. I appreciate artistry and deviating from the norm so that we don't always learn to expect what'll happen in movies/shows. But this level of ambiguity was just straight up fucking frustrating, right to the very end of this show.

This short clip explains why the departure happened (will happen): kzread.info/dash/bejne/eICIlbuOca-wntI.html

I believe he was talking about Lost

Controversy? That finale was one of the best finales of all time.

What ever happened to all that stuff about Nora being possessed by a demon?

I would ask him: Why did you build a whole story about Kevin being Jesus, and spent several episodes around that topic, when finally you don't talk about it anymore and just focus on Nora meeting him again several years, after her experience on the other side?

This is where the whole story makes sense he never claimed that he is Jesus, it is the people around him who believed that he was Jesus because they could not explain events that they perceive as paranormal of which Kevin is a part. but in fact it is the disappearance of the 2% that created this distorted reality in the way they analyze and see things and thus designated Kevin as Jesus to make sense of their questions without answers

the hate over the Lost ending, like the ending of BSG, was frankly ridiculous. Its like people had already decided their ending and refuse to allow themselves to experience the real ending. I know with Leftovers I really tried to stop that feeling, because I know what I wanted to happen, however through out the last three years the show didnt give a hoot what anyone thought. it told the tale it wanted, it was my choice whether I liked it or not. The same with Lost people wanted some sort of answers for something that wasnt interested in answers, It was NEVER interesting in giving answers. why would you expect them in the last episode.

Thank you for putting Perfect Strangers and Gary Busey back on people’s radar 😂

For me concept 2 ℅ vanishing was always contradictory and i never even accepted that we will get logical answers. However , story unfold it becomes discern that they are trying to lead the story toward a conclusion where why? & how? Is not important because it have tendency to create perpetual purgatory. So, if we can't get reasonable answer then why not accept the possibility which nora said she understand in the final scene. Thus, through the story of these character, especially Kevin and nora, show try convey its conclusion or massage .And by the ambiguity of their faces in that final scene and their well known their past chemistry we understand that , the killing of their inner contradiction is much more important for them then finding what is real in this uncertain world. Eventually they accept themselves and believe in each other, that is utterly satisfying according to overall theme of the show.

I hope he does justice for watchmen and not ruin it

I thought the show was more of a love story that made you think it was something more

I found the show amazing but found the ending quite underwhelming. Loved the lost ending, still my favourite. Just wish leftovers ender a bit more beautiful/profound. We should have at least had a glimpse of the where they went, why not show them?? Pretty disappointed

Can someone please explain how the fuck David Burton appeared in the afterlife in Season 2?

@george5954

Because he died just like Kevin did, and came back just the same as well. Or, David Burton never died, and just had an identical twin brother that did.

My problem was that it seemed to be made pretty clear that Burton was clearly a false prophet who wasn't actually God, and was really in the show to highlight to both the audience and Matt that there are no prophets, and we're all just living in one big, random messed up world where crazy shit happens. So after I found out (after watching the finale) that he was the same person on the bridge in "International Assassin", my mind kind of got fucked and I'm still confused.

He's always been in the show at key moments, I suppose you can say he experiences the same kinds of things as Kevin. Kevin sure is a false prophet, Burton can sure be one too, just a more pronounced and cocky one. He kinda witnesses the same things except we see Kevin's story.

David Burton fell in a rock-climbing accident in Australia and died, then a few days later came back to life - this is on a background news story on the "Off Ramp" episode of season 2. In the three years between seasons 2 and 3, Burton got used to assuming he was divine. Kevin downplayed and denied his "deity" at every opportunity, even when he started to wonder if maybe it was true. I think David Burton was someone who experienced the same thing as Kevin (going to the underworld and coming back) and chose instead to play it up and live as if he was a deity, even though he knew he wasn't.

+Mike D +Nicholas So if he really just happened to be someone who died after falling off a cliff and then came back to life (like Kevin, and it isn't really explained how it happened with either man, but anyway), then how did he appear in the afterlife in both episodes 8 and 10 of season 2? He must have been dead a long time.
