Is The Leftovers the best TV show of the decade so far?

_____yes_____
>>
>>63577074
definitely

in fact, i'd sa it is one of the only tv shows ever to not be inherently reddit
>>
>>63577122

Mad Men isn't particularly Reddit.
>>
I just started watching it. 2 episodes in. I find it quite riveting. Also is there going to be alot of violence? I feel it building up.
>>
I just binge watched the first two seasons. It's boring pleb bullshit. It uses slow talking and music nonstop to try to convey emotion that isn't earned. It's terrible.
>>
>>63578781
Although I thought it was fantastic, I do have mixed feelings about the use non-diegetic music in sad shows. Still, season 2 was better about it, and the music choice was nonetheless excellent, so fuck it.

so why did you binge watch it? keep lying to yourself, faggot
>>
>>63579215
Same reason I binge watched the last two seasons of homeland, I was bored as fuck at work.

It's good, but not that good as that picture tries to portrait it.
>>
That's not Danger 5
>>
>>63579366

Danger 5 isn't even the best Aussie show of the decade
>>
>>63579240
There are tons of shows out there you could have watched. You sat through two seasons because you liked it

If you aren't remotely mining an asteroid right now with a swarm of robots from home in solar orbit, you're wasting your potential. Because we're all wasting our potential. Because current reality is an existential nightmare form which there is no escape where only what is easy and profitable is rewarded.

It's a fucking great show (and although season 2 was less to my taste, I'd still give it a solid 9/10), but it's not nearly the best of the decade.

We've had shows like Mad Men, A Young Doctor's Notebook, The Americans and Utopia, all of which are at least just as good if not better.

That picture is fucking cancer tho.

if I hate most of what damon lindelof has ever written is there still a chance I'll like this show

Probably not, the amount of butthurt L O S Tfags who don't watch the show and call it shit is overbearing

I think it's his most polished.
>>
>>63581048

It's the best thing he's ever written, this is coming from someone who loved Lost but thinks all the films he's written are shit. If you're autistic and nitpick details or hate mysterious things happening without explanation then it's not for you.

show will end next season

feels bad man

>>63581559

I wish it ended now honestly, S2 ended perfectly.

I'm mostly scared for Matt and Mary, they're happy now but I don't need a down ending for them.
>>
>>63581652
Yeah. I get anxiety watching this show sometimes, because there's always a perfectly plausible way it could go horribly wrong for the characters.
>>
its gonna be remembered as damon lindelofs best work

its like lost but with only the good things
lost was like training ground for him

season 3 when

genius masterpiece intro

seriously, if you hated it the first time you saw it you're a certified pleb
>>
Does it lean in any particular direction, be it politically, religiously, etc?
>>
>>63581905
well if this tell you anything, the main bad guys of the show are basically religious terrorists
>>
>>63581905
It stays neutral, until it doesn't.
>>
>>63581961
>until it doesn't

Oh boy.
>>
>>63581905
Politics is largely irrelevant. It seems like most people stopped giving a shit after the happening happened. It hints at divine things happening, but leaves it ambiguous about whether they were real or not. One of the main characters is a priest tho.
>>
>>63577320
Mad Men is redditcore. Even the title of the series is a strong hint.
>>
>>63582106

>Mad Men is redditcore

No Mad Men is paticiancore, which makes it above both /tv/ and Reddit.
>>
season 1 is one of my favorite things ever and season 2 is ok - good tier, it just isn't depressing anymore and i don't feel as much emotional resonance from it.

Not to mention the black characters aren't really likeable for me and I never felt sorry for them the way I did for Kevin, Jill, Chris and Nora. Black family definately lacked depth.

Also the season felt a bit derivative because there was that one episode where Matt had to race against time to achieve a goal and then at the end it was someone trying to save their daughter from the GR.

Best thing for me was the structure of season 2 though, I hated it when they did that with Lost season 2 but it worked really well here, mainly because I wasn't looking forward to what happens next, just what happened before.

I didn't really like episode 1 either but it was this huge setup for episode 2 where they link all the events together.

It's the best show currently airing, but there have been some seriously good shows in this decade. I'd give Mad Men some credit.

why do u say that??

Because HBO said so. Faggot.

And /sp/ is part of 4chan, yeah? Good talk, you fucking idiot.
>>
>>63583990
Lost was an attempt at a primetime soap. The point was to continue forever. The point where it was proven that wasn't going to happen was nikki and paulo. They tested so completely negatively it proved the show couldn't just rotate through characters, and most people were watching for the sci-fi, rather than the cheap character drama.

So, it is you, sir, and people who managed to continue liking lost after the finale, who don't understand lost.

/sp/ has not been a part of 4chan forever.

Nah, they're the same characters that were in lost. Kevin = jack, matt = locke, and the rest are just amorphous undefined blobs because lindelof can't write.
