Trae Young will be a bust. Book It!

Because of the Rapture-esque nature of the plot, and the constant allusions to the Bible, The Leftovers has wrongly been called a “religious” show. But it’s decidedly, frustratingly agnostic. It doesn’t claim to have the answers. It merely shows how real people might wrestle with extraordinary, inexplicable things. It’s a show about religion, how people come to believe what they believe, and why they continue to do so despite all available evidence leading them in another direction.

That idea is the through line of the show’s final season, which follows the tormented police chief Kevin Garvey as he attempts to reconcile the fact that, apparently, he cannot die. Some of those around him think he’s literally the second coming of Jesus Christ. Others think he’s recovering from a psychotic episode. He’s not sure what to believe, but the show finds a clever way to get him—and those he loves—to Australia, where he may find the answers he seeks.

As the final season begins, the world is just two weeks away from the seventh anniversary of “The Sudden Departure,” when 140 million people inexplicably vanished into thin air. The show crackles with the anxious energy of something big about to happen—perhaps another departure, perhaps the return of those lost, perhaps the world ending for good this time. Or, again, maybe it’ll be nothing.

If you hate Laurence, then don't listen - don't comment. When he co-hosts the B&B show, take that day off ... listen to an old podcast of a Bernstein solo show and jerk off all day.

I've got to get thru The Wire first but this sounds like it should be next on the HBO list.

For instance they were never taught that Columbus was a slave owner.

The first season was terrible. I didn't give the second season a chance.

That's a shame. You're missing out on a great show.

Did you think the first season was bad?

I think someone may have mentioned the second season was a lot better. If it's more of the same then I'll pass.

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

The second season of this show was phenomenal after what I thought was an average first season. I'm really looking forward to the final season.

I also am going to miss this cast.

What a great episode. Confirmation that this is still the best show on TV. Can't wait to see what happened with Nora/Sarah.

What other show in the history of television could spend the first five minutes on characters you've never seen, with no dialogue and have it still be powerful, meaningful, emotional and fit right into the story?

Yeah, I watched that opening four times.

The music on this show is very underrated. I had never heard of that I Wish We'd All Been Ready song before but it's hard to think of a better choice there.

Yes the musical selections have been great. I think it was in a Sepinwall review that said it's like Lindelof and Perotta told someone in the 70s that one day they were gonna make great TV show and had them write songs just for this show.
