Guest

This episode is when I really started to love The Leftovers. Carrie Coon is so so good in it. I must have watched the scene with the hug over 20 times. Story, acting is top notch as usual! This episode is mainly a spotlight on Nora.

To the fantastic Carrie Coon.

The Leftovers was a groundbreaking series, with wonderful production and writing. All of the actors were great, but Carrie Coon was the absolute standout. It's always wonderful to see an actors breakout performance, especially in a series as superb as this one. She is so subtle and casual in her delivery, with not an ounce of over acting, and yet she is still utterly intense. Carrie made a good season 1 great, and she continued to elevate later seasons.

Guest is essentially a bottle episode. Many bottle episodes, in most series, are unnecessary, not this one. The show has been so unbelievable tragic, so oppressive in its mood, this episode brings some levity and hope. Guest was absolutely needed in the narrative. Near flawless episode.

Wow, this was an amazing episode. This, and the Two Boats and a Helicopter are absolutely brilliant. The rest of the episodes were entertaining, but unremarkable. This reminds me of Lost, another Lindelof show because some episodes have almost no plot progression while other episodes like this blow you away. My favorite scene is when the black man hugs the woman because the scene was so beautiful and Carrie Coon and Paterson Joseph are both beautiful too they should get together in a hotel room. Justin Theroux is very difficult to watch because you know that his eyebrows are shaped and I'm saying this as a straight black man but it is very unnerving. Somebody should tell him that he should ease up on the plucking.
