    Masterpiece

    For several years now, I have on many occasions thought back on this unique and fabulous episode starring Scott Glenn.

    I struggle to find the right words to describe how much I appreciate this story, but I want to thank the writers for taking me on a philosophical journey that challenges me to reflect. Which makes me think about what matters in this life, the existential questions.

    This is an art that very few other shows manage to achieve, but which The Leftovers repeatedly manage to master. Kevin Garvey Sr. has always been one of my favorite characters, a complex figure with a lot of will to solve the unexplained events. If you are a fan of strong, character-driven stories with good dialogue, cinematography and quality writing, this is the episode for you.

    The wrong Kevin

    This show is gettinf weirder with each and every episode and I LOVE it. I hope that it all makes sense in the end though.

    I can never get these hours back.

    That may have been the single worst hour of TV I've ever seen. I don't know how I've made it this far. I'll probably finish it, but those raving about this being a great show should really lay off the drugs.

    Garbage

    Utter guff. Can't believe anyone is lapping this rubbish up. First two seasons were good in terms of being able to provide intrigue and curiosity but now it's getting into the realms of stupidity. Shame as it showed promise early on. A disappointing way to end my viewing of this series but definitely not worth any more of my time. Similar to when Lost was around, I expected that there would be no real answers in the end. But that doesn't mean you can turn the whole thing into a joke.

    • Trivia
      The producers had hoped to build Grace's ranch at Hanging Rock, the location most famous for the disappearance of several girls in the novel Picnic at Hanging Rock and Peter Weir's 1975 film adaptation, which was a major influence on season 2 of The Leftovers. The cost ended up being prohibitive, and the house was instead built in You Yangs Regional Park. The house was completely removed after production ended, per the park's rules.

      The VW Beetle explodes as soon as the trail of fire reaches the front bumper/hood. The engine and all combustible parts are in the rear of the vehicle, so it would not have exploded as quickly.
    • Quotes

      Kevin Garvey, Sr.: This guy, this hippie with a red headband, walks right up to me and says, "Do you wanna talk to God?" So I said, "Fuck, yeah, I wanna talk to God." And he said, "Then you've gotta talk in God's tongue, mate." God's tongue, it turns out, is an experimental, high-end hallucinogen this guy brews in his basement. And I wake up two weeks later in a hotel room in Perth on the opposite fucking coast.
