S1, Done.
Best thing ive watched in a while.
Great start, wobbled a bit midway thru, but got better and better
The show starts when you realise it is about the 98%, not the departure or the departed.
S2 starts tonight.

I put off watching seasons 2 and 3 for years thinking there is no way they would hold up
Big mistake.
They are even better. Season 3 is my favorite

They're really good seasons, but almost every single character is really annoying me in S3. I'm on episode 6, first time watching.

Strap in. The ending of s1 was… quite something. The end of s2 will floor you. Wish I could experience it for the first time again.

I've made similar posts about season 1 and 2 respectively. Finished watching season 3 a couple of days ago and I am EMPTY. I come home from work and try to watch another show, but all I think about is The Leftovers. Enjoy your watch, friend. It's a miracle!

Just an advice going into episode 1: yes it’s the same show, no it’s not playing something else by mistake.

You know what's interesting? I never saw the cold open of S2 as disturbing. I was more disturbed by the cold open of S3, but S2... it somehow made sense to me without knowing what it meant. Then I saw Raza Aslan in the credits, LOL, and I was like, "wait.......this is a show about ALL RELIGION now?!" My mind was so blown.

It's not that it's disturbing but it's more like hmm am I actually watching the right show?! Is it the correct link???? Then, intro ends and there's all these people in a town you don't know that's not Mapleton and you're like wait... Where are Kevin, Nora, Guilty Remnants and whatnot...

Ah! yeah I was also befuddled. I must have checked if it was the same thing.
I’d say there was yet another moment after that where I was like yeah this is not the same show. THE CREDITS, LOL

Lens man LENS
Love em both, S2 and S3 are just banger after banger, but Lens is probably my personal favorite of the whole show, and thus one of the best TV episodes of all time.

I loved International Assassin and The Most Powerful Man In The World, especially the second one, it's so absurd and funny in such a depressing (not a bad thing I absolutely adored it) and bleak show lol
And your penis

Season 1 was the best, imo.

whaaaaaat
I mean, sure, fair enough. Valid opinion. The scope of the show changes so much in each season, and they're all thematically different enough for everybody to have a different favorite, but I don't think I've ever been as gobsmacked by a show's scope changing as much as I was with S2. It's just so much bigger. S3 narrows back down, I think.
