Discuss The Leftovers

When I first started watching the show I liked the characters because they were weird but likeable. I do not care for any of the characters with the exception of perhaps Margaret. I can't believe that Kevin and his cronies are taking advantage of people who are grieving. I don't care for anyone and I hope that changes. At this point I am pulling for Liv Tyler and her crew. I'm not sure if the director wanted the characters to become unlikeable but that's what happened and I'm not sure how much I'm going to enjoy watching them this season. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the show and I thought the first episode was very good, but I'm not liking anyone at this point.

Hi Invidia, I do agree with you. I don't like Liv Tyler's character and I can't believe that Evie put her parents through such turmoil. I guess what I was getting at is the fact that Kevin's ex wife, and his current wife, Nora, are unlikeable now, and Kevin is unlikeable. I can't think of the black guy's name that shot Kevin, but he was always unlikeable. I thought his wife was great, and I liked her a lot, and I also like their son, but I don't like the majority of the characters. I feel bad for the pastor because he's so paralyzed by fear that he can't let his wife be free. I think that living in fear is the worst way to live, and that's what these characters are doing because of the departure. I was a big fan of the first season and that's why I continued to watch the show. I didn't really care for last season, but it looks like this season is going to be pretty exciting.

Really...?

  1. Who are these 'cronies'?

  2. How is "Kevin and his cronies taking advantage of people who are grieving"?

Kevin knows what JOHN and LAURIE were doing and how they let people assume JOHN can read PALMS when he can't and what he's doing is having LAURIE look up stuff about people on the internet and then she tells John what to say to them.

So John and his former wife would be the cronies.

And KEVIN for letting them get away with the way they SCAM people who are grieving.

But since JOHN shreds the money he was paid are we to assume that make's it ok?

The guy who pay him was still CHEATED out of his money unless you want to assume he got FREE advice from a SHRINK?

But since he also PAID money for it, and even though it got shredded, he still paid for a service he wasn't getting. Because John can't read PALMS.

Thanks.

But, I'd like to hear what the OP has to say.

You do realize MEG and EVIE are dead now don't you? So pulling for MEG and EVIE who are DEAD doesn't work when they're gone.

rofl rofl rofl

And that also means EVIE was a FOOL to ever let MEG trick her into being her PUPPET.

Exactly and I am so glad she's gone.

So it's also a bit of a mystery why you'd still want to ROOT for them after all of the EVIL things they've done?

Sometimes I may root for a villain- but , yes they must still be alive LOL .

MEG was a NUT JOB just like PATTI.

This.

And both LAURIE and EVIE were FOOLS for ever letting them turn them into their PUPPETS.

...and this.

Kevin is totally likable, we just don't know all of the reasons for all of the things he does...yet.
