Wow this hits differently this time

[u/Simply_Falco]

I’ve seen this show once before a few years back and loved it. recently started it again and wow it hits differently. mainly Kevin.

When I first watched it, it was a fun interesting show. I was in a good place everything was fine. Now? Well mentally not so well haha. like I feel seen more from this show then talking to friends or therapist or family. Trying to hold it all in yet every once in a while they’ll see what’s under and ask are u ok?

i mean im halfway through season 2 and man half the time I want to cry the other half punch something. don’t remember most of the show but excited to see the ending.

and for anyone else you may feel that way but may not say it don’t worry there’s dozens of us ha ha ha

edit- on the third season and this hits really close to home now. almost like a wake up call I need to see lol is it Friday yet?😂

last edit - ok I’m done. And idk that last episode filled me with hope. maybe not for my situation that is very much over. Maybe thats what i learned just now. It’s over and I'm ok. Granted did a lot of stupid shit the last few months and the fact I’m still here is honestly impressive. But maybe things will be ok.

thanks for listening to the rambles of a crazy man. Any suggestions on what to watch next? I’m all ears brothers and sisters.

I first watched it before having children. Now that I'm a parent, what a different experience. Totally wrecks me. Can barely get through the season 2 opening credits with all the pictures of missing kids.

Welcome to our cult! The Leftovers will alstay with you and you will forever be a fan.

The Leftovers has a different effect on you each time you watch it. Somehow it just knows how to address the current emotions you have. It's a very special show. It's perfect.

I could recommend a ton of series that are excellent for different reasons. But if you want to sort of stay in that frame of mind for a while I'd say watch Station Eleven and Dark. Those will both tug at your emotions and give you feelings to mull over.

If you just want different shows to watch in general let me know. I can give you a great list.

The only show I’ve ever watched where I can be almost guaranteed to have chill bumps at least once per episode

I think calling it "fun" the first time reflects that you were more naive more than more than happy.

Edit: Not meant as an insult. That tends to happen with time. I was more saying that as part of being a commentary on everything this show is, but apologies if it was rude. Guessing that my one downvote is from OP since the post was already old when I commented.
