Has anyone else managed to suffer through four episodes of this low-budget soap-opera waiting for something to happen?
This so-called "series" is a time-wasting bore the obvious purpose of which is to plug the one hour hole in HBO's Sunday night obligation. This low-budget exercise in anticlimactic monotony is an insult to the memory of such recent classics as The Sopranos, The Wire, Rome, Breaking Bad, Deadwood, Band of Brothers, Ray Donovan, Selfridge, Masters of Sex, Lonesome Dove, Game of Thrones, and more.
What is even more offensive are some of the critics reviews of this weekly hour-long study in disappointing nothingness. With few exceptions most of it is nothing more than pseudo-intellectual attempts to assign some redeeming substance to what actually is a rip-off of HBO subscribers and nothing more.
The Leftovers is a weekly dump. A series of hour-long disappointments.
Unless HBO comes up with something worthwhile, and soon, I intend to cancel my subscription.
