Season two of the drama series ' Leftover' completes the daily struggle of people in a small town in New York, who do their best to survive, after the horrible disappearance of about 2% of population. Lauri and Tom do their best to save the lives of people.
The new season makes a start so fresh, it's almost a rebooting: new location, new characters, an occasional smile. The show remains uniquely interested in coping-or not-with tragedy, but flashes of something that looks like hope have entered the scene.
The second season of "The Leftovers" has opened a tantalizing enough door in its first three episodes that it's hard to turn back, but at the same time, no one can be blamed for having serious reservations about stepping through at all.
Season two of The Leftovers comes with the same shortcomings that had made the previous season just shy of being recommendable, including episodes that are purely filler and a reluctance to focus on the show's important story elements.
But the thing is, most of those dizzy moments - including the first episode's epic opening, which seems tethered to nothing else - are as entertaining as they are mystifying.
