The Leftovers - Season 2, Episode 5: No Room at the Inn
Trailer
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.
Matt's a man who won't shut up, who won't back down, who isn't just fighting for a better future for his family but a better present, too. He's not afraid to look crazy, he's willing to suffer. He's willing to work. If he's crazy, we should all be.
One of England's best character actors, [Christopher Eccleston] is perfect throughout, bringing to life that strange alien-like presence that so many men raised in strict religious households carry with them.
Thanks to impeccably crafted character development leading to dramatic and meaningful conflict, "No Room at the Inn" proved to be one of the series' best episodes to date.
When was the last time you were awestruck by an hour of television?... That's how I felt after watching The Leftovers Season 2 Episode 5, which was simply one of the most powerful hours of dramatic entertainment offered in a long time.
Even more than "Two Boats," "No Room at the Inn" was a fascinating, unsettling look at blurry how the line can grow between religious belief and madness.
This episode still was able to take Matt's new Miracle/Jarden situation and turn it into something uniquely awful - while also being sadly sweet and beautiful.
Matt really wants to believe that the world is good... He believes so firmly that he'll find redemption that I always find myself wanting to believe he will, too. Somehow.
