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.
What a wonderful premiere. Yes, a reset button has been pushed, and the end result is The Leftovers Season 2 Episode 1 delivered one of its best hours. It's fresh, mysterious and full of possibilities, with a decidedly wicked edge.
[The firmer grasp on plot] still doesn't make The Leftovers a great show, but it makes it a great social exercise. This was a premiere I was glad i watched, but I never, ever want to watch it again. Ever.
So what does it all mean? I don't know yet, and that's what makes this moment, with the rest of The Leftovers second season still ahead of us, so delicious.
Before sending viewers to the new home base in Texas, "Axis Mundi" turned back the clock, Kubrick style, to the days of early man...the perfect metaphorical bridge between seasons 1 and 2.
