Pilot Season: The Watchers Watch The Leftovers
Manage episode 424425453 series 3457946
This week on The Watchers’ Pilot Season, Jodie and Andrea review The Leftovers, HBO’s 2014 drama based on Tom Perotta’s novel of the same name. We get into how we might respond to losing two percent of the world’s population in an instant, how this show has more in common with our previous shows than we’d expected, whether all dogs are truly good dogs, and if a certain deer has a grudge against Justin Theroux. Plus, we manage to weave in more Jersey talk than you might expect in an episode focused on "upstate" (to us) New York. But then again, if you’ve been tuning in for a while now, that’s probably not so surprising after all.
Pilot season is technically over here at The Watchers. Next week, we’re recapping seasons one and two of The Bear, Christopher Storer’s love letter to Chicago and family dysfunction. We’ll be covering season three after that, so if you’ve never watched The Bear, now’s the time.
