HBO, 10:00 p.m. ET

 

SEASON FINALE: Although I still can’t recommend this series enthusiastically, I continue to watch it. The individual one-hour parts may be better than the whole, but they contain enough strong performances, and intriguing moments, to keep me watching.

The entire first season was amazing, and based on the original novel. 2nd season could be a train wreck as its all new material written for the TV series. I don't expect the Departure to ever be explained, and any explanation would like disappoint. I'm in to see how the Leftover move through their 5 stages of loss and come to a place of acceptance.
