THE LEFTOVERS
HBO, 9:00 p.m. ET
SEASON PREMIERE: I stopped watching this series midway through Season 1, even though one of its episodes, a self-contained intense little drama, was impressive indeed. But I just didn’t get the point of what seemed to be all the intentional pointlessness. Advance reviews for Season 2, which resets the drama in a new location, a small town in Texas, are good, and even go so far as to say that even if you disliked last season, you should return to try this new one. (Remember that when you’re looking for promo slogans next year, True Detective.) I’m not so easily sold, or swayed, but I’ll try.
