The Leftovers Season 1 Episode 4: B.J. and the A.C.

5 second plot: The chief can not catch a break. He can't reach his son, his wife wants to divorce him, his daughter doesn't like him very much, the mayor is always bustin' his chops and baby Jesus is stolen from his crib. His son is still trying to protect the golden child. He runs into some crazy shit.

5 second review: These white fucks need to stop harassing people, because they are getting on my nerves. There are some mildly interesting things going on (the pile up of dead bodies for instance) but ... yawn... this is getting boring really quickly. There's too much interesting stuff on TV to be wasting my time with this.

The Leftovers Season 1 Episode 3: Two Boats and a Helicopter

5 second plot: The entire episode is dedicated to a moment in the life of the good reverend. First he gets his butt kicked by someone who’s not happy with his flyers. Then he’s about to lose his church due to money problems. Then all his problems are solved thanks to a little help from above. And what happens next, you simply have to see for yourself.

5 second review: It’s a pretty boring episode with a pretty cool conclusion. So I really don’t know what to think of it. Aside from the fact that it’s very weird.

IMDb score: 9/10

The Leftovers Season 1 Episode 2: Penguin One, Us Zero

5 second plot: The big town cops pay a visit to the new Messiah. And shoot on sight. The small town cop thinks he's losing his shit just like his dad. His son saves the Messiah's number one girl. But he had to kill someone in order to do that. Liv Tyler is not getting settled in very cozy with the white smokers. And something dangerous is up with the woman that lost everyone. And the cop's daughter is on to her.

5 second review: We're still not getting a lot of answers. On the contrary, they add a couple more mysteries to the big pile of mysteries that was already there. I hope 'the makers of Lost' don't fuck the ending up the way they did last time. How awful is that? I'm already scared of it and it's only the second episode.

The Leftovers Season 1 Episode 1: Pilot

5 second plot: Three years ago two percent of the earth's population vanished without a trace. This episode centers around a cop in a small town who doesn't seem to have lost anyone but still has a lot of trouble figuring everything out. His wife is in some strange cult, his son is doing something we don't know yet and his daughter feels the weight of the world on her shoulders. All the dogs that witnessed a disappearance went nuts. Oh, and J-Lo is also gone. And the Pope. And Gary Busey.

5 second review: We're left with more questions than we're getting answers. It's a little bit of that 'Lost-feeling' I must say. On top of the mystery it's quite dark and depressing.
