The Leftovers Season 2 - TV RECAP

[@KD-jv7ez]

Ericka is a DOCTOR! Thank you very much.....

[@cindytartt4048]

Crikey it took me several years to find you so I could subscribe! Finally. ❤❤

[@ChrisHartwell]

Well, I'm glad you're finally here! Welcome and make yourself at home :D

[@ABDULRAHMAN-bh9hm]

Fantastic recap, wow, very well done. Been a while since I last watched season 2. Season 3 here I come!

[@ElBarbaNegra1]

Chris thank you so much for doing season 1 & 2 recaps they're so insightful. Keep up the great work

[@ChrisHartwell]

You are most welcome! Really glad that you've enjoyed them!

[@youngiaah142]

In conclusion : you know it's going to be a good show if the pixie's "where is my mind" starts playing

[@theresechristiansen9769]

Calling from Down Under & not metaphorically. Just slotted S3 into the DVD & realise it's been a year; searched for an intelligent recap of Season 2 & found yours. I'll echo those below. This is *truly* the best recap of this series and the best recap of *any* show I've seen. A complicated, poetic story of faux biblical proportions & a show which reaches deep into our mindsets and gut behavioural reactions. You really nailed the creative beats. Thank you so much !!

[@saifurrehmaan2637]

This is so helpful, too busy to rewatch the entire first two seasons again but before this vid almost didn't want to watch s3 premiere bc I didn't feel qualified ahaha, thanks man

[@ChrisHartwell]

Well, you are now _qualified_! :D

[@Sinkinson_]

Thanks Chris for this! Needed a reminder :D

[@ChrisHartwell]

That's what I'm here for :)

[@henrychinaski5938]

Thats how the GR recruits...

[@MontyDatta]

SO glad it's bakc and it's amazing we have shows like this, Fargo, Better Call Saul and THe Americans airing same time

[@Dolshansky]

This is exactly what I was waiting for. Thank you Chris! Thinking back to Episode 8 still astounds me. I love it when directors can simply explore their creative sides,

[@romitsen3405]

THIS IS THE BEST ELABORATE RECAP EVER DONE! THANKS A TON CHRIS!!

[@ChrisHartwell]

So glad that it worked for you!! Cheers!

[@truehearttrue]

Wow...Excellent review Chris! Thank you for catching me up! Now I can binge watch season 3.

[@mandatorybloghere]

Just started watching this thank you for the recaps. It helps me stop and sort out the what did I just watch feelings.

[@LaKahn]

great summary and presentation. well done, and thanks. never realised how dominant the teal and gold palette is in this season.

[@checkeredneiflag]

Thank you Chris! Great insight on such a complicated masterpiece

[@ChrisHartwell]

_Complicated masterpiece_... what an excellent description!

[@oldwestpokersupplies]

Fantastic recap. You helped me understand a number of things I wasn't sure I truly grasped before. Brilliant. subscribing now. Thanks.

[@nunopereiranunes7268]

Thanks so much for the recap! Really needed it before jumping to season 3! :)

[@EGstill85]

Well done brother! Plot was outlined in a linear, thoroughly detailed, yet concise manner. Character motivations explained perfectly in accordance with theme narratives. Forced to take an abrupt two year hiatus from being able to watch the show, your recap provided a sturdy bridge to resume at the third season with the same degree of anticipation I had just after finishing binge watching seasons 1 and 2. Thanks for the effort! Btw love how much of David Lynch’s influence is seen throughout the series; clearly no coincidence seeing as Justin Theroux leads the cast!

[@ChrisHartwell]

You are most welcome! _ENJOY_ the final season!!

[@JimmyRussle]

Dude, fantastic recap. Thanks!

[@HaddadCH]

Hey man, thanks for making this. This is exactly the kind of video I was looking for. Ready for season 3!

[@HMRdynamics]

Thank you so much for the recap. I just realized season three came out 2 months. Thx a ton1

[@evieearley7341]

Great review and explanation. It had been so long since season 2 that I had forgotten a lot of things that you reminded me of. This is such a great and unique show that I'm sad it will be over soon. But thank you for posting this 😊

[@kalejarmar3187]

great recap , with pertienent analysis in a not - too-long video good job

[@Sparky82]

Thank you so much. Was starting season 3 and forgot what happened in season 2 so tihs has been very helpful.

[@thejustinconnell]

What an absolutely fantastic recap video! Thank you!

[@shadowoc91]

Thanks for making this man! Got me back up to speed on some details that I had forgotten.

[@caseybrannon9771]

Well done! Thanks that was just what I needed and then some.

[@ChrisHartwell]

Glad people are still enjoying this!

[@Spartan_1_17]

*GREAT* recap Chris. The way you bind the whole season is a great way to refresh the memories. Can't wait for the second episode of season 3, and your review.

[@ChrisHartwell]

Though they're an exorbitant amount of work, doing recaps for a show I love so much, really _is_ a lot of fun!

[@Spartan_1_17]

So...Game of Thrones next!? :p

[@ChrisHartwell]

Gosh, I don't know! I really do like _GoT_, but didn't find that my reviews got all that great of a response last year.

[@Spartan_1_17]

Well, I was kidding, in a sense that since they take up so much time, doing a recap for SIX seasons of GOT would be annoying. :p But your channel has gotten bigger than what it was last year during GOT's time, so you'll definitely get a better response now, especially considering the hype surrounding season 7. I dunno, maybe do a recap of a single season and see how it goes. If it gets a good response, do more. :)

[@ChrisHartwell]

An excellent and insightful suggestion! I'll definitely ponder it now!

[@dognerddaily3675]

Outstanding job, thanks so much.

[@davidbruce482]

Just like the season 1 video this recap was astonishingly insightful and very well done.

[@crieverytim]

Meg doesnt go on a pilgrimage after her mother dies. Its 3? years later. Her mother died the day before the Departure.

[@crieverytim]

"And then Kevin becomes an international television"

[@Woto4]

Thank you great work! It helped a lot.

[@tommymcfwhitty734]

This was brilliantly explained, thank you. I love this show so much, but don't have the time to rewatch the whole second season. Will get stuck into the 3rd now!

[@hilohi5]

good job man. definitely wish you the best for everything

[@brikster00]

Well done. Thank you for doing this.

[@nataliegb9140]

So helpful! thank you

[@Schizm1]

Thx for the great recap!

[@pandabearmadness6263]

This was really good video thank you.

[@thepistonsfan]

Perfection. This is exactly what I needed. Definitely subbing!

[@myprettygirl91]

awesome, thanks for this! Ready for season 3 :)))

[@ChrisHartwell]

So glad that it helped! Enjoy the final season... it's CRAZY!

[@TheAtl198]

I realize that this was written years ago but this detail drives me absolutely nuts. Erika is a DOCTOR, not a nurse. If she was a man, no one would mistake her for a nurse. (I'm a male nurse, so I know what I'm talking about)! 😂

[@msessieh]

Great recap!

[@koko4kosh960]

Thank you so much, Do you get any sleep between the time the show ends on Sunday and uploading your video Tuesday?

[@ChrisHartwell]

Bahaha! A couple hours ;)

[@crieverytim]

Patti was super helpful. She only gave him good advice that he needed. I'd have kept her around

[@crieverytim]

Such a brilliant season of television

[@yourstrulyfrancois3475]

Where are those better call saul videos at???

[@ChrisHartwell]

Too many good shows, too little time 😞

[@ThereIsNoLord]

I feel the idea that the Palm Reader in fact was magic (he couldn't have known about the walnuts in Meg's mom's salad otherwise) was glossed over. Magic still isn't a banality in this world, so I don't understand the point of making the Palm Reader unambiguously able to have magic knowledge.

[@gK-ih2ct]

Well done Chris

[@curranissimo]

I watched all of seasons 1 and 2 about a year and a half ago in only 4 days so I forgot a lot of what happened and kept hesitating to start season 3. Thanks for the in depth recap, now I can start season 3

[@sarmadmansoor1642]

Thanks !

[@Clayolives]

This was so good.

[@1978smt]

Great recap, thanks Please just put your hands down though

[@DimBeam1]

Nice one Chris

[@ChrisHartwell]

Glad it worked for ya!

[@DimBeam1]

And now onto the single episode reviews for season 3. I'll be looking forward to them as much as I do the first coffee of the day. (Extremely).

[@Skadoosh-pe9gx]

Have you been watching the third season of better call Saul?

[@ChrisHartwell]

Of course! So good!

[@Acme633]

Why did Virgil want to kill Kevin? He promised Kevin that his death will only be temporary, but after Kevin took the drink he discarded the syringe that was supposed to revive Kevin later and then shot himself.

[@spiralations7304]

You didn't finish the episode

[@moloneybaloney]

Nice one fella!

[@Dootje351]

Will you watch Maniac? Iill bet youd like it if you're into the leftovers

[@ChrisHartwell]

Now _that_ is a recommendation! Certainly intrigued.

[@Dootje351]

Patrick Somerville wrote it. He wrote some episodes of The Leftovers, if you watch it you can definitely see some similarities. If you like it can you please make a vid of it? I would love to hear your take on it!

[@ChrisHartwell]

Love it! Will do. Thank you for recommending!

[@thprfssnl1]

"mortally wounded" doesn't mean what you think it means

[@FallenAngelMMA]

Thanks !!!!

[@DaBeatSpecialist]

thanks!

[@stephenrichardson6890]

You said Erica is a nurse, she is a Dr. Minor detail, I know.

[@37goodvibes]

awesome!!!

[@ChrisHartwell]

huzzah!

[@NizarNoor]

Justin Theroux is extremely good looking, it's insane. Unreal.

[@PolAndDazShow]

I watched season 1 , I enjoyed wasn't blown away but enjoyed. I came on here to see if someone can convince me season 2 is worth watching ?

[@ChrisHartwell]

I really _do_ think it's worth it... it both expands and focuses what the first season dealt with... and does so with a slightly lighter tone.

[@JeffreyLeeBlake]

Reperate? Do you mean repair?

[@cindytartt4048]

Reparation.

[@franciscoortiz6980]

Thanks for the recaps. I missed episodes here and there you filled them in. I think i am done with this show... it is starting to smell like lost. Too many tangents that only spin the story nore out control. Add to that slow pace of some episodes.

[@Liroporto]

Hi first

[@arveyilleszender5809]

Nora leaving Kevin made zero sense whatsoever. Very very poor writing.

[@angadsingh9314]

I agree.

[@cindytartt4048]

Not at all. She’s imperfect & scared for Lily -the fact he could threaten the child. She’s lost 3 people and knows 3 girls have disappeared. Kevin isn’t a balanced person either.

[@mickydee896]

I completely agree with this, however it’s the only notable thing I didn’t feel made sense.

[@lukasbf10]

Thanks!
