My 6 Must Watch Summer TV Shows


The Leftovers

What’s It About?
The Rapture has arrived and the heathens that are “left behind” have top deal with a world in chaos and the loss of their loved ones. The show focuses on a small town sheriff in a New York suburb who tries to maintain order in his town despite the new normal he finds himself living in.

Is Anyone I Know In It?
Justin Theroux (Joe, SIX FEET UNDER), Liv Tyler (Arwen, THE LORD OF THE RINGS), Amy Brenneman (Janice Licalsi, NYPD BLUE), Christopher Eccleston (The Doctor, DOCTOR WHO)

Why Should I Watch It?
THE LEFTOVERS is Damon Lindelof’s return to TV and despite a lot of griping over the ending of LOST and the disappointment that was PROMETHEUS I still consider Lindelof to be a talented guy who tends to make stuff that falls squarely into my entertainment wheelhouse. Add in the post-apocalyptic/quasi-religious stuff along with a great cast and the underrated directing of Peter Berg and I am optimistic that this show will be another one of HBO’s big hits.

Where Can I See It?
You can catch THE LEFTOVERS on HBO every Sunday @ 10pm starting on June 29th.

  1. Thanks for sharing Derek. I quite like the way The Bridge looks. I’ll have to tune in for that. Possibly Hemlock Grove, too.

      1. Lol! Hadn’t thought about that (as in brain assumed that was not even a possibility), but you are right. As an actor he seems to be quite funny and nice but I still look at that face and feel the hate begin to boil up lol πŸ™‚
