Reply to comment by jogoso2014 in The Leftovers, season 2, episode 8, is the weirdest hour of television I have EVER watched. That is all. by TimeTraveler3056

It is International Assassin, and I'm right there with you. In a vacuum, it's probably my favorite episode of TV. It's so damn emotional, creative, brilliantly paced, and makes you care about characters that have only existed in the space of that episode.

I'd kill to experience The Leftovers for the first time again. IYKYK.

Totally agree. Have never felt the emotions I felt from that episode, from visual media before. It was like a poem. I fucking love that show.

I remember this episode being one of the first times I caught myself standing up as the episode unfolded due to the emotional response it evoked in me.

I've seen bots and pieces as my wife was watching it when it came out but I never finished it because she watched a bunch without me and I couldn't be bothered to try and catch up. Worth a watch? I don't remember anything about it other than the basic premise
