If the season two premiere confused fans of The Leftovers, the second episode should be seen as very satisfying. Go to Full Review Kelly Braffet New York Magazine/Vulture 10/12/2015
5/5
I think that's really the takeaway from this episode. Nobody's okay. Should be a fun season. Go to Full Review Alan Sepinwall HitFix 10/12/2015
"A Matter of Geography" manages to have the intensity of last season's best episodes without feeling quite like a wallow in the way those were.. the series has found ways to still be about grief and madness without being consumed by them. Go to Full Review Kevin Yeoman Screen Rant 10/12/2015
That might be what's so interesting about the second episode: it offers a peek behind the curtain that was put up last week. Go to Full Review Matt Fowler IGN Movies 10/12/2015
