The South Korean nuclear crisis has major ramification for the world, but as usual, The Leftovers takes the global crisis and localizes it to these characters. Go to Full Review Sophie Gilbert The Atlantic 05/15/2017
This was, I think, my favorite episode of the third series so far, from the bravura opening sequence on the French nuclear submarine to the lion orgy to the final confrontation between Matt and a man calling himself God. Go to Full Review Shabnaj Chowdhury Tell-Tale TV 06/15/2018
3.5/5
