"International Assassin" has ripped open a hole in The Leftovers. A pathway, might be a better word. It put its cards on the table and made a dozen decisions about the type of story that is being told. Kevin will be forever changed. Go to Full Review Alan Sepinwall HitFix 11/23/2015
Just as gripping, and powerful, and strange, as the rest of this season. Go to Full Review Kelly Braffet New York Magazine/Vulture 11/23/2015
5/5

10/10
