It's not underrated, just not popular. HBO guilt, I guess. Very poor ad campaign. Also many people didn't like 1 season, cuz its may seem a little boring. I was bought immidiately.
underrated?its rating are fine and the show itself is just a bunch of bullshit with no explanation and mediocre acting and writing,people like you hype it up only because its surreal and think its genius for some reason
Key to properly feel this show is thinking about it in the context of psychology. It's not fantasy, it's not surreal. Psychology(and sociology) is the key.
@@andregordon2599 Sorry to comment a year later lol but another moment like that I love is in the Most Powerful Man in the World (etc) episode, as he faces his double and says "We fucked up with Nora" and her face appears for a moment, smiling.
I'm gonna comment 3 years later lol , this technique is used multiple times by the great Jean-marc vallee in his tv shows big little lies and sharp objects. He calls the " thought cut" and it's really affective if used in special moments,I'm really surprised why isn't used more often in the industry
This scene uppercuts you right in the feels cause of how Kevin started out singing it like any unskilled amateur karaoke singer. Then he eventually gets really into it and you can just feel how much he really wants to go back.
He might still be up for it, for this season at least since season 2 aired in October when Emmy ballots were already made. Hopefully he or Matthew Rhys can finally get notice for great acting.
When he pusher kid Patti into the well and when he gets inside and sees older Patti and she explains to him how she could have avoided the terrible life she lived but decided not to. Ann Dowd and Justin Theroux are my picks for Best Lead and Best Supporting Actress. International Assassin is one of the greatest episodes of TV.
Justin Theroux's work on this show was so underrated. He played an incredibly complex character perfectly and actually enhanced it and made him easy to root for even when he's going through and doing insane stuff like this. Holding back tears while singing, choking up in the final stanza, what a perfomance! And not a single Emmy nomination 😒
The show does something pretty amazing. It appears at first to be science fiction or maybe a mystery but it’s nothing of that kind. It’s really about who we are and what we want from our lives. Perhaps that’s the greatest mystery.
I think the key element of the show is the search for purpose. Notice that everyone keeps telling Kevin that he "understands", yet he seems confused by what they mean. I think what he understands is the need for purpose. That's why, despite getting upset at Matt's new testament and proclaiming him some sort of savior, he agrees to die and carry out all of their requests. He's helping to fulfill their need for purpose and at the same time giving himself one. While dead, he sees the indigenous leader Christopher Sunday who is supposed to teach him the dance for his father, but Sunday simply asks whether he believes the dance will really stop the end of the world, to which Kevin replies no. He comes to a realization that all the people in his life are fighting grief, and purpose is their weapon. This is also why he doesn't question Nora when she explains where she went in the finally, as it's not what happened that's important, but how it made her feel.
Tyler Forget That’s good stuff. For Kevin his purpose centers around family. Sort of. His story is all bout his guilt for not recognizing that family and loving relationships were his true purpose. His way to happiness. But as Tony Soprano mused, we’re our own worst enemies. Member when Kevin Sr told him to stop being an asshole?
The Leftovers is the best TV show that none of my friends, family, or coworkers have ever seen, which is kind of sad because, to me, this is the greatest three seasons of television I have ever experienced. No other show has affected me quite like this one, and this scene is one that frequently sticks out and reminds me of how I felt watching it.
He’s such a fabulous actor. And The Leftovers, “everything “ about the show was mysteriously moving and magically gorgeous. And of course, the Max Richter wrote the score and he’s always in all ways wonderful. Beyond talented! Geniuses put that show together. Loved EVERYTHING about it. I was sad that it was only 3 seasons.
Thank you for posting this. This scene has been stuck in my head since I saw it. Don't know what it is about it, but I love it. Might, to me, be the best scene in what's been a fantastic show.
Definitely the best scene in the entire series. It brings us all back home in a sense to remember what Kevin truly wants - just the return to normalcy and the return home where he once felt safe. I think the end of season 2 showed us he got a taste of it but season 3 will finally wrap up whether he fully gets it or not. Such an amazing scene from an incredible, underrated show. In my opinion, the best series ever made in television. You can disagree and I wouldn't blame you but there's no other show out there that pulls on your heart the way the leftovers does.
+YorDjaul Never seen lost and probably never will. I don't watch big network shows. But yeah I'll wait for season 3 to see if my opinion still holds up but like I said, wouldn't blame anyone disagreeing with it being the best series ever. I know that's a bit of a stretch and reflects just how obsessed I am with the series haha. Gotta agree with me though that there's no show out there that makes you feel for the characters pain as much as the leftovers
This is the most underappreciated TV show of all time. I mean, yeah, the critical acclaim is speaking for itself but I wish it received more public awareness
Just watched the series finale and now I'm going through all the greatest moments of the show. This is up there with the season 2 final scene for me. Man...this show is amazing.
His voice is quite mediocre while singing, but the emotion he brings to it, his story and what's he been through, and the whole background story makes this outstanding performance&scene. By far the best scene in the series
agreed. remember that scene where his dad is getting the award? his life is almost perfect but he doesn't see it. he wants more, this can't be it (life), he was having a midlife crisis. that was his personal test. to learn to appreciate how lucky he was and to be grateful. this is the moment he realized this. and this is why he wakes up and there's an earthquake and he gets to go home. he will always appreciate his family
@@augusto_mm Yes indeed it was the best part, having someone perform this flawlessly like a musical would just simply ruin it..sometimes imperfection is, perfection
Goddamn this show had me in tears so many times. This scene is so brilliant and emotional. The final cut to Nora's face just broke me. "We fucked up with Nora". Masterpiece.
Every time I see the show I say "whow" to myself. The greatness and emotion of this moment is all in this extraordinary desire to resist of a man to "return" and cling to life. With all his strength, with every little frame that can give him hope to resist. Every single face, thought of love and affection for his family are a small brick. Unforgettable scene. Light and immense in intensity at the same time. How great Justin Theroux is.I love it.
+Thomas N Ferreira I just hope it doesn't go off the tracks like LOST did.... Lost was so amazing and had me literally addicted and mesmerized, then suddenly it just started getting too ridiculous for me. I hope they can keep this formula going...the mystery keeps us wanting more.
Lindelof learned a thing or two with LOST. rs But, for the record, LOST may have its mistakes, but I still think the show was above average, and I liked the finale.
Agreed. I felt like I was lucky to have not seen one episode of LOST until like 2 years ago... I started it on Netflix and literally binge watched the whole series in less than 3 weeks... I couldn't stop watching it. I know people love it for the "feels" that it gives, but I just loved the setting, character development, and constant mystery and mindfuck that it kept the viewers in. I love feels too, like this scene(incredible) but I'm more of a mystery suspense type person. I like the dark side of things. Leftovers has that exact same feel. Both are GOLD.
this whole show was the highlight of the ending of my childhood. great way to start off adulthood. this show is completely overlooked, and needs to be mentioned more.
Just binge-watched this entire show over the last few weeks. It's an absolute force of nature; mysterious and unwieldy and beautiful. Too many fantastic scenes to name, but this one in particular was staggering. Justin Theroux knocked it out of the park.
Notice when he sings the line about "play the game and pretend" he flashes back to Season 1 with his pre-Departure family. That episode, his dad commented to him about how Kevin was feigning how good things were. One of many good shout outs to Season 1. Also, when finally reaches home, his love (family) has indeed been waiting silently for him.
it's his journey coming full circle. he didn't appreciate what he had, he was (like all people) sick with greed. he needed to see what it was like to lose it all to realize how good it really was.
I remember watching this for the first time, i cried my eyes out, and now after couple of years it's still the same, though I don't really remember everything happened to Kevin, the actor's performance is making me cry, that's how good he is
I periodically return to this scene, this show, much like how Kevin periodically returns to the Hotel. A place of repose, reconciliation, reflection; a source of meaning. Perhaps it's equally as unhealthy a habit as Kevin's, and following his lead perhaps I should metaphorically sever my ties to this place. At what cost to my waking life do I indulge in this show's beauty?
And all the awards went to GOT. They can't act half as good as him. He can't really sing but emotions are pure in his singing. He meant every single word while singing. And Nora's face came ❤️
What really enhances this whole thing is that Justin was genuinely terrified to do this, he hated every second of it. I think it actually enhances his already incredible performance
Thanks for posting. Such a powerful scene - such an amazing series. Here is to hoping we see a season 3! Not enough shows on anymore that challenge the viewer.
soooo powerful it really touched me and I can't quite figure out why I'm not the sort of person the expresses his feelings but this hit me hard. I adore the show and really hope we get another season not just for great viewing pleasure but in hope that so many clearerly highly talented actors and actresses get well deserved recognition
The Leftovers is the most emotionally powerful show I've ever seen. I can't wait for it to come back, and it deserves way more than just three seasons.
This scene just floored me. There I was thinking this couldn't get any better, that we'd already reached utopia. And then Kevin starts to sing... I've just read that the first song choice they tried for when conceiving the scene was 'Like a prayer' by Madonna (that is nicely placed in the background). Well, I'd like to thank whatever force out there made this not happen. This show is a Miracle.
When I watch scenes like these I wonder wether they write these parts to fit the song or is it the other way around. How do you even find a song that perfectly captures the essence of a character?
Seriously. This show is amazing in this second season. It's a shame so many people left after the first. This scene wants me to give Justin all the Emmys but then again this finale makes me say that about most of the leads. Trying to be spoiler free...John in the kennel with Kevin? Or at the breakfast table with erika? Or his slow mo' run?? Cmon. Preacher Matt basically anytime he's on screen? Erika running on the bridge? I know fargo is the splashier show right now. And I love it too. But leftovers isn't about splash. Hell it's not even about answers to cause and effect like fargo is. It's not about a+b lead to c. I love that it's about how it feels when things happen. Hard to capture so many emotions and this season does it wonderfully. And this scene? Anyone watching this vid without knowing the show might say "yeah that was kinda emotional" but to those that follow, seeing this for the first time my jaw was on the floor. Not just the performance but the fact the balls this show has to even put this scene on. Like I said trying to be spoiler free. If you're a followers you know how bonkers it was. So amazing.
sad this go no Emmy love at all even after this and the superb third season, it was so overlooked by mainstream audiences and big awards it low key makes me sick. Only things that gave this show the love it deserved were magazines and some websites.
I love this series and it was very well done, Found some people that attempted to watch it gave up before the end of the first season on the premise they did not understand it. GOT on the other hand appealed to the masses and was more commercially accepted. My 2 favorite shows to rewatch? The Leftovers and GOT
Thank you for posting. This scene is superbly acted and executed. You can literally feel what "Kevin" so desperately wanted. Rarely do you see that kind of emotionally producing acting anymore. Great job Justin
If you want to get out of here, all you have to do is sing. I don't believe you. Why not? Because it's stupid. Ah, the trial, it's beneath you. It's not elegant enough. Too easy. You pushed a little girl into a well. You don't want to sing?
Exactly! That part summed his life, him not getting what’s going on with his dad, the magazine and the universe it’s like conspiring against you to break you emotionally getting you to the weak spot, it was this part and the scene where he was talking to his dad through the Tv that gets me every time
The reason this scene is so powerful is because this is the moment when Kevin consciously chooses life as a meaningful pursuit rather than the nihilistic alternative.
One of the most underrated television shows.
inbetweenthemirror of all time it's in my top 3 favorites. People will look back and it will become a cult favorite.
the emotion he conveys here is just amazing. What an actor
It's not underrated, just not popular. HBO guilt, I guess. Very poor ad campaign.
Also many people didn't like 1 season, cuz its may seem a little boring. I was bought immidiately.

@@DavidS-zq8tz Makes you realize that talent isn't a consideration for said awards.

yupp that's the point
"you pushed a little girl down a well but you're scared to sing?"
+Bill Grubb I would push a not-real girl down a well 100 times before I had to sing karaoke.
+Spratster that's why he should've won an Emmy!!!

No other show has touched me so emotionally, I am forever changed and enriched by it. Thankful for such powerful acting as demonstrated in this scene.
The show does something pretty amazing. It appears at first to be science fiction or maybe a mystery but it’s nothing of that kind.
It’s really about who we are and what we want from our lives.
Perhaps that’s the greatest mystery.
Mookie Blaylock no it’s really not at its core
@Mookie Blaylock you should rewatch it.....you might have missed the true purpose of the show

Don't forget John breaking down at the hospital, Mary waking up, and Kevin making it back home... powerful scenes.
sad this go no Emmy love at all even after this and the superb third season, it was so overlooked by mainstream audiences and big awards it low key makes me sick. Only things that gave this show the love it deserved were magazines and some websites.
I love this series and it was very well done, Found some people that attempted to watch it gave up before the end of the first season on the premise they did not understand it. GOT on the other hand appealed to the masses and was more commercially accepted. My 2 favorite shows to rewatch? The Leftovers and GOT
Cryin missin my this one chick, she loved this song.
God knows how much i cried over this scene
This thing is just too good for TV.
I thought for sure that this was the end for Kevin Garvey. I was wonderfully wrong
Love this show
This show always keeps you on your toes
Renewed for a third and final season!!!
😊😩 so bittersweet
Thank you for posting. This scene is superbly acted and executed. You can literally feel what "Kevin" so desperately wanted. Rarely do you see that kind of emotionally producing acting anymore. Great job Justin
The most underrated show ever.
If you want to get out of here, all you have to do is sing.
I don't believe you.
Why not?
Because it's stupid.
Ah, the trial, it's beneath you. It's not elegant enough. Too easy.
You pushed a little girl into a well.
You don't want to sing?
Because it's stupid!

John Roberts , I love this episode! I just watched it
Did anyone else audibly gasp at the cigarettes and magazines part
Exactly! That part summed his life, him not getting what’s going on with his dad, the magazine and the universe it’s like conspiring against you to break you emotionally getting you to the weak spot, it was this part and the scene where he was talking to his dad through the Tv that gets me every time
Beautiful series!!
The reason this scene is so powerful is because this is the moment when Kevin consciously chooses life as a meaningful pursuit rather than the nihilistic alternative.
he is a great actor and I hope he get more offers after this show
Kevin Garvey 初めて彼の、聴きなれた歌を耳にしました。私の心に深く響きました。何故か涙が溢れました。😥😭
What a stupidly powerful scene
0:56 hit the spot for me, as well as the nod at the party.
Extra-ordinary scene. Awesome. Sounds like it has been written for it.
I love this show so much so emotional I honestly almost cried several times throughout the series
This is one of the best scenes of a TV show I've ever seen.
Acting, story telling, it's incredible. WE WANT SEASON 3!!
TV History.

There were many scenes in the series that moved me and made me weep. This was one of them.
Another was Christopher Ecclestone at a grave digging.
