I love how you can immediately tell Kevin’s not pretending anymore by how he walks right at the beginning of the scene. Aggressive, wide gait, heavy steps. That’s Kevin.
Zvonimir Kralj Yes! He was phenomenal! As was all the leads, Nora, Matt and Laurie and of course the great Scott Glen!! He was amazing!!! I'm so happy they actually gave us closure and a happy one! I'm still so sad to see it end but I was seriously afraid I was going to be left confused and quite frankly pissed off! Lol! Great job guys, excellent show! I still wish it could go on though, maybe just a dromedy, "Kevin and Nora do Australia"?
@@djprofessork5332 I recently found out through watching interviews that Justin who played Kevin and Ann who played Patti are like best friends irl. Almost every day after filming she would ride her bike to his hotel and they would share cocktails on his balcony. I don’t know why but this fact makes me so happy. Two absolute masters at their craft.
The Leftovers... One of the most thought provoking and well-acted/well-written shows in my lifetime, maybe the best... and when I tell people its my favorite show, they tell me they've never heard of it. And I'm ok with that.
James, I was about to write the same thing. I am actually glad it didn't become famous. It just makes it all the more special. And that soundtrack... my god, I cry within seconds!
What's incredible is how long Kevin got by and continued to live based on the idea that he MAY find Nora someday and correct the biggest mistake of his life. With Kevin's history of suicide and depression, it's really fucking amazing how the character endured for so long.
@@xyPERSON There is no God. I'm sorry, I know you made this comment 3 years ago, but there's no God. It's a lie that people tell themselves. You need to get over it.
This is Kevin expressing what everyone who lost someone in the Sudden Departure has felt for the past three seasons, and everything they wish they had felt.
Yeah when she tells about the other side, she knew her family was happy, even without her, so she didn't talk to them. I wish that they elaborated more on the other side.
@@simongreenxxx So true. Those that hated it did not enjoy the performance or the story. They were too busy looking for answers as to what and why it happened. Me, I stopped looking and went on the journey with the characters.
This show does the "What?" thing several times over the course of the show and it always cracks me up. It's always after the most insane or unexpected shit is said to Kevin and you can just see it break his brain.
I am just a big fan of Lindelof's work -- being that both these two shows. What I admire is his boldness and determination to value ambiguity over explanation. And the meaningful, touching, and human television that he creates. I just love his way of writing. Btw, as you said you are a Lost fan, in my channel there's a 10 min tribute to the show I uploaded a couple of years ago for the 10 year anniversary of the series Pilot!
I'll see that. Yes I also love what he creates, there's always so much depth and sensitivity and also very logical. He knows his characters very well and that's why he creates such an incredible stories. I always loved the fact that characters were always more important for him and he always gave them the ending which they deserved, not caring for everybody's expectation. That is what a real artists do, they are just being honest with themselves and what they create
It's why I hate the 3rd season, because they missed all those years, so hard to watch and I hated it at first, but the fact a TV show can make me hate it because of my own emotions is why this is such an amazing piece of art.
Nora durst is probably my favorite tv character of recent memory. She's got like the balls and tenacity like a character out of Game of thrones would have, but the way she's depicted in "leftovers"you can almost imagine her actually existing here and now.
She is like Sasuke Uchiha. They're two broken souls. All of them actions are based on the trauma of lost their entire family. Their sadness, anger and despair are so real.
Right up until this scene I still wasn't sure WTF was going on-- whether we were in the 'living world' or some afterlife; I thought maybe Kevin had 'reset' the afterlife with his nuclear war in the previous episode, returned to life, lived out the rest of his days, while Nora had been killed by the 'departure machine' and was in contact with Laurie who'd drowned. Thought Kevin's arrival at Nora's doorstep was like, he'd finally arrived in this afterlife they were in and his memories of everything he regretted were gone, or suppressed, and that the look on his face while they danced was the feeling of grief that he'd lost her starting to break through... Then he shows up again, carpet-F-bombing her with an explanation about scouring Australia for two weeks every year for years, and it all made sense, and even though it was fairly mundane it made it all more heartbreaking and beautiful, precisely because he *never* gave up on seeing her again. And then Nora gives us sort of a soft explanation of-- if not why the departure happened-- *what* happened, and we've waited years to know, but it takes a back seat to the two of them just being together. I'm not sure another show will ever affect me quite like this one did.
Oh... Thats brilliant; i never thought of that Ill tell you one thing though: no matter which you watched first; YOU CAN TELL it was created by the same people
I was looking for this scene right after seeing the episode cause it struck me. One of the best love speech in a TV show, so credible, simple, direct and emotional. Really echoed with me.
Chairman X Some of the writers were considering having an adult Lily (about 19 or 20) be the one Nora explained what happened to , before realizing it had to be Kevin.
That would have been a really interesting choice. Maybe Kevin would be terminally ill and unable to travel or had finally given up on his search, but Lily (who had reconnected with Kevin later in her life) would have taken over his mission to find Nora. She then would have truly been a "bridge" from season 1 to season 3. She would be the one who convinced Nora and Kevin get together at the end of season 1 and 3. If only this season wasn't cut so short, or hell, got another season it is something that could have been explored.
Almost 4 years later and this is still my favorite show of all time. Game of Thrones was in the running, but unlike this it couldn't stick the landing.
Never in recent memory has a TV show fallen so hard from grace like GOT. This behemoth which used to be on everyone's lips for almost a decade and swept awards left and right since its inception is now treated like an afterthought, especially after the last season which was absolute horseshit, minus the acting and music. HBO always gave to the world quality TV and The Leftovers is one of their greatest but most underrated creations & gifts.
This is the only reason I haven't started watching the series again, for the third time. I have to be prepared. Because practically every episode moves to tears, especially by the time we get into S2. I have to be prepared for all the feels.
What I love about this show is that each time I rewatch it, it feels like I’m watching it for the first time. The scenes always hit me with the same emotion no matter how many times I watch them. No other show does that for me. This will forever be my favourite show!
I finished the show about half an hour ago. I thought i had stopped crying then this scene starts and Kevin tells her he gets 2 weeks a year vacation to look for her......man. That sh%t got me. This scene, this episode. THIS GOD DAMN SHOW. What a triumph.
I firmly believed I’m the only one who does that! Whether it’s the leftovers or six feet under they weren’t just tv shows for me more than a tremendous experience and life lessons!
The entire ending to The Leftovers was incredible! It's sad and happy and inspiring. When he reads the last page of that book and then tells himself to cut this thing outta me...so we can never come back here. And I thought it was really sweet when earlier in the show when he was talking about his Dad and he said "some people hold a candle" and then how he says he always did for her... to Nora at the end....he was holding a candle. And it's poetic that he starts to cry when he says how excited he felt when he saw her but then had no idea what to say. It gives me hope that I can find a meaningful ending with my Nora too.
I'm always thinking about how Kevin lived all those years. I mean, maybe believing she was still alive was less painful than saying goodbye. The struggle to find her was the only propose he had in life. but The agony, the desparre of knowing deep down inside him she was out there somewhere, the voice who wouldn't let him moving on or embrace the grief, the pity look he must've received. I actually can picture Jill trying to convince him Nora wasn't there anymore, worried about him. I think about Kevin's disappointment every time he had a wave of hope. Every year he would've believed that was the year. I think about the glance of happiness that probably went through his mind when Matt died and probably she would be at the funeral. I think about the amount of women people tried to introduced to him so he could've a wife, the meaningless sex, going to bed alone, their bed.
This is one of the most romantic things I've ever seen. I just love it. And Justin Fucking Theroux knocks it out of the park. I wish he had more stuff like this. Such a beautiful episode for these 2 characters. Such a gift for us fans of the show.
This scene has me bawling every time I watch it. Thinking of Kevin searching for decades and finally finding her. I can only imagine the emotions that would surface.
That's why I had an issue with this storyline, to be honest. If he put in that much work, and waited so damned long, the second she opened the door on him, he wouldn't have put on a show. He would have grabbed her and kissed her immediately. He wouldn't have been able to hold himself back
In the end, Kevin himself had to have someone departed, so he could focus, so he could understand and believe what it's like. His lines about not believeing she was gone when everyone else said so, that's the grief of those who lost someone. That, right there, is the pain the show depicts all along. Only that Kevin decided to process his grief by searching and refusing to believe. And that brought them together in the end.
Kevin says his dad is 91 now, & we know he was 75 (from the poster in the police station) when Kevin & Nora last spoke. So, 16 years - not quite decades but still quite the search!
What I notice about Kevin is that for the run of the show he is fearless, but unlike Nora he can't make a decision to save his own life. While Nora will make a decision in a spilt second and thought through it, but unlike Kevin she can never move on the way she needs. The final season masterfully meets them in the middle with each other, Kevin finally makes a decision while thinking it through so hecan always be their for people and be the person that he always was. While Nora finally can move on with her life without the baggage getting in the way with the people around her. Their relationship was what the show was about, accepting that life happens after Grief and will continue to. And the power of letting the mystery existing is what makes life worth living.
After her family disappeared, Nora became the type of person to never dwell on things, she just processes the information and moves forward. So her reaction to that whole story was just, "okay, that makes sense, you're here. Wanna catch up?" Brilliant
Given how heavy this show was, what made the finale great were the moments of levity, like the offer of the tea and Nora’s bickering with Laurie over the phone.
The only series i can honestly say ive watched every episode if not once...twice. I could make an art gallery just from the images of scenes in this show. If i build it...will you come?
Este final es legendario, es hermoso, como un simple mortal como yo podria describir lo grandioso de este arte de hacer historias como LEFTOVERS?, solo se que admiro mucho a esta trama y sus personajes.
This whole show is about faith, but not in higher powers, but in each other. We will always lie, but faith in understanding and loving each other for the lies we've internalized.
I like how they played out all season that this old Nora and Kevin could be taking place in an alternative reality or in the afterlife with how Kevin acted like he didn’t remember all the times with Nora. But no it’s just him being his weirdo flawed self. It’s pretty meta when you consider the alternative timeline on the last season of lost and how hated that was
I actually felt that Kevin was right to walk out on Nora in that hotel room. And it’s right that he found her now. I hope they’re both ready to be together.
tbf during that hotel scene both of them had fair arguments which is what makes this show such a masterpiece and I def think they're both past their traumas now
great series, to me about love and loss when death occurs around us; and stay alive, stay here, afterlife's a dream however; there is really known way of turning back, God might be; it might not; still the one conscious sensing life is now; take care of it; take care of the ones that feel cheated; staying alive after close loss. We are one, who is to say that a bumblebee has less meaning than larger thinking living humans; we move together relentless with memory as long as we can. Many a writer has written that the greatest legacy is to remembered; keep your family and friends alive inside your mind. thanks for a great written view of life, enjoy it while it lasts. cheers, peace, love
Cant convince everyone to watch this masterpiece... Its not for everyone, but those who appreciate it know its the real thing, it makes you feel for real, it can change for the better, or make your realize you can be better
That's so fucking me at the moment, I have also found someone, but she isn't the same person, but a part of me refuse to believe that its not her, it is telling me its her ... so I feel exactly the same with almost the same story, except that the person isn't the same person in real :`( ... she died 30 years back ...
I don't think she lied at all. I think it's an amazing twist on the entirety of the rest of the show where she was the skeptic, especially with everything that happens to Kevin. We, the audience, see what happens to Kevin though since it's told mostly from his POV he could be an unreliable narrator and insane. Still, as far as we know everything that happened to Kevin really happened. Nora is a skeptic and takes nothing on faith, especially not his singular experience. She has her own singular experience and can only tell Kevin about it, and by extension, us, the audience. The irony is, Kevin and the audience know that crazy, cosmic, unbelievable stuff has happened. Just like Nora knows, if nothing else based on the Sudden Departure and nothing else, that crazy, cosmic and unbelievable stuff can and does happen. But knowing that you still have to take what someone else tells you on faith and decide if you believe them or you don't.
I agree. The scientist said she would chicken out, but I think it was more than that. I think she realized the “truth” of what she told Kevin “happened”. That what she speculated was the ONLY thing that it could be like “on the other side”. And MOST importantly, her family left because she WISHED they were gone in the first place. In the moment before that machine killed her, she reconciled the truth of what Kevin had said about her holding onto her family for HER sake, not theirs. She finally let them go to be happy without her.
@@mikefoley870 I think that is the very stroke of genious in this episode, Lindelauf allows you to create the ending that you consider likely, believe her or not.
I love how you can immediately tell Kevin’s not pretending anymore by how he walks right at the beginning of the scene. Aggressive, wide gait, heavy steps. That’s Kevin.

I'm so sad the serie stopped but the final is so great and moving. I'll always keep them in my heart.
Given how heavy this show was, what made the finale great were the moments of levity, like the offer of the tea and Nora’s bickering with Laurie over the phone.
I have never seen a movie whose plot and soundtrack was so beautiful and haunting
The only series i can honestly say ive watched every episode if not once...twice. I could make an art gallery just from the images of scenes in this show. If i build it...will you come?
Makes my heart hurt.
Este final es legendario, es hermoso, como un simple mortal como yo podria describir lo grandioso de este arte de hacer historias como LEFTOVERS?, solo se que admiro mucho a esta trama y sus personajes.
This whole show is about faith, but not in higher powers, but in each other. We will always lie, but faith in understanding and loving each other for the lies we've internalized.
....a-wha?
I like how they played out all season that this old Nora and Kevin could be taking place in an alternative reality or in the afterlife with how Kevin acted like he didn’t remember all the times with Nora. But no it’s just him being his weirdo flawed self.
It’s pretty meta when you consider the alternative timeline on the last season of lost and how hated that was
I actually felt that Kevin was right to walk out on Nora in that hotel room. And it’s right that he found her now. I hope they’re both ready to be together.
tbf during that hotel scene both of them had fair arguments which is what makes this show such a masterpiece and I def think they're both past their traumas now
great series, to me about love and loss when death occurs around us; and stay alive, stay here, afterlife's a dream however;
there is really known way of turning back, God might be; it might not; still the one conscious sensing life is now; take care of it;
take care of the ones that feel cheated; staying alive after close loss. We are one, who is to say that a bumblebee has less meaning than larger thinking living humans; we move together relentless with memory as long as we can. Many a writer has written that the greatest legacy is to remembered; keep your family and friends alive inside your mind.
thanks for a great written view of life, enjoy it while it lasts. cheers, peace, love
How much did they pay Tom Brady to sit next to Nora for this scene?
I disagree but your comment still gets an upvote
This show makes me cry more than any other show.
Oscar worthy acting
Cant convince everyone to watch this masterpiece... Its not for everyone, but those who appreciate it know its the real thing, it makes you feel for real, it can change for the better, or make your realize you can be better
try to not cry
try to not cry
..fuck it!
*cries*
One of my favorite scenes in the whole series.
Up until this very moment, I thought Kevin had dementia.
Trivia: She played Proxima Midnight in the Avengers Infinity Saga which also dealt with a lot of people being snapped out of existence.
Let's hope that they both age as gracefully in real life as they do in this
He need a spin-off about Nora's family on the other side
If TOOL was a TV show, they would be The Leftovers.
Now, if only Kevin used Facebook. His post would have gone viral and he would have saved years.
I have to wonder if my local coffee shop serves tea. I think I can afford to know...
Only 8 episodes..... Wheres the other 2?! 😭😢
those blue eyes stare through you
I love it
Old Kevin reminds me of Bruce Campbell
i know this is supposed to be ending but it was on my feed ... i would be starting with leftover is it worth to start now
yes, best show i’ve ever seen
I never got to look at it because my parents cut cable off
Chale, quiero amar así.
Estás en todas partes.
Roman Alejandro Frias Garcia jajaja por qué
Jajaja es que según recuerdo te vi comentando en varios vídeos de mí interés, sólo que ya los olvidé xD
@@AlejandroFriasGarcia ajajja y hasta ahorita voy leyendo, porque sigo viendo las mismas escenas ajajajajjajaa
Ay, Jetza. Después de 3 años de este comentario... Creo que estás empezando a amar así. Scary, huh?
That's so fucking me at the moment, I have also found someone, but she isn't the same person, but a part of me refuse to believe that its not her, it is telling me its her ... so I feel exactly the same with almost the same story, except that the person isn't the same person in real :`( ... she died 30 years back ...
This series was only nominated for 1 emmy. What a joke
“……okay.”
END
My little sister is a genius.
Stupid question. Why was he looking for her?
I don't think Nora went over. I think she lied.
Fly I think he is lying also
I don't think she lied at all. I think it's an amazing twist on the entirety of the rest of the show where she was the skeptic, especially with everything that happens to Kevin. We, the audience, see what happens to Kevin though since it's told mostly from his POV he could be an unreliable narrator and insane. Still, as far as we know everything that happened to Kevin really happened. Nora is a skeptic and takes nothing on faith, especially not his singular experience. She has her own singular experience and can only tell Kevin about it, and by extension, us, the audience.
The irony is, Kevin and the audience know that crazy, cosmic, unbelievable stuff has happened. Just like Nora knows, if nothing else based on the Sudden Departure and nothing else, that crazy, cosmic and unbelievable stuff can and does happen. But knowing that you still have to take what someone else tells you on faith and decide if you believe them or you don't.
Fly total liar. She lied about her birth year to the scientists, she lied about not knowing Kevin...
I agree. The scientist said she would chicken out, but I think it was more than that. I think she realized the “truth” of what she told Kevin “happened”. That what she speculated was the ONLY thing that it could be like “on the other side”.
And MOST importantly, her family left because she WISHED they were gone in the first place. In the moment before that machine killed her, she reconciled the truth of what Kevin had said about her holding onto her family for HER sake, not theirs. She finally let them go to be happy without her.
@@mikefoley870 I think that is the very stroke of genious in this episode, Lindelauf allows you to create the ending that you consider likely, believe her or not.
Okay, does anyone know where I can get his jacket?
