So no, I will not be ranking Lindelof\u2019s shows or\u00a0<em>Leftovers<\/em>\u00a0seasons at this time.<\/p>\n<p>I wasn\u2019t expecting to love it as much as I did because, even if you take out the recency bias, I think it\u2019s already up there among my all-time favorite shows, even if this was admittedly a very weird time to start watching\u00a0<em>The Leftovers<\/em>. (The\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ben_rosen\/status\/1308267869600272386\">grim jokes just write themselves<\/a>\u00a0these days.) I\u2019ve written thousands of words about it, but if you are somehow hearing about this series for the first time, watch\u00a0<em>The Leftovers<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>As I\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/mailchi.mp\/56b7348fe7b5\/streaming-tv-party-issue-01?e=78ba0e4f8d\">noted in my inaugural newsletter<\/a>, I wasn\u2019t sure why I never watched\u00a0<em>The Leftovers<\/em>\u00a0when it originally aired because it \u201csounded very much like My Shit.\u201d I was right because it\u00a0<em>was<\/em>\u00a0My Shit. But hindsight shows that at least for me, it was probably better that I watched it now versus back then. For one, I\u2019m not sure how starting season 2 of a show that\u2019s so much about grief would\u2019ve gone down while I was in the middle of my own bout of grieving (and somewhat like Nora, probably not in the healthiest of ways). But it\u2019s definitely the show I\u2019ve connected with most in quarantine\u2014and much more than the\u00a0shows that are actually about quarantine.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/uploads.dailydot.com\/2020\/09\/enlightened.jpeg?auto=compress%2Cformat&amp;fit=scale&amp;h=512&amp;ixlib=php-1.2.1&amp;w=910&amp;wpsize=large\" alt=\"enlightened\" class=\"wp-image-880270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/enlightened.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/enlightened.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/enlightened.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/enlightened.jpeg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/uploads.dailydot.com\/2020\/09\/enlightened.jpeg?auto=compress%2Cformat&amp;fit=scale&amp;h=512&amp;ixlib=php-1.2.1&amp;w=910&amp;wpsize=large\" alt=\"enlightened\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-880270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/enlightened.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/enlightened.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/enlightened.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/enlightened.jpeg 2000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\"><figcaption class=\"dd-article-img-credit\"><span class=\"dd-article-leadart-image-credit\"><br \/>\n    <span class=\"dd-article-leadart-image-credit-segment\"><br \/>\n                    <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hbo.com\/enlightened\/season-01\/2-now-or-never\">Enlightened\/HBO<\/a><br \/>\n                <\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Now_what\"><\/span><strong>Now what?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Starting next week, my colleague\u00a0<strong><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/dailydot.com\/authors\/audra-schroeder\/\">Audra Schroeder<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0is taking over Streaming TV Party for an in-depth look at\u00a0<em><strong>Enlightened<\/strong><\/em>, HBO\u2019s\u00a0critically acclaimed and short-lived dramedy.
