Episode #12: The Leftovers "Axis Mundi"


Listen Later

It's a whole new town, whole new bunch of characters, and a whole new season of The Leftovers! Yeah, that's right, we're taking a deep dive into the first episode of Season 2, "Axis Mundi". 

We don't see our Mapleton favorites for most of the episode, but we get a crash course in miracles, specifically Miracle, Texas, sometimes also known as Jarden. We also meet the Murphys, Evie, John, Michael, and Erika (played by the incomparable Regina King!). First though, a very weird intro set in the past - way in the past - where a prehistoric woman gives birth under not-so-great circumstances and then won't wash her face. 

Plus, lots of other questions. What's up with Evie running through the woods naked? Why does Erika has a live bird in a box? Is John as sinister as he seems (and where is that damn cricket)? If Isaac can really predict the future, why does it make John so mad? Do the Garveys really have it all together? (Yup, they do show up eventually!)
