Kin was very average. Aidan Gillen ruined it for me with the constant overacting meh.

After seeing it high up on the top 100 list a few pages back I started watching the Leftovers?

It's pretty bonkers and the first season is a bit of a slog but the second season is a brilliant bit of TV right up there with anything I've seen. Started season 3 last night I hope it's as good.

How about skipping the first season and just starting with the second season, would anthing of note be missed?

Yeah probably it's a fairly complicated story and can throw you down a few different roads before leading you back to where you should be so you would definitely need season 1 under your belt before tackling the 2nd season.

The first season isn't terrible it's watchable just not as good as the second season.

Gillen was terrible in Kin.  I liked it due to it being set in Ireland but it wasn't anything special to be honest.

I watched The Leftovers when it was on and although it was a bit nuts, I still thought it was very good.  Theroux was brilliant in it.

Thought Kin was average enough too but I don't think I'm giving a spoiler by saying the finale opened the prospect of it getting interesting going forward?

A very Godfatheresque finish to Kin.

Has Gillen ever been good in anything? (and he has been is some brilliant shows)
I can only please one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look good either

Thoughts on the Kin finale?
Haven't seen it yet but I'm sure nrico2006 will be along shortly with plenty of spoilers.

Wouldn't take a rocket scientist to predict how Kin was going to end.

Kin was an awful show. Poorly acted (lots of overacting) and full of plot holes. Not a patch on Love/Hate.

The actor who played Kem was as bad as I have ever saw in a proper show/film.
