Hey, next up is a discussion on 3 tv shows: The Last of Us, Station Eleven and The Leftovers, in which I'll be exploring how the post-apocalyptic genre has been shifting towards a more hopeful and humanistic place.

I realize that Station Eleven and The Leftovers aren't as popular as The Last of Us is right now, which is why I'll talk about those shows in general, thematic terms without really going into spoilers (similar approach as my Severance video), so no worries if you haven't seen them yet! As for The Last of Us, there's spoilers for the third episode, but nothing really beyond that.

PS. Just for fun, I posted a little vibe teaser on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Tom_LSOO/status/1626316008259481603

Sounds fascinating! I’ve not got round to station 11 but this is a good excuse. I would say, not as a criticism, more as an observation that what you class as a spoiler isn’t always what I would. I know my partner was furious when you said you wouldn’t put spoilers for In Bruges and then dropped in the scene of Colin Farrell crying about “the thing” he felt guilt about. I think for many folks “spoilers” doesn’t just consist of the plot, it’s more things that could make them infer easily what the plot or resolutions are. Just a thought, I still consider you the finest video essayist out there.

Very happy about this! Huge Leftovers and Station Eleven fan, having watched them both, twice! Not watching The Last of Us yet. Looking forward to your unique introspective, psychological and philosophical insights on these!

I'm thrilled about this. By chance have you seen the three part video essay series on "The Psychology of Kevin" from Kirby Yardley? It's truly the only video series that comes close to your level. I think you'd be quite impressed by it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z45IrkS7KS0

I’m so excited to hear your thoughts on Station Eleven, its easily the best show I’ve seen in a very long time which unfortunately went unnoticed

Yeah the issue of spoilers is always a tricky one, I generally assume most people have seen the movies/shows I'm talking about, but if not, it's always a bit of a guessing game as to where exactly the line is..
