When Should TV Shows Stop While They’re Ahead?

On this week’s episode of “The Vulture TV Podcast,” we discuss the season-two finale of one of our favorite shows of 2015, The Leftovers. Will the series get a third season? Does it need one? And is there such a thing more beautiful than Justin Theroux cry-singing “Homeward Bound”? Plus, Matt and Margaret respond to a listener with very specific views on when to stop watching Battlestar Galactica, and explore why it’s one of the most accurate depictions of the American psyche in the post-9/11 world.

Further reading: Matt on the renewed energy of a good second season; Margaret on why this should be the end of The Leftovers; Reza Aslan addresses your Leftovers finale questions; all of Justin Theroux’s beautiful tears.
