Rolling Stone

If last week’s episode was primarily a showcase of all the things that Pascal is great at, then “Left Behind” is even more of one for Ramsey.

The Atlantic

“Left Behind” isn’t remarkable merely for filling in the blanks of Ellie’s past. Rather, it’s a quiet celebration of the world that once existed -- a world the audience knows all too well and, the show posits, all too often takes for granted.
