Havent seen it. The plot doesn't interest me at all.
The Leftovers takes place in the wake of a global "Rapture", which caused the unexplainable disappearance of 2% of the world population. It centers not on the people who were taken, but on the ones left behind, in the fictitious small town of Mapleton, New York.[1]
Haven't gotten around to it, there's a lot of HBO stuff I haven't gotten even close to starting yet. Still haven't seen Ruffalos' Normal Heart, Tyrant on FX, Strain on FX, and some more stuff coming up on HBO. And I have yet to even marathon game of thrones yet.
There's also Last Ship on TNT which I haven't gotten around to.
Only shows I've been DVR'ing and keeping up with is the 24 mini-series and Falling Skies. 24 finishes tonight so I should have some time to check out something else.
Yeah I love shows like this. Where weird stuff happens and you don't know what's going on. I also enjoyed ep 3. I thought I wasn't going to like it based on the previews, but it was really good.
The first two episodes they leave you in the dark, mostly, episodes 3 and 4 they start telling you about characters before the rapture. If you've thought about giving up after the first two, I would say episode's 3 & 4 should change your mind.
I've enjoyed season three even more than season 2 and I watched that season three times before season 3 started. The hotel/international assassin plot from season 2 is one of my favorite episodes of any television show ever. I too am sad that it's ending but at least it's going out on top. I think it's the second best HBO show with only "The Wire" being better.
