The affectingly apocalyptic first season concerns the relationship between familial disintegration and social disintegration. It then gradually shifts to an exploration of the way such disintegration opens a field ranging from consolatory delusion to necessary fiction. The final season, filmed in Australia, seems to have been done somewhat on the cheap, and contains some disastrously poor sequences (e.g., everything on the Bass Strait ferry), but more or less redeems itself by the conclusion.

Utterly transcendental, deeply poetic, and ambitiously spiritual, 'The Leftovers' captures the existential dread and confusion of a post-9/11 world in a manner that is quite often emotionally overwhelming, but powerful in its humanist overtones amidst the melancholy. Richter's score is among the most haunting and outright heart-rending I've heard in my entire life. A show about coming to terms with loss, grief, and all the things that will never be explained. Remarkable, soaring television.

On one hand, works really well from an emotional POV with numerous truly powerful scenes. The main actors/actresses are great and the 3-4 recurring tracks, moving. On the other hand, it suffers from heavy-handed writing: no care is given to the plot progression or to psychology. Characters often act in a dumb manner or in an unbelievable way (i.e. How could Theroux's screwed-up cop keep his job for so long?). Besides it's more about how humans deal with a cataclysmic event than with its origin.

Max Richter's cheesy soundtrack encapsulates this very well. I started watching this at the behest of someone who swore it was smart, and failed to mention that it was created by that garbage creator of Lost. I didn't make it past the first couple of episodes. It's as idiotic, plasticky and awful as I should have suspected it would be.

miraculous. season 1 is far better than the reviews would indicate, though far from revolutionary. season 2 is an upgrade, taking it to the upper echelons of modern television. and season 3 launches it into the stratosphere; by the final episode, the Leftovers becomes the best TV show ever made, a stunning and unparalleled achievement that simultaneously feels long overdue, yet impossible. it is a precious gem hidden in plain sight. grab it before you're gone.

Finally, a TV drama that lives up to the hype. What's most successful are the two different post-semi-apocalypse societies in each season, both of which are fascinating insights into a new-found collective nihilism (or optimism) which gets explored throughout the show. Some of the stand-alone episodes, like priests' episodes and International Assassin, are quite tremendous. Admittedly, it can get ridiculous and even Lost-ey, which I kinda hate and kinda love. My new fave TV drama.

One of the greatest TV series of all time. People who don't appreciate the Guilty Remnant, or leader Patty, or the way authorities 'deal with' the emerging post-Departure cults, are to me genuinely bewildering. "We are living reminders of what you try so desperately to forget." Season 2 less impressive, more conventional, but still better than almost anything else, and includes, specifically, rational, therapeutic and disastrous effort to re-integrate the 'cult' people back into 'normality'.

The show has decent performances, but the forced spiritualism can get on your nerves. I also just don't think things would go down the way they did in the show. There would be cults and annoying religious people, but the behavior of average people seems exaggerated.

Seen it twice. I feel like ppl are blinded by the show's prestige TV veneer. There are a lot of great elements & ideas, but the actual characters & plot are lacking, and the dialogue often gave me 2nd-hand embarrassment. The show is very self-important. It really wants you to think something profound is being said, but that's just not the case. It elicits emotion well (music does a lot of heavy lifting), but only a hollow sort of emotion. Also the promo posters are hilarious—so comically angsty

There are only a handful shows that come up with a deep, nuanced and thorough take on grief and depression while also mixing in comedy and suspense at a well-balanced manner. Mad Men, Bojack Horseman and -to some extent- the Sopranos have been the three that have done this at unattainable levels. I can add the Leftovers to that list after finishing the series.

Yeah, this was great. Binge watching this series as Covid unfolded, left me (ironically) with no regrets. As is usual with expansive open-ended sagas, it suffers from a poor last episode that forces an unwieldy unnecessary attempt at a resolution.

The longer The Leftovers went on the less I was impressed. The premier season was a thought-provoking what-if that served to question ideas of religion, humanity, society, grief, collective trauma, and free will. Each subsequent season was dumbed-down for the sake of melodrama that was less and less justified as the increasingly confused plot unfolded. The characters remain mostly strong though, so I can't say The Leftovers ever gets outright bad, just slightly worse over time.

Difficult to rate because it is so uneven; the premise & the issues delved into (grief, existential dread, and the creation of "nicer stories" to deal with them), and almost all of the performances (esp. JT & CC) are fantastic. But much of the character motivations don't ring true (e.g. I didn't buy anyone besides AD joining the GR), and certain elements feel like the parts of Lost I disliked (notably the ferry ep. in S3). The actor playing the daughter and her overall plot almost ruined S1.

A bit melodramatic, dragged out and would possibly work better as a mini-series, 14 episodes tops. I almost gave up after season 2, but I'm glad I watched it through because season 3 gets it back on track and wraps it up with an interesting ending.

I really loved the first season, but Damon Lindelof seems to have a repetitive problem where he creates a mythology that is highly evocative only to explore that mythology later in ways that undermine it. By the time I got to the third season I was pretty much done, although there were some wonderful things about the second season too.

Fine. There's too much alternate-reality silliness, largely because Lindelof can't restrain himself from being an idiot. The central cast does an exceptional job with the mediocre scripts they're given. Really only worth watching if you're interested Lindelof trying and failing to do penance for Lost. Otherwise, you'd be better off watching something thematically similar but better, like First Reformed or the Kirk Cameron Left Behind.

I can't fairly rate this as I didn't watch the whole series. I tuned in for the allegory, as I heard it was rich, but either I failed to see it or it's actually just pretentious pseudo-intellectual nonsense. Either way, it's painfully boring.

Season 1: Great start. Almost no weak or uninteresting moments. The divine score is perfect. - Season 2 is tolerable. It's irritating at first, and sometimes it feels really petty and stupid. Still, a necessary continuation. - Season 3 is good; some repetitive scenes, lacking excitement. The final episode is impressive. -- Justin Theroux is great.

It is a good show, the second season is awesome but the shadow of "Lost-esque" unexplained things is too strong, actually, one of the creators was involved in scripting in "Lost". I am talking not about the things that happen through all the seasons but the real meaning of the event, what exactly happened to them. Conclusion, a series of "good but..." a 69 then.

An entertaining first season with a good cast and an amazing score. It's eerie and possible at the same time. More to come. Edit- re-watch and update after season 2. The score and cast still phenomenal, but there is a quiet genius underlying the obvious overtones. Edit - season three. It was a short run but it managed to tackle a lot of themes in that short time. It felt a bit rushed, but still made me happy to have watched it.
