In this edition of 10 Incredible Things, the Council of Zoom team takes a look at Tom Perrotta and Damon Lindelof's supernatural drama The Leftovers. The HBO series, which takes place in a world that's been hit by a catastrophe known as The Sudden Departure, has been compared to shows such as lost. While it didn't reach a massive audience upon release, The Leftovers has since found a strong cult fanbase that celebrates it to this day. But why? Let's dig into the moments that make The Leftovers remarkable.

Like breaking bad and sopranos are firmly in my top ten and I would say they’re way better than the leftovers. The wire is the best show ever made hands down.

Unfortunately, most people give up exactly because they compare it to Lost in some way. The "big mystery" is not the focus of show and the pace is VERY slow if you are expecting something big happening (it wont). When you understand that the show is not your casual end of the world show, you will a masterpiece instead.

Its incredibly funny during some very serious moments, it's because some scenes feels so deranged and out of touch. For example, *minor spoiler incoming* (or reminder if u watched it): A main character is found choking himself with a plastic bag, a few seconds later he says "lets a have a baby" to his significant other, and she starts to laugh uncontrollably while he looks really uncomfortable and distressed. Its one of my favourite scenes due to it being so weird, funny and serious at the same time.

I know at the time it aired at lot of people were mad that it wasn’t a religious show about “the rapture” and didn’t immediately explain what happened. But I always saw that as a fundamental misunderstanding of the story that was even set up to tell. It’s a show watching people cope with grief in every imaginable way. It’s painful to watch but it’s well worth doing so.

Apparently, the people on "the other side" have to continue their lives and deal with a much greater number of losses, if you understand they represent the nineteen /snr “Departed", and that, for them- eighty-one per cent of the Earth’s human population has disappeared and they have no explanation for that. I tried to imagine what that would be like if it really happened, and how my brain would attempt to logically comprehend it. 1:17, 24-02-24

I must agree with you on that; Max [Richter] is a very gifted composer and musician, and I’ve been wondering how they managed to secure his contract for the original soundtrack and score that’s very distinct to the first season of the series. It sets the mood and tone to "The Departure" and its aftermath on the various characters in "The Leftovers". It's also the musical theme people have come to associate with the show. I got the original soundtrack from Apple Music - no charge, and the music for the other seasons can be found (though I didn’t really like the music featured for the opening credits in the following years). ☮︎︎✌︎︎

Don't listen to the reviews for this show. It is a massive piece of crap. The show's writer Damon Lindelof has ONE trick. The same trick he used on Lost and Prometheus. He writes a bunch of weird random stuff and then strings you along, episode after episode, NEVER explaining any of it. The poor viewer keeps watching hoping the next episode will explain something, but no it never does. In the Leftovers there are a thousand questions that you will never know the answer to. Slight Spoilers Below. But how can you spoil something that is never revealed? Where did the Departed go? We never find out. One person says they know but all the clues say they are lying. Why does the Cult wear white, not talk, and chain smoke? Damn if I know. Is Kevin really immortal? Your guess is as good as mine. Was Patti real? Was the Hotel real? Could Wayne really take away pain? Was he really a "magical" being? Wayne kept saying that the baby was special, yet nothing happens with the baby. In fact they just write it out of the show by season three. On and on. A million plot points introduced with ZERO resolution and enough loose ends to weave a sweater.

If you’re still questioning what happened to the departed, then you missed the whole f’n point. I’ll be honest, I was very curious about where they went and became a little frustrated as season 1 went along. By the end of S1 and definitely during S2, I became way more intrigued about the chaos and depravity of those left behind. I stopped questioning it and just enjoyed the story.
