This show resonates with me on nearly a transcendental level, and I've never been able to quite put my finger on why. The lack of attention and praise that it gets sometimes makes me feel insane, because it SHOULD be heralded as one of the best of all time, up there with The Sopranos, Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul, The Wire, and yet I feel like it's been almost entirely forgotten.

[@mariocoelho9380]

I only heard about it a couple of weeks ago, which is strange since I watch A LOT of tv-shows, and this has risen immediately to my top 3 of all time, along with True detective season 1 and Mad Men. I think it's not as well known as those you mentioned because it's way more daring and "out there" than probably anything I've seen, making it more divisive. There's no way in hell that "Breaking Bad" would have an episode like "International Assassin".

Its because so many people seek for literal answers in a show that almost exclusively tells its incredible contents through subtext and atmosphere. Its a haunting vision combining a sobbing melodrama with an intricate discourse about belief and humanity. In my oppinion the best show of all time eventhough some seem not open to it.

Then watch Dark. I watched The Leftovers searching for something comparable. Dark is truly on another level to anything else out there but Leftovers was entertaining.

We cannot mourn those who have never finished giving up the ghost, We cannot be at peace with those part who still continue to take our hearts out. It's not the absence she left with me that makes me miss her, It is the presence that she still has in me as she is gone with a part of me.

[@JDMimeTHEFIRST]

Nora is the best character I’ve seen in a long time. It definitely reflects how I feel the most alone around others. It’s tough to relate to most people when everyone seems to be constantly lying and dying instead of living in a real way. Being neurodivergent feels like being gaslit your whole life but still knowing you make sense but the world is not designed for you . . . Nora’s character reflects that feeling for me. It’s tough to trust anyone or anyone’s feeling when people pretend so much

[@solyd2402]

yeah its a weird world sometimes.

The best tv show off all time. It's hard to watch everything else knowing it will never reach the leftovers.

I had no idea this show existed until about a month ago. It showed up on some “Best TV show in history” list so I was naturally curious. I began to watch it and as I’m sure it would have when the show originally aired, I was gripped by the premise and by the different representations of people’s belief systems: the priest, the agnostic, the outright atheist (the majority of the characters seem to be atheists despite the similarity to biblical prophecy surrounding The Sudden Departure), the holy man out in the wilderness and the Jim Jones-type cult leader. She was my favorite only because I really came to despise her. I became invested in most of the characters and but also in the premise and the promise of a resolution and answers. The show has been out for a few years so I avoided any reference to the show for fear that I would get spoiled just in the headline “The Leftovers Big Secret, It Was all A Dream!”. The three seasons flew right by AND as I binged it, I became more and more and excited at a final showdown or conclusion based on the script’s own outright telegraphs surrounding the seven year anniversary of the Sudden Departure. Every story line became a countdown to the anniversary and story lines had built up to converge and crescendo on that day to the point that there was a globe-trotting chase to be there in order to stop the END OF THE WORLD as The Rapture/Tribulation and the script suggested. I started the second to last episode in the series and I gotta say, the whole international assassin trope, even if it was presented as trope, fell flat on me but I figured that once Kevin came out of it, we would “get serious” and we would finally find out what the fuck has been happening for the last seven years: holy men, immortal men, pre-historic vignettes of women who died at the end of the last Ice Age, earthquakes which magically thwart Kevin’s suicide attempt, finally, all would be revealed!…..and then it wasn’t. Ok, ok, then I thought that Nora’s storyline would finally provide some answers. Was the Departure a natural event? Was it a parallel universe? Well, as sweet and melancholy as the series finale was, it provided next to fuckall in the way of answers! Yeah, she told Kevin where the Departed were but there was scant explanation to the nature of the departure as well as it created glaring plot holes and contradictions to all of the weird-ass shit that happened since the departure. Also, the wafer thin explanation she gave Kevin, beautifully told yet almost transparent , for instance, so the inventor of the original The Fly - Tele-transport machine’s answer to Nora asking him to simply build another one so she could go back was “mmm-ok”. Dafuq?! There is this thing called “verisimilitude”. I like to call it a “bullshit detector” and mine bawled when I heard that explanation to the question “where the fuck have you been, Nora?” It is then that I realized that Damon Lindelof is a hack who is so far up his own ass that HE may well be in that other dimension along with the Departed. Never again, Lindelof. I lost all interest in Lost when smoke monsters began appearing. It was the very smoke signal I needed to heed and it told me he had no fucking clue what the hell was going on just like the rest of us. He dresses up his inability to show respect for his audience by leaving “unanswered questions” as if people really invest time and interest into a story because they love the ensuing blue balls they are left with by a Damon Lindelof Vietnam-sized quagmire. Never again. So I was left not enlightened but utterly confused and not just a little pissed off. If people invest time and attention into a story, even a bad one, they want to know what the hell happened. No wonder I had never heard of this show before and I suspect Lindelof lobbied hard to get even on one of those “Best TV Shows in TV History”. Breaking Bad has the title firmly secured.

[@aubreypressley1450]

Grown man admits he can't understand subtext. First of all the whole point of The Leftovers is that it isn't about the obvious answers to the Departed or the magical realism going on. The point is how it effects the characters. Nora's arc is about how it ruined her life and how she struggles to overcome that. And Kevin's arc is about understanding why he can't stop running from himself. He's lost nothing and yet he can't be happy. The goal is to never give the straightforward answer because those are boring. They rob the story of something. Especially when the story is more driven by the characters within it than the giant stuff around them. Also, if you knew next to anything about Lost you'd know that JJ Abrams came up with like half the mysteries in that show and then left Lindelof's team to figure it out. And Lindelof didn't even want to go past S3 but Fox forced them cause the show was popular. You just can't appreciate ambiguity. Every story needs to be wrapped up with a little bow for you. And some of the best stories don't do that.
