re: The Leftovers HBO Season 1 Thread

it drops you in the middle of a bunch of shite going on that it apparently it not going to explain, so you can see how people react to a random, unexpected, unexplained, and sudden crisis. we're going to see the characters interact with this forced mysterious setting to see how they cope, and react to their coping. the unexplained mysteries will hide the lacking story, and because characters start at A and end at B, the show will be praised as a character study (by people who secretly want to figure out the mysteries, while calling people who ask about them idiots who "need things spoon fed to them").
