If so does it actually get better or make sense? I mean 140 million disappearing is not that big of a deal especially if disperse globally. DUd you buy into the entire drama? I am only on season one but will there be more intrigue later on or just interpersonal relationship the entire way?

Wut

If one person just disappeared, that would be a big deal

one of the best shows of all time. A little disappointing ending but the dots are connected by the end.

One of the best dramas of this decade in my book. Season one is a bit slow because they follow the book. Season 2 and 3 are phenomenal television.

I rank the series finale as one of the best I've ever seen. But I can see how some folks wouldn't like the dots they connected.

Yes but live moves on especially if you can't explain it away. Its only 2% of the worlds population.

An example of a good show that improved after it passed the source material.

It's a great show. Acting, writing, directing, even the music are top notch. But dont ever demand an explanation for any of the weird shite that happens or you'll be let down. Just absorb the suffering and joy as it comes.

Season two is all time great. I would have been fine with the last scene being the end of the series. Fantastic television.

Season 2 is up there with some of the greatest seasons of a show I’ve ever seen.

100%. First season I was barely into it but like others have said, S2 and S3 are pure art and still gives me chills. I thought S3 and the finale were perfect.

The soundtrack is amazing as well

Twang old school country is not really my jam, but I dont think an opening song has ever fit a show better. Hate that they changed it for season 3.

I think I'll like it more during a rewatch. I spent too much time during the initial run asking "WTF" and wanting answers.

Just enjoy the show and take what it gives you.

Oh you went and did it now, lol. This board absolutely REVERES the Leftovers. Personally I found the acting super- impressive, just awesome performances. Beyond that it was a disorganized mess.
