re: HBO series True Detective, Barry, Sharp Objects and Leftovers?

Leftovers is probably the most engrossing and emotion-inducing TV series I've ever seen. I don't mean it's a tearjerker, but it'll make you feel...something. The visuals are great, the music is great, it's just kind of hard to describe. Admittedly, it's weird, so maybe it's not for everyone. That said, I'm not the most adventurous movie/TV guy, so I assume if I can get into it most can.

Definitely watch Chernobyl, as mentioned.
