First of I have to say that I really liked the actors in this series, they were the main reason i kept coming back to it.
As for the title, "The Leftovers" - I've seen a few people say "well duh, you shouldn't expect anything to be explained to you, it's about the people who got left behind". Well, no, not really. That's more like a really lame excuse for making a story that doesn't go anywhere at all.
It would be one thing to make a series about characters trying to move on after a tragedy, but actually very little in the story is about that. ~80% of the story revolves around the mystery itself and even more mysteries that comes into play, but nothing is explained - "because we don't have to, it's about the leftovers!" Uhh OK. How very convenient, then why don't you instead come up with a story that revolves around the leftovers instead of the mystery and more mysteries and mysterious characters that you don't need to explain because "the story isn't about that!". I mean c'mon, that doesn't even make any sense.
I'd even go as far as saying the story is extremely cheap, because it relies too much on some of the cheapest tricks in the book to keep the viewer coming back to it, yes, apart from some great acting.
No. I think i'd like my 7,5h back please.
