"HBO's The Leftovers casts a gripping, morbid spell. Think of it as a unique entry in the "post-apocalyptic" genre. It's a dystopian future, but with all the amenities intact. It's the human psyche that's taken a beating, not the planet. Numbness, nihilism, anxiety, rage, violence, and mystery all play out on a canvass that resembles our exact world. But it's a world that, on both large and small scales, can't deal with unexplained loss."
The premise follows the aftermath of 140 million people (all ages, races, creeds) that upped and vanished into thin air on a seemingly random October 14th, sending the globe into a swirling haze of questions and proclamations.
