There’s never been a TV show quite like “The Leftovers” and there may never be one again. Sure, it shares elements of other near-post-apocalyptics like “Revolution,” quasi-religious ontological mindbenders like “The OA” and grief dramas like “The Returned,” but none were as devastating as “The Leftovers.”
The HBO show, for those who are unfamiliar, has a simple premise: 2% of the world’s population disappears at the exact same moment — the Sudden Departure — leaving everyone looking for answers. A plucky band of survivors in Mapleton, N.Y.
For Season 2, Kevin and crew head to Miracle, Texas, a town where no one has disappeared, and we meet John , Erika Murphy and their two kids. Season 3 takes place mostly in Australia, where Kevin’s father is trying to stop a biblical-like flood. The show is taut, frustrating and grim — and like creator Damon Lindelof’s previous beloved-but-flawed series, “Lost,” it goes completely off the rails. But this time, the derailed train ends up somewhere achingly beautiful. You may not love “The Leftovers,” but in the end, you know you’re watching something utterly unique. These are the 10 best episodes that get us from point A to, well, somewhere on the quantum plane.
SUCH a good show. I'm on Season 3 Episode 1. Can't wait to see how it finishes out!

I tweet about that show so often. It resonates with me more than any other show. It’s Lindelof’s best work for sure.
Ridiculously perfect.
Starring Gary Rowett
Justin Theroux should get an award for The Leftover
Great list but Guest deserves to be in the top ten. It was Nora's introduction and one of the greatest performances ever in Carrie Coon. The way she shows his sadness, anger, denial all at once takes your breath away.

I echo those that couldn't finish season 1. Meh.
Top HBO show. Underrated.
Some tremendous acting in this show. Most notably from Louis Theroux and Carrie Coon. Beautiful show.
