Put simply, one of the finest TV shows ever made, up there with _The Wire_ and _Breaking Bad_. The Leftovers is far more than its mystery, it's about its characters and how they react to this new world and the changes brought before them. It's not about delving into ideas of why the event happened, it's about people that were already broken before it, and how disaster brought that into the light. I don't want to get too much into what makes the show great, because that would be spoiling it. You just need to know that if you want to go into _The Leftovers_ hoping to have a _Lost_ style mystery, in the hopes that everything will be revealed in time, then you should probably alter your expectations or watch _Lost_ again. This is about the people, and that's what makes it truly great.

_The Leftovers_ will make you laugh, it will make you cry (oh boy, will it make you cry) and it will make you happy that someone even attempted to make a show so bold, ambitious and complete, that you will never forget. It was criminally underwatched when it was airing, but now you can watch the whole thing. Do yourself a favour and watch every minute of this masterpiece.
