Quote: bren2k "Just watched the season finale - no risk of spoilers, because there were no revelations about the departure; not even a tiny tease of an explanation about what happened. Now maybe I'm indicative of a dumbed down modern audience that requires set-up, pay-off and resolution in each hour long episode, but I've persevered without any of that for ten whole episodes of The Leftovers, and it's left me feeling a bit cheated.
I can't see me bothering with season 2 - in the end, despite being well made and decently acted, it turned out to be mostly depressing, nihilistic and in places (the stoning!) downright nasty - all for nothing.'"
Fair enough, you feel cheated of something after watching a TV series. How young are?
It did seem downright nasty and nihilistic, but how would we react if 2% of our population suddenly disappeared?
I can't wait for the second helpings.
