If your not cheating, your not trying. Barrie Mcdermott

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.

I know what your saying but I actually found myself really enjoying the series even though it is relentlessly grim. Thought it got better with the introduction of Nora.

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.

No need for insulting sideswipes - it's a subjective opinion about a TV series that once out there, is a valid target for criticism; I didn't like it, but I have no issues with anyone who does.
