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.
