The Leftovers
Series · 2014
When 2% of the world's population abruptly disappears without explanation, the world struggles to understand just what they're supposed to do about it. This is the story of the people who didn't make the cut.
The sides of The Leftovers
- Two percent of the world vanishing at once
- A police chief holding his family together
- A silent cult dressed in white
The Leftovers is good for you if…
- you like grief so raw it moves you to tears.
- you can live with never learning where the vanished went.
- you like Kevin and Nora, two broken people trying to go on.
The Leftovers is bad for you if…
- you can't take grief, suicide and despair on screen.
- you need a story that moves fast, not three seasons of mourning.
