It's essentially about how people process enormous grief, not just for people but for societal and community level losses. It explores belief, science, disillusionment, psychology, and relationships. It's very well acted. Carrie Coon is phenomenal, but also standout performances by Regina King, Amy Brenneman, Margaret Qualley, and Justin Theroux. Theroux especially grew on me -- I had thought of him as just kind of a pretty boy and he is sort of just that in the first season, but by the end of the series I felt like he basically carries the show alongside Coon.

And while I don't want to give the ending away, I do feel it leaves you with a sense of grounding and hope. Not that "everything will be okay" in a trite sense. But that people and families will persevere in their own ways.


+100
The Leftovers is one of the most original, thought provoking, dark - and often very funny - shows I've ever seen. I watched it years ago and think about it to this day. So beautifully done.

I actually prefer Next Gen and later, but I'm soo familiar with them that going through the original and the movies makes me appreciate next Gen more.

Picard's at the helm -
All's right with the world!

Yes! Also recommend Poirot.
