About the series

The Leftovers is an American mystery, thriller and fantasy TV series that chronicles life after a rapturous event simply makes many people dissappear and leaves billions wondering what and how it happened. Created by Damon Lindelof and Tom Perrotta, the critically acclaimed series is based on Perrotta’s 2011 hit novel by the same name. Season 1 of The Leftovers debuted on HBO on June 29, 2014 and the current third season premiered on April 16th, 2017 with eight new episodes.

The Leftovers story revolves around the members of the Garvey family and their friends, who have each started an unlikely relationship following a rapturous event in which Millions of people vanished without any explanations. This event is being named ‘The Departure’ and it leaves those left behind fighting depression, delusion and many other emotional problems. Starring Liv Tyler, Christopher Eccleston, Chris Zylka, Margaret Qualley, Carrie Coon, Justin Theroux and Amy Brenneman, among others. After Kevin and Nora decided to settle in Miracle with their newly adopted baby girl, things changed significantly in the third season, as a mysterious machine supposedly makes it possible to travel to “where they went”. As Kevin, his dad, Nora, Laurie and Matt are travelling through Australia trying to prevent a flood for the seventh anniversary of the departure, things become even more complicated and strange for all involved. Will there be a solution? Or even more so – will there finally be answers to everyone’s questions?

Overall ratings and no season 4 for this series

Season one of the series averaged around 1.6 Million viewers per episode, which – for HBO standards – is rather dismal in numbers and even though the second season didn’t fare as well, HBO still renewed the series for a third and final installment. The show is not for the fainthearted as the plot is complicated and leaves the viewer often without any answers until the very end, but those staying with it are rewarded with an Award winning series very different of the mainstream TV-crap we often have to endure these days. The interesting fact with The Leftovers is also, that religion plays a huge part in this show, but it is never really at the forefront of anything that happens, leaving the big parts to be played by the characters themselves rather than presenting us with some institutional pre-amplified thoughts. It is a shame that The Leftovers are ending with this current third season.

I am new to this site. Ran across Left Behind and I felt I just had to say something even though I know that no one cares what I have to say. I was so in love with this show. I will never understand why they cancel shows that are doing good and making them money. The way they just threw together that last season was so disappointing and depressing. It was like they couldn't get rid of it fast enough and they never gave us an explanation of what really happened to the ones that disappeared!! Sure they gave a small 'Maybe this is what happened'. But they left a huge void. If I were in charge I would have fired those writers and hired writers that would have given the show some soul and acted like they truly cared about it. Same with GOT. Who gets rid of a show that is successful and making them millions? HBO, that's who! They don't deserve the millions that GOT made for them. They don't care about us fans. And it is us who made them all that money and they just kicked us to the curb.

I only started watching when Season 2 began - and I was CAPTIVATED by every single episode!
The show titled 'International Assasin' was absolutely the most moving episode I have ever seen - not only the storyline and acting, but the MUSIC!

Whomever the people are (or the person) that wrote the music for this show AND the people that incorporate it into the story - are gifted beyond description.

And Justin Theroux?
He has the ability to so powerfully portray the emotion of his character that I think every viewer couldn't help but feel the same. Definitely Oscar worthy!

I have watched it several times and each time I am truly mesmerized. It will be quite a feat for Season 3 to eclipse Season 2.

I couldn't believe that there wasn't going to be a season 3! How can this show have lost so many viewers?!! It's one of the best shows on HBO! Besides true blood this show had me subscribing to HBO just for that series. It's definitely under rated and should not leave us hanging for so long! This sucks that we have to wait so long, it shouldn't be this way, just saying

I sooooooooooooooooooooo agree with you, and especially having been a True Blood fan/addict/love of all things Bon Temp, I so desperately needed something to sink my starving teeth into after Vampire Bill and Sookie, and this truly has had me starving for more, Gosh realizing puns unintended, but hope HBO knows we LOVE LOVE LOVE this show and hope for more than a final Season Three! Isn't there any THING you can satiate us with for years to come besides Dragons? Please? This really makes you test your own mortality issues and inner drive in such a material based world,

Completely agree! This show is amazing and completely under rated. Advertising the show would have made this show a hit just like GOT. Amazing story line, actors, and great music. So sad to see it being cancelled for ridiculous other shows that have no talent or plot.

This has to be one of the best shows iv ever watched, ever! I cannot fault a thing about it and the story lines are incredible, very original and unlike anything else u will find on tv. I thought it was going to be cancelled after season 2 because the viewing figures were not high (I don't know why) but im so glad HBO came to their senses. Some of the worst quality tv like reality shows pull in a lot of viewers and the worry is that good quality, well written shows will eventually dwindle and leave us with rubbish like the Kardashians or Jersey Shore, tv at it's very lowest common denominator. I just can't wait for season 3!! I can't honestly say who my favourite actor is, but at a push I'd say Patti. The scenes that
stick in my head from s2 are Kevin singing Homeward Bound and pushing Patti into the well. If she isn't in s3 I'll miss her. I loved Kevin's dad in it too, brilliant. Get the word out!

it would be a complete travesty to cancel this show.i would have to rate this show an 11 out of 10 on its gripping storyline..all the actors are absolutly brilliant.I stumbled across this show and absolutley love the music in this series,not many shows will get me to shed a tear,but that scene when kevin pushes the child down the well.and he later holds patti ,had me babbling like a 2 year old,got a lump in my throat just remembering it.As well i loved the part when kevin sang homeward bound while balling his eyes out was truly superb acting at its best...tv today is 95% [censored]....but this show deserves the finest of awards...Bravo to the story,director,producers,actors,actresses,and music....Thank you for at least providing real tv amongst trash that exists...cant wait to see season 3.....cancel this show...cmon your kidding..worst mistake!

:lol: Loved the first season but the second season was absolutely brilliant. Wonderful acting by all the cast, great script, exceptional TV viewing. I even got my husband addicted to watching it and he hates TV. There must be a way to get the word out there that this program is seriously good.

I watched the first 2 seasons in days. I'm addicted! I hope Netflix is smart enough to continue on after season 3.

We stumbled on The Leftovers completely on accident, but were hooked right away. I'm so mad that after 3 seasons, it will end. It's a super great, super suspenseful show, with characters you react to right off the bat. Yes, sign me up to be notified, and I sure hope its soon!!!!

Your correct, it's a great show. I think the biggest reason for more people not watching was it didn't get enough press. I hadn't even heard of it until last week, and now I just finished the last episode of season 2. I love it and can't wait to see what happens in Season 3. As for the decline in those who watch, well, time between seasons doesn't help, we have to watch something, and many don't return after a long gap. In addition, there are other shows to watch which are equally good, and, so, we try to watch all of them and some slip through the cracks.
Plus, nudity helps, and there just isn't much in this show. :) (Except where he dies and slides out of the bathtub.)

The leftovers is hands down the most interesting show I've watched. I don't watch the Empire!! I'm not into Lame rappers, and big furr minks. But the leftovers... Man!! The plot is mystique. Everyone is suspenseful after the departure on October 14. People are uncertain and have no definite direction. Man it's crazy because you see faith and the ways in which its tested, you see unbelievers. The show left me with an esemplastic urge to want to see more!! It's a great show and I like critically thinking. It didn't have the black lady, "the mayor" of mapleton in season 2. She's hot!! I hope we get to see how Meg runs her remnant cult in miracle!! She's a lot different than patty!! She hot too and her blue eyes are dangerous to stare into. Over great show, please release season 3 soon!!
