Mat DeLong SPOILERS AHEADThese are some of the questions raised through the show:1) What made the people vanish? 2) Where did the departed go? 3) How did Kevin Sr. know Jill was locked in the fridge? 4) Why are the Guilty Remnant really doing what they do? If it was just as simple as a cult for making people remember the departed, how were they so well organised across the country? 5) What did the cave cold opens mean? The caveman one, where the people in the cave died. Then one woman survived, only to be bit by a snake, and have her baby taken away. 6) What did the other cold open about the woman standing on the roof mean? 7) What's the deal with Dean and the dog stuff? If it was just him going crazy, why did Kevin go along with it? 8) How did Mary get healed? 9) What caused Kevin's sleepwalking/split-personalities? 10) What did the national geographic magazine mean? 11) What was up between Kevin and Aimee? 12) Did Kevin Sr. really stop hearing voices? If so, how? 13) How did Matt get healed the first time? 14) Was the earthquake that saved Kevin from drowning really just a coincidence? 15) Was Wayne's hugging power real? He seemed to be able to read minds as people were thinking about their wish or their pain. 16) What did Kevin wish for from Wayne as he died? 17) How did Matt win all the money at the Casino? That was too good to be luck.And obviously: 18) How did Kevin keep coming back to life? I doubt it has anything to do with a condition that would require a pacemaker. Maybe they subtly answered a couple of these... But this show, to me, is about a bunch of people messed up in the head who can't find happiness. And then some of them die. It is depressing, and suspenseful without any real payoff other than an answer to #2.

junglejosh15 Never seen a show where every frame seems ripe with symbolism, every line being worth dissecting and analyzing, every character a real yet unnatural fragment of humanity. Truly don't know what to say, would take multiple rematches to even begin to comprehend everything The Leftovers has to see and ponder. It had been a while since I'd seen something that really reinforced why I loved TV. This was exactly what I needed.

georgette-1 This series was completely engrossing all the way up until the last episode. The writing and acting were top notch, Ann Dowd's performance especially. Having been very disappointed by the ending of Lost, I had hoped that the series wouldn't end on a frustrating note--alas it did.Unlike some reviewers, I found all 3 seasons to be excellent, and the penultimate episode was my favorite. But after viewing the final episode, irritation set in. It was almost as if the writers abandoned ship after Episode 7 and a group of amateurs took over.I do not need every mystery explained to me, in fact it is often better to leave some themes ambiguous. I didn't care if the viewer learned why the 2% left--that wasn't really the point. But Nora's foolish story about going to the "other place" and getting the person who was responsible for the original departures to build her a new machine so she could get back home was pathetic. Surely something more interesting could have been devised. Not sorry I watched it--but it could have been great.

carolblack-32046 Wow! This show has a lot of mixed reviews. I just finished watching Season 3. This is my take on it. It's a drama. Not science fiction, not action, not anything else. That being said, I think you would have had to experienced quite a lot of life, loss, grief, denial, blame, avoidance, fear, longing, abandonment, I could go on. Any loss is profound if the attachment emotionally is strong and if a person does disappear in whatever way that may occur it's impossible to grieve effectively as you don't know whether they will ever come back. For those who've made comments on losing someone being minor and that after 3 years why are these people falling apart? The answer is you never get over any loss. Only if you experience loss would you understand what this series is trying to portray and it does so very accurately. The answers to a lot are revealed over time as is often the case in relationships. No one ever reveals everything about themselves all at once. We get to know the characters over time. I give it good as season 3 changed tempo and wasn't as good as the first two. Overall it delivered a lot of different messages on life, living, death, love and regret and many more besides. You need to be able to be patient, think and read between the lines.
