Few shows probe grief, faith, and psychological unraveling with such ferocious compassion. Every episode feels like peeling open a new layer of heartache and asking if it’s possible to find peace in the not-knowing.

A series drenched in mystery and grief, but written with such empathy and poetic resonance. Every episode threads aching humanity with dreamlike, almost mythic lyricism.

End-of-the-world vibes done right. Emotionally heavy, but you won’t be able to look away.

The Leftovers worked so well because it focused not on the flood, but on the Ark, on the people left aboard, watching the skies for a sign of something new.

Roger Ebert

The Rapture becomes symbolic of any major life-changing event, particularly one in which you experienced loss, and the concern over another great blow coming in the future.

IGN

The Leftovers: Season Finale Review - 'The show, at its core, is about broken people and shattered families, inherently far more expansive and interesting than just 'why did people vanish?'

Variety

What’s left is undoubtedly interesting; whether it’s worthy of rapturous praise is another matter.

Drama/Fantasy/Mystery: The intriguing premise of 'The Leftovers' captures the essence of loss and mystery that engulfs a New York community.

Vulture

The Leftovers is all bleakness all the time. Parts of it feel as though the show is emotionally blackmailing you into watching: What, don’t you care about these poor, miserable people?

IMDb

I watched the first episode of The Leftovers when the series debuted and found it intriguing but not that engaging.

IMDb

the series is just pointless, almost everyone wants to die, everyone is confused, lost, scared, it's overdone with drama and hallucinations
