Leftovers 7/10
Huge part of word population vanishes without a reason. First season is rough and hard to understand, when it comes to that. I'm caught up and get the picture a little better. Instead of falling into absolute chaos, the world becomes obsessed with an extreme, whimsical sense of spiritualism. The main cult in the show so far... totally weird. Weird enough to get me to season three, which is now playing.
Main characters are awesome. One can't die, no matter how many times he tries. This season is hinting that he is some kind of messiah, but there have been several supposed saviors in the show already. His girlfriend works for the agency that busts people for faking new disappearances. She lost three kids in the vanishing, so there is some grerat drama in her job.
The last episode was the most uneventful I've seen yet but it was the best because of the wonderful drama. Totally unpredictable stuff. Last season it was the demon azazel and this year it is a strange radiation. The world scrambles for an explanation and clings to new age faiths that seem to number in the thousands, from what it seems. Everyone in the show is insane but still present enough to bond with while you watch. I'm really into some of the characters.
I started with season two first. It didn't really matter because season one was almost a dud. The story is very big and it isn't something you can soak in until near the end of season two, even if you haven't seen the first season. Every season makes a drastic change, and the most recent season has jumped years ahead of the last season's finale. Still trying to figure out what happened in supposed interim. Cults run rampant and the most recent cult is incinerating people in a traveling lab, to "send loved ones back to their departed". It almost makes sense, the way the show puts it. Oh and there is a place in Texas where no one disappeared on departure day. Strange things happened there last season. Show is still based in that Texas town called "Miracle".
