Lost Video Island

Figured there might be some interest in this show as it has some Lost vibes and is Damon Lindelhof's new creation.

Synopsis:

Quote:

The Leftovers takes place in the wake of a global "Rapture", which caused the unexplainable disappearance of 2% of the world population. It centers not on the people who were taken, but on the ones left behind, in the fictitious suburban town of Mapleton, New York.

I'm having a little of a hard time with the first few episodes because it is very slow and morose in parts, but can see myself potentially getting sucked in down the road. The acting is very good and there are lots of little mysteries to get invested in. Paterson Joseph as the villian is great and Justin Theroux is very good in the lead role.

I'm watching! I read the book and when I heard Damon was onboard for the production I thought it would be worth a watch. I also love Liv Tyler, but I agree its going so slow right now. i hope it picks up its pace because its a great setting for some drama. and agreed about Justin Theroux, he's rocking the lead role

Glad you are watching it too, Kat. The Liv Tyler story is interesting with the smoking mute hippies. Looking forward to finding out more about them.

I'll put it on the list!

Really enjoyed the latest episode. Christopher Eccleston was great in it. It was still depressing but the story and acting were especially strong. Hoping they have more single character focused ones in the future. Loved how they are tying stories together like the weird insurance woman being his sister.

I am getting a bit more skeptical of the Guilty Remnant cult thing. Thought they were harmless before but not so sure now. They remind me of scientology.

Thought the last two episodes were outstanding. I officially love the show now

Anyone else still keeping up with The Leftovers?
