Pros
- The Leftovers is definitely a hidden gem, and it's in my top three.
- The Leftovers starts with a really big premise but it's really all about the characters and them dealing with the new world they've found themselves in.
- Just finished The Leftovers and it’s very good.
- FAVORITE SHOWS EVER • the leftovers
- Some movie types I’ve loved are: ... The Leftovers (an HBO series, not movie)
Cons
- I'm on episode 5 and I still find myself wondering why I'm watching these random people do random stuff. I've read it does get better and that seasons 2 and 3 are better.
- Parent context: If you're into that raw emotional stuff, check out "The Leftovers" - it's about people dealing with grief and loss in the most human way possible. No murders or anything, just pure psychological drama that'll mess you up...
- I would avoid the leftovers (in my opinion don’t come for me lol) as someone with a super short attention spray it was not a good watch. Very long
- Parent context: The Leftovers in HBO. Reply: I'd say this is the opposite of narratively cohesive.

Watch the Leftovers next.
I’m after TV recommendations that hit the same moody / atmospheric vibes as shows like Stranger Things, Dark, The OA, True Detective (S1), Mindhunter, and The Leftovers.
a surprising amount of people I’ve met have not watched The Leftovers, so that one would be first on the list if you’ve never seen it.
