Great review. I think the most interesting character is Kevin's wife though. She has her own reasons for becoming part of the GR, but we haven't found out why yet. That will be interesting to see as the series develops. Have you heard if it's been greenlit for another season at all?

["Unlike âLostâ which forever expanded the question marks around the central mystery, Lindelof pivots much more wisely here to the repercussions on his characters. For now, âThe Leftoversâ is less concerned with what happened and why, and instead on how it has altered the people still dealing with the loss and grief three years later."]

Considering society's inability to deal with mysteries, let alone think about them, I am not surprised. People hate a mystery. That is why they are so mentally stunted.

"In a setpiece clearly influenced by the controversial siege on David Koresh and the Branch Davidians in 1993…"

Or not, since the attack in Leftovers bears no resemblance whatsoever to what happened in Waco.
