I FOUND A GEM I FOUND A GEM!!! Mr Go Fuck Yourself you gotta watch this. It's GREAT!!! The Leftovers is an American television drama series created by Damon Lindelof and Tom Perrotta airing on HBO. It is based on Perrotta's novel of the same name.[1] The pilot was written by Lindelof and Perrotta, and directed by Peter Berg.[2] The series stars Justin Theroux, Amy Brenneman, Christopher Eccleston, Liv Tyler, and Ann Dowd. It premiered on HBO on June 29, 2014.[3] The Leftovers takes place in the wake of a global "Rapture" and centers on the people who were not taken but were left behind in a suburban community.[1] Copied from Wikipedia. I am too lazy to take out the ref numbers. WATCH WATCH!!

I don't know what to think of it. It leaned towards being very melodramatic, ham handed and cliche nihilism (I mean come on, rebellious teenagers? Sigh.), annoying main characters and just a very forced dark tone. It wants to be deep but it fails so far. I'm gonna watch the next episodes to see if that improves though, because the premise is pretty good.

Why worry about preserving your virginity or reputation. Why worry about ANYTHING when we could go POOF tomorrow. And the main teen....considering her mom left her to be in a cult, her brother left her to be in another cult and her dad is off crying in his beer...... That family disappeared without disappearing and she's gonna either spiral or be the only one that truly deals with this. I like all the little mysteries. WTF IS UP WITH THE DOGS? They disappeared....and then......didn't? And why take it out on the deer? The animals know something.

The idea behind the cult was interesting. Nothing matters, nothing means anything, smoke like you will die tomorrow because you probably will.
