The Leftovers: Season One

You see, Sweeney? This is what commitment looks like. I set my mind to something and I accomplish it. On that note, how's Daredevil treating ya?

To be fair, it was easy to binge watch this show. While not the best thing to ever hit TV, it can certainly hold my attention. Not to mention the premise (on its own) is pretty great. What does the world do when roughly 2% of the entire human population inexplicably disappears? Can we rebuild ourselves? Or are we doomed to fail?

I feel like its only appropriate that Lost's own Damon Lindelof helped create the TV adaptation of the book. Much through Lost you hear over and over the "Die alone, live together" mantra. It seems like that applies to the central problem of this show. People are doing their best to survive. And to survive, they strive to come together. Only this time, the different factions of people that come together all have different visions on how to survive. Seeing how these ideals interplay with one another, how characters respond to them, that's what makes this show truly engaging. 

Curious how the book compares to this show. Does the first season mirror it exactly? Seems like the season finale could have been a proper ending to the whole show what with Kevin getting his "family" back and all. But clearly there's still more to tell. 

Already powering through onto season 2. Shouldn't be long until I'm all caught up and read for the final season.

Speaking of which... Sweeney, any chance you're going to be all caught up on Netflix's Marvel shows in time for Luke Cage?
