Downloaded the first (pilot) episode from Sky On Demand, and will give it an airing tonight. Looks interesting.

Roger - an interesting couple of opening scenes then things slowed down a bit, and it was interesting without being gripping thereafter. About the aftermatch of an 'event' three years earlier, when 2% of the world's population suddenly disappeared. Three year on, it's how the people of one US town are coping with the loss.

Very disappointing.  Very lame lead and supporting characters.

Compare it to excellent The Village on BBC and the plethora of excellent characters and performances to realise what a shower of mediocrity it is.

Ainsley Howard as Norma Hankin and Juliet Stevenson as Lady Allingham deserve BAFTAs imo

Only interesting thing about The Leftovers is that former Dr Who Christopher Ecclestone is it.

I love a good drama - British ones like Broadchurch or The 7.39 and American stuff like The Walking Dead and even Lost to start with.

But I watched this pilot episode earlier and thought it was guff. Deliberately non-sensical and weird so the viewer feels they have to stick with it to find out what happened. Concentrated so much on being quirky and mysterious that it didn't bother with anything else.

Felt at the time that it was very much like Lost, which I lost patience with as it got longer and longer and refused to explain anything. Found out this evening it is from the same creator, who says of The Leftovers “If you come into this show wanting to know where these people went and why, then you’re not going to like it".

And for that reason amongst a number of others, I don't like the product, so I'm out.
