The Leftovers is amazing if you have not seen it yet, it's a bit dramatic and sad at times so if you are super depressed maybe not watch it. It's about the end of the world, when half of the people are ascended into heaven and the show deals with the people left behind hence the name. Anyways, it does have a lot of religious overtones to it because of the premise so if that bothers you maybe give it a pass, but I never found it preachy, it's more a story about human emotion, resolve and love and it's quite beautiful.

    I love The Leftovers, I don’t even think it necessarily suggested it was for sure the rapture or that they went to heaven, it’s all very ambiguous. It’s been a long time but the ending felt more nihilistic than hopeful. Could just be my deconstructed perspective though

    Interesting a lot of people in this thread were downvoted for no reason, meh whatever

    Yeah that's true, it's been a while since I saw it but I suppose they do never really mention heaven like that. I suppose it leaves it up to the person, I was raised Catholic so I guess that's where my mind went with it :P

    Oh I definitely see the parallels too, former southern Baptist here, there’s a lot to take away from a religious, areligious, and agnostic standpoint.
