The Leftovers: The Complete First Season [Blu-ray]

Well worth watching this although a little off beat

If you aren't familiar with the general conceit, about 2% of the world's population suddenly disappears. You will not get an answer as to why in this first season, but what you will get is an incredible drama dealing with the lives of those left behind in the small town of Mapletown, NY. How do you pick up when your town, your friends, your family, has been devastated by an unexplainable tragedy that may have religious implications? How do you put society back together when there are people who seemingly want to pull it apart? This is a fantastically written, well acted story that is worth watching. Just don't expect answers to the "what happened," question.

The Leftovers isn't an easy watch... it's sad, it's somber, it's serious, and it's heavy. It's also an experience you will never forget. This first season sets the tone for the journey the final two will take you on, and it's beautiful, in its acting, its direction and its writing. A pure gem that is criminally underappreciated. Give this show a chance, it more than deserves it, and you'll be more than happy you did.

I am pleased with the services that Best Buy provided for me. I purchased these 2 items with a $100.00 gift card that my Dad got me for my Birthday. Best Buy didn't have the 2 items in stock at the time, so the nice young lady special-ordered them for me and set it up for a home delivery. And they were delivered even earlier than initially expected. I've always loved shopping at Best Buy. Thank you.

I purchased the Leftovers after seeing season 2 advertised in an email. Wow, what a crazy show! We actually binge watched this dvd over a course of three nights. I wish it was more than just ten episodes, but it was a great series regardless! 2% of the world disappears one day and the people left behind have to face why....an excellent season!

A friend recommended this. I purchased never seeing or hearing about this show. Once I started the first episode, I could not stop. I binged over three nights. One of the better dramas on television. Since I do not subscribe to HBO or HBO To Go, I must wait until it is released on Blu Ray or DVD to keep up.

The Leftovers is a huge satisfying mystery, slowly unveiling itself over the first season episodes. Leaning toward a rapture event that is taken a portion of the population, some good, some bad. No rhyme or reason to why some were taken or why. Those not taken are The Leftovers! Beware!

I am so sad that the series is ending .. a truly amazing show with intense emotion and beautiful yet heartbreaking storylines. I will watch these episodes more than once in the years to come.
