This week the pod is looking at a television program we love, the first season of Damon Lindelof and Tom Perrotta's The Leftovers. We get into themes of religion, madness, and bureaucracy and how they manifest in response to the rapture-like event depicted in the series. Is the "sudden departure" more similar to perennial pod topics 9/11 or the pandemic? Does the show engage in "magical realism" or is it just a carefully constructed depiction of the ravages of mental illness? What is the deal with cults that emerge after an apocalyptic event? These are just some of the puzzling quandaries with which we engage in this episode.
We get into spoilers for Season One of The Leftovers.
