    PERFECT ENDING

    I have never seen so much perfect ending like this before. Perfect ending and explanation. Will miss the show.

    Love is all that matters.

    The most powerful man in the world & the bravest girl on Earth. I get it now: it was a love story all along.

    Touching, human, meaningful television. I couldn't be any happier with its ending and overall development. I am only grateful to have been able to watch this.

    A Masterpiece...

    This is not a normal show, I watched a lot of television, many TV shows, but none like The Leftovers. A perfect essence that gives you infinite emotions and reflections... It has the best meaning and one of the most impressive journeys of the millennium. Thank you for that. Thank you for making me think, THINKING A LOT.

    Excellent series with a perfect ending

    In series like this, that don't follow a certain template you always have to worry about the ending. There's usually more and more questions, and they never get any answers. But not this time

    "The Leftovers" have been a wonderful and interesting series with great acting. You never known what was just around the corner, and you never felt that you seen it before in other series or movies. So it was with great expectations that I sat down to watch the finale. As always it took it's time, and as always you never knew what was going to happen. And, for once, I felt that the viewer was treated with respect and was served some kind of explanation.

    Off course one can debate if it really was a concrete answer, and maybe it wasn't. But, still, the way I see it the ending was more than that, it was an insight that, maybe not everything has to be explained to 100%. Like in the title song, both from the second series and the last episode I felt like they just: "Let the mystery be". They left out just enough, and explained just enough for the ending to feel satisfying. Good Work, and thanks for all the great time I've had with this series.
