The Leftovers (2014) 

Englisch The Leftovers are not the best series for a traditional viewing, i.e. watching one episode per week. The first two episodes are rather confusing, the creators are not very candid with the viewer and it takes some time until you understand the what, the who and the why. But from the third episode onwards things become tighter and sharper, and the pieces begin to fall into place. So, if you want to give this series a chance, reserve an evening, binge on the first few episodes... and you may end up like me, applauding until five in the morning. The Leftovers is mainly an emotional and intimate drama spiced with a pinch of sci-fi, mysticism and spirituality. It’s about people who’ve lost their ontological certainty after an incomprehensible supernatural event and are unable to come to terms with it, even after three years. Each of them copes with it in their own way, usually rather weirdly. The emotional effect on any viewer capable of empathy is not small, especially when a flashback comes at the right moment and shows how these people lived before the event. Don’t look for any rational answers, look for meaning. By the way, great performances and music. I’m excited after the first season. EDIT: After the second and third seasons: The best series out there today. Those who gave it a low rating after the pilot should be ashamed of yourselves :D ()
