TV shows everyone should watch in their lifetime

"The Leftovers" takes place three years after the "Global Departure," an unexplained event where 2% of the world's population suddenly disappeared. The characters are all dealing with the aftermath, either trying to keep their families together or running off and joining cults. What's extraordinary about the show is that it doesn't veer from the event being what it is: a tragedy. The loss of family members never becomes just another fact of life; it's millions of lost lives, and the show delves into how they effect the people left behind.
