Based on the bestselling 2011 novel by Tom Perrotta, the series focuses on denizens of the fictional town of Mapleton, three years after the fateful October 14 day when 140 million people – 2% of the world’s population – disappeared without a trace. They must begin to rebuild their lives after the loss of more than 100 people.
In a revealing episode that found the former GR member out of the cult and actively trying to save other members, Amy Brenneman brought impressive depth, range and emotion to a character who's been building up to a breaking point since Season 1.
For the third time in as many episodes, the perspective is shifted on The Leftovers. But thankfully, more questions continued to be answered than asked.
Everyone on The Leftovers wants to believe there's a right way to live in the post-departure world, but is blind to the fact that any belief, any action that gets a person through the day is the right way to live.
Season two isn't a more upbeat show, but it's one that is moving out of the stasis of depression towards a more dynamic engagement with why it's so sad all the time.
The jarring nature of 'Off Ramp' comes from how quickly it snaps the viewer back into the mindset of season 1 and how it explores the repercussions of those ten episodes with such a specific and intimate field of vision.
"Off Ramp" was exceptional, taking us back into the sad, soul-sapping arms of the Guilty Remnant and all the irrevocably damaged people who find solace within its ranks. Haunting, moving, and thought-provoking.
The episode ends on a fairly promising note, as these two running a cult in order to save people from a cult can only lead to some interesting television.
