People who may be experiencing chronic depression should probably avoid watching this show. It will not help your condition one bit. This is all of the worst of Lost spread throughout 28 episodes that never really connect to each other. Dark, depressing, and desperate characters that are never really even hopeful.
The only redeeming quality I attribute to The Leftovers is the excellent performance of this very talented cast. When fans are telling you to "stick with it to the end," they are saying that the show is so bad that it takes a world class cast -- giving their very best performances -- to make it marginally viewable. Brenneman, Theroux, Coon and Dowd had to work extra hard, using their best talents and tricks, and the show is still barely watchable.

If you think a violent action flick needs a critical analysis of the plot, script, storyline... then you're in the wrong genre. The only things that count are the believability that the bad guys deserve a really bad asskicking and that the good guys do an entertaining job of givin' it to'em. These movies are supposed to be reasonably short. Dialogue is supposed to be too contrived, too clever and above all, too corny.
Fight choreography is where an action joint makes or breaks and this flick has some very good stuff. Max Zhang is cool, clever and deadly. Bautista and De Groot are cool going at each other in a too-short battle of bruisers.
I liked this and if you know what to expect going in, you'll have fun. :)

Netflix is known for producing very good drama series. See Bloodline, for example. The Crown. The Lincoln Lawyer. Folks, "Who is Erin Carter?" ain't one of those.
The characters are inauthentic. The writers must have prepared all of the scripts the Monday after a weekend-long bender. The acting is so bad it's like the characters are reading the words from a Teleprompter. The action and fight scenes lack even minimal choreography. The whole show just plods along, from one bad scene to the next.
I made it through the 3rd episode and decided that this series probably won't be worth the pain of effort it would take to see it through. But I bravely (or foolishly) finished it anyway. I'm taking one for the team here people, and I am telling you straight up that you need not suffer as I have.
