I started watching The Leftovers, and stopped after 3 episodes because it was so depressing I wanted to jump off a building. I tried to clear that experience from my mind, and was successful, until a couple years later I started noticing the second, and what was then the third season of the show had been getting constant 8-10 star user ratings, which had me questioning my own sanity. I decided just for the halibut I’d reinvest some time muscling through the remainder of the first season of pain … so much pain, to see what all the hubbub was about in the next season. Glad I did, because it became amazing, as was it’s third and last season. But I would not revisit that first season if you backed a Brinks truck up.
I put the Leftovers down early as well as well, but now I’ll consider soldiering through. I assume you can’t just skip S01 altogether? That’s what I did with Parks and Recreation, but it’s not a drama.

no. you can’t. you need the canon/backstory. gird you loins, and dip yourself deeply into the pain, the second and third seasons are worth it.
