The Leftovers is your next binge-watch after Lost

 

So youve finished your big Lost binge-watch, and youre still feeling the itch to stay in creator Damon Lindelofs strange, mystical science-fiction universe. Look no further than his big TV follow-up, The Leftovers, which premiered in 2014 and ran for three seasons. Based on the novel by Tom Perrotta, who co-created the show, the HBO series tells the story of a mysterious event called the Sudden Departure, in which 2% of the worlds population suddenly disappeared off the face of the planet without a trace. The Leftovers follows police chief Kevin Garvey, played by Justin Theroux, as he struggles to hold his family and his town of Mapleton, New York together in the aftermath.
