SPOILER ALERT: The final scene (very touching)
The LEFTOVERS played several seasons on HBO and recently finished for good. It's the story of what happens when 10% of the earth's population simply disappears (all at the same time) and the "leftovers" (those that remain) are left wondering what has happened. Where have the others gone? How do they go on? This series is pyschological and surreal as it attempts to explain the inexplicable and the manner in which different people cope with the loss of loved ones. It is similar to the famous series LOST in that it has a lot of good character development yet is so strange that we cannot really understand half the time what is real and what is not real! It kept me hanging on, nonetheless. I am glad I saw it through to the end. Unlike the series LOST, which made me feel totally disappointed by its ending, the Leftover's finale was amazing! (The story of Nora and Kevin is just one part of this multi-faceted series)
A good, strong man she found, but prior grief
consumed her soul, and Nora could not stay.
Pretending her own death, she was a thief
who stole his heart and then ran far away.
Years passed. He looked for her with strong belief
she had not died. How happy was the day
he found her, for her healing had begun,
and Nora’s war with sorrow now was won!
