Episode Rankings: The Leftovers

The Leftovers is a pretty brilliant show, though it's not for everyone. It's incredibly ambiguous, with every single episode and plot point left just vague enough for you to come to your own conclusion. But even if you're not a fan of that, there's still a lot to love in the great acting and writing, and the great way it explorers grief. I also liked how episodic The Leftovers is, each episode feels like it stands as its own individual film. Here's my ranking of its episodes:
