My hopes were set high for this when I saw it was on the HBO network. Sadly this is one of the few "misses" I've had from them. Only the pilot was available at the time of writing this.
The premise of the show is how people experience loss. There was some enigmatic disappearance of a large portion of the world population and the show picks up 3 years down the track, documenting the lives of a few of the affected. The focus will be on the trauma these individuals experience as they struggle with both the loss and the senselessness of it all.
Religion is a prevalent theme, many people turning to various religions to help understand why or how it might have happened.
Its a story that will unfold slowly. You wont be given many, if any answers quickly.
From a technical side it was up to par, the acting was fine, the editing and cinematography were all decent, but there was no sense of being gripped from the pilot. I think given a few more episodes it will ripen to a more interesting story, certainly the elements are there, and given a little tweaking it could be a really enjoyable introspective show. However based off the pilot alone I cant really recommend watching it, at over 71 minutes it was tedious.
