The pilot episode which will air on Sunday night was written by Damon Lindelof and Tom Perrotta and directed by Peter Berg. Perrotta’s 2011 novel of the same name served as the inspiration for the show.
A detailed synopsis from HBO was released that gives us more of an idea of the premise of the show.
"“Three years after millions of people – some 2% of the world’s population – vanished into thin air, residents of Mapleton, New York weigh the pros and cons of a “Heroes Day” tribute to the local “Departed.” Attempting to maintain a sense of normalcy in his strained community, police chief Kevin Garvey (Theroux) faces additional challenges at home with daughter Jill (Margaret Qualley), who’s lost in a cloud of apathy with her friend Aimee (Emily Meade); and son Tom (Chris Zylka), who has gravitated to a cult led by the charismatic Holy Wayne (Paterson Joseph). Also of concern is a silent, white-clad group of chain-smoking men and women called the Guilty Remnant, who team up in pairs to stake out people and places around town. As tension in Mapleton escalates, the lives of Laurie (Brenneman), an unexpected member of the Guilty Remnant, and Meg (Tyler), a recently engaged young woman, converge.”"
We don’t know much about what to expect from the pilot episode, but the episode synopsis reads, “Police chief Kevin Garvey tries to maintain a sense of normalcy in his strained community.”
If you are willing to give a new show a shot, HBO generally puts together some quality television so it will be worth checking out while we see what “The Leftovers” has to offer to the Sunday night television lineup.
