I avoided this because Lost was such a let down. I generally don't like mystery boxes and it sounds like 18 hours into it and you still aren't getting any answers. Like lost. Some of the shit will never make sense or be answered I would fear, and that has kept me from watching this show.

SO, how much like lost is this mystery box show?

Stylistically it's similar, but The Leftovers is much better than Lost, imo (and I was a pretty big fan of Lost). It's been a minute since I watched the Leftovers, but there's not a bunch of dangling unfinished story threads hanging all over the place, like Lost, if that's what you mean.

There's mystery that's unexplained sure, but not a ton of loose ends (that I recall).

The Leftovers is among my very favorite shows of all time.
