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.

Sadly, I don't think Better Call Saul will win anything. Sony, who owns the IP and show, would rather put their campaigning funds behind The Last of Us, which has potential for more seasons and is a more profitable IP for the company in the end. Not to mention HBO being behind the show, and being on that network likely increases the chances of winning compared to AMC.

Homeland is gripping at times, but also kind of Islamophobic and is really dumb in a lot of seasons. Ray Donovan is okay, but nothing worth seeing. A lot of Showtimes shows start off good, but dip in quality quickly.

>FYI, the show isn't about the "why" of the Departure.

I think this is the issue many viewers that had negative or disappointed views of the show had. The show sets you up with a hell of an amazing premise, but it takes you in a different direction than what many expected to find out. You either went with it, or you didn't
