The Leftovers Season Premiere Review
HBO's original plan was to launch The Leftovers after the Game of Thrones season finale (which had 7.1 million viewers and would have put more eyes on the new series), but - as Deadline points out - The Leftovers took a short production break following the completion of its sixth episode and that ultimately led to the delay.Over all of its Sunday airings, the premiere pulled in 2.1 million viewers.
