    • Trivia
      On October 14, 2014, over a month after season one concluded, HBO aired the entire season all day as a nod to the date in which the "great departure" occurred in the show.
    • Goofs
      The series is set in Westchester County, New York, but the scenery and vegetation betray that it was filmed in other than the northeastern US, especially in long shots showing terrain uncommon in that area.

    brilliant and truly original television.

    I am so disappointed to see the negative reviews on here. Damn it! I hope HBO isn't reading them, because I'm already hoping for season 2.

    I have watched 5 episodes so far, and I am captivated by it all. The writing, the acting, the lack of easy answers.

    The writers are screwing with our heads, making us squirm at every turn. Pushing us way past our comfort level. We have two choices when that happens, we can turn away or look. It is horribly confronting and painful to watch at times.

    It is the saddest town in The world. No one catches a break in Mapleton. Nothing is working right. The question most of them do not want to ask is "Why". There are no heroes here. Or rather , there are no heroes that aren't complete villains as well. There is no black and white. Endless shades of grey and no easy answers. it's messy and complex and just like real life.

    And just when I think I can't watch another second, it is so sad and painful, the writers give us a moment so beautiful and loving, so full of grace, I think I will cry.

    The show isn't about where they went. The show is about our breaking point. We all have one, and this show makes us squirm and takes our breath away and confronts us with magic and nihilism and ask ourselves "what is MY breaking point"?

    It's perfectly done.
