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

It's about seeing how people reacted to the global trauma of the Departure.

Also, I absolutely loved the Leftovers.

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

If I remember correctly, they were very explicit in all the press they did at the time that the show wasn't about why it happened. I think they learned their lesson with Lost.
