As the following review by Moze Halperin illustrates, the
critical acclaimed TV series "The
Leftovers", makes an excellent subject or case for a study on
literature, film, theatre, sociology, psychology, theology,
comparative religion, philosophy and/or spirituality. Or in the
local Singapore context in Junior College, Knowledge & Inquiry
and/or Theory of Knowledge.
Before reading Moze Halperin's review below, in case
Singaporeans are unfamiliar with "The
Leftovers" (because Mediacorp never screened it on TV), lemme
just say that in a nutshell, the TV series begins with a clearly
supernatural event, one that is portrayed as unexplainable by
*both* science *and* religion, and deliberately sways back and
forth between atheism and religiosity (as experienced from the
perspective of the various characters struggling emotionally,
psychologically and religiously in attempting to come to terms with
the unexplainable event), refusing to commit to *either* as the
correct truth. Now go on and read the review below.
