As usual the quote in the title is severely out of context. He was saying that the first season was made in a way that deliberately chases off some viewers.

Is there a “The Leftovers” controversy I’m missing?
It’s an excellent show, but if you don’t like it then yeah, stop watching. I didn’t find it controversial, but it has religious themes, which can be personal to people, and death/loss is a heavy subject.
For those that haven’t seen it the basic premise, as the article states, is that 2% if the population disappears one day. So then what happens? That’s the show.

2% disappear or 2% are left?

2% disappear, 98% remain.

That’s fair, it’s more a world that knows that book/film exists, which is where the religion comes from.
