Why isn't this on sky box sets or Netflix?

Would read the thread but don't want spoilers. In a word, is this worth watching? Cheers!
Yes! You won't regret it.
Umm...so I just binged this over the course of a weekend thanks to Nilsson and RIP. It's one hell of a show. That second season was top tier stuff. I wouldn't recommend binging for the sake of your mental health; the first season especially can get relentlessly depressing.
And I love the soundtrack.

I also binged it this weekend due to the high praise it was getting on Caf!
The timing worked out perfectly actually considering the new season's just started.
I just read that it has pretty low ratings in US and that's partly the reason why it's ending after this season, such a shame. That season 2 was one of the best I've ever seen.
Yeah from what I've read we're lucky we even got a season 3.
I was definitely expecting that to be Kevin's dad 
I'm glad you followed the advice!
Opening episode was as intriguing as ever.

Just watched the opening episode. Didn't quite understood the opening sequence though(amongst other things which is consistent with this show). Still quite good!
I think, maybe, the opening sequence was supposed to illustrate that people in the past expected an event like the "departure" that this show is centred around, but it didn't actually happen until the one in this show. Not sure though, might be open to interpretation, as the closing sequence is, although I have read the show switches to Australia for at least some of this series, which I think is maybe going to be the last one, due to poor ratings.
It was confirmed this was the last one long ago!
Brilliant opener to the season. Love the music in this show!
Starting to feel a bit gutted this is the last season. They've done such a brilliant job of character development it feels such a shame to wrap it up this quickly.

As I said, that's what I thought.
Cheers make sense, I think.
The first season covered the whole of the book and I believe that they only ever envisioned it as a 2 or 3 season run.
Well that was a fecking great opener
Going to wait till June and binge this. The reviews are exciting to see.
Didn't think it was possible to hate Liv Tyler that much. She's great in that role.
Agreed, I think it's her soft spoken voice that adds something to her evilness.
This show has some absolute random moments of hilarity

And her devious smile.
I am going to wait for all the episodes this time. Too much high quality TV coming up, Better call saul, Prison Break, Fargo and Leftovers.
Such an offbeat episode.
The written by credits looked like names from the Wu Tang Clan name generator.

That was bananas.
Brilliant, but absolutely bananas.

If you don't start every new season of The Leftovers thoroughly confused, you're a smarter man than me.
This show is fantastic.

This episode can be summarized by this 
What are people confused about? Feel like I'm missing something.
No idea.
I mean it was absolutely batshit crazy but I didn't come out of it confused as to what had happened.
Being a huge fan of Perfect Strangers, obviously I loved it.
Now all the way up to episode 7 of season 2. Great show. Great music too. Pixies, Black Keys, Jim James, etc.
Gotta feeling that what happened to the three missing girls won't be addressed by season's end. Also, wtf was the deal with them running naked in the forest earlier in the season. Did I completely imagine that?

I always saw that scene as a loose biblical nod - Ev{i}e running through the [J]arden of Eden. And just a general moment of freedom/rebellion for the girls.
Here's a quote from Lindelof himself:
There's a bit more to his quote (but he really isn't saying much, IMO) which is a tiny bit spoiler-ish so I cut it out.Lindelof said:
I knew David Gulpilil was gonna pop up at some point, there was no way they were gonna set it in Australia and not cast him in a role.
This episode featured 2 songs that were in GTA San Andreas.
There's a connection, I'm telling you!

S3 spoiler
It seems Matt is ill again. Nosebleeds in the episode before, and when Kevin Sr. called him he was in cold sweats shivering. This parallel's the departure - he was celebrating the all-clear the day it happened. Thus, confirming the apocalypse is coming?
The use of music in this show, particularly this season, is fecking incredible.
I do miss the season 2 intro, though.

That was a fantastic episode. Whole thing just flew by.
