HBO's "The Leftovers" improved by ditching the source novel after season one
Tom Perrotta's novel "The Leftovers" was adapted by HBO, with the first season faithfully following the book's events. Showrunner Damon Lindelof then steered seasons two and three using his own ideas, moving away from the source material's dark, cynical tone. Critics and audiences agreed the show improved significantly once it broke free from the novel.
