VIDEO : Damon Lindelof Unrepetant for Bleak First Season of 'The Leftovers'

Damon Lindelof has no regrets about the bleak turn his HBO drama, The Leftovers, took in its premiere season.
At the Television Critics Association press tour Thursday, the former 'Lost' creator said, "The first season of the show we make no apologies for." He added: "We wanted to ground the world. To some, that maybe have felt bleak and depressing ? but to us, it felt honest."
The first season of the series explored what happens in a dreary New York suburb after two percent of the world's population inexplicably vanishes.
