List of episodes
"The Book of Kevin" is the first episode of the third season of the American supernatural drama television series The Leftovers, based on the novel of the same name by Tom Perrotta. It is the 21st overall episode of the series and was written by series creator Damon Lindelof and supervising producer Patrick Somerville, and directed by executive producer Mimi Leder. It was first broadcast on HBO in the United States on April 16, 2017.
The series is set four years after the "Sudden Departure" – an event which saw 2% of the world's population (approximately 140 million people) disappear and profoundly affected the townspeople. The previous season featured the characters moving to the town of Jarden, Texas, where no one vanished during the Departure. In the episode, Kevin is now the Chief of Police in Jarden, although he still questions his own mortality after surviving so many death scenarios.
According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 0.895 million household viewers and gained a 0.4 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received critical acclaim, with critics praising the prologue, performances, writing, new storylines, themes and curiosity surrounding the final scene.
