Binged The Leftovers right after Station Eleven and it's not even close

Station Eleven had me feeling things The Leftovers never did, I think because the characters actually felt like real people instead of just being miserable for three seasons. Has anyone else hit that wall where a critically acclaimed show just leaves you cold compared to something more grounded?

Three episodes into The Leftovers and my cat knocked over a plant during the silent police scene.

I think because the characters actually felt like real people instead of just being miserable" - yeah, that's the thing. The Leftovers was just wall-to-wall misery with no payoff. @faith_price7, did your cat survive that police scene or did it take the plant down with it?
