Ellen Gray's weekend TV picks: 'Leftovers,' 'Treehouse of Horror' and more
* THE LEFTOVERS. 9 p.m. Sunday, HBO. Nora (Carrie Coon, pictured with Justin Theroux) wakes during an earthquake in her new home in Miracle, Texas, to find boyfriend Kevin (Theroux) missing. She assumes he's vanished, as her previous family did. The truth will turn out to be more complicated. I'm loving this season so far, but not pretending to fully understand it.
