Lost (2004)

Let Lost remind you of how spectacular scripted network programming can be.

Lost is a different genre, one that may infuriate even the loyalists, but there's something impressive and rewarding in its density.

The Lost writers begin the season with a firm grasp on their story and a keen understanding that viewers won't object to the introduction of new characters as long as old favorites are well served.

This is an epic big-screen adventure done for the small screen--and done in a way that makes most big-screen versions pale in comparison.

Three more words: Oh. My. God.

The [first two episodes] are filled with mystery, suspense, action and the lush greenery of Hawaii, where the show is filmed. Be there. Aloha.

What's great about the series this season is that you can dive deep into its familiar-yet-fresh bubbling stew of physics, ? numerology, and smoke monsters...or you can just skim across its blinding-sun surface, grooving on the thwarted romances, ?the time-shifting nosebleeds, and how great Kate looks in a business power suit and heels.

Abrams and Lindelof have created one of only two new shows this season at the end of which I was yearning to see a second hour right away. (The other is ABC's "Desperate Housewives": It could be hoot heaven, could be labored camp.) I was tempted to hedge on my final grade, because Lost is the kind of show that could go anywhere. Then I realized that's exactly why I should commit to the ride.

Out of these familiar adventure-story components and a host of pop-culture conventions, Alias' J.J. Abrams has fashioned a totally original, fabulously enjoyable lost-at-sea series. Once again, he has taken an outlandish Saturday-serial setup and imbued it with real characters and honest emotions, without sacrificing any of the old-fashioned fun.

my first go to the wilderness of crazy adventure, I found myself among everyone on the plane, the revolutionary of science fiction

lost is by far my favorite show ever ever!!! everything about it is great even the ENDING!

This is the show that got me addicted to TV, love the mystery, they characters, love everything, even the ending which I thought was perfect.

The absolute best TV shows of all time for me. The first to deliver a metaphysical life-death interconnection.

Lost is a gripping and emotional mystery series with a fantastic cast and memorable characters. The island setting, twists, and flashbacks keep the show exciting and binge-worthy, especially in the early seasons. While the story can get confusing and not every mystery lands perfectly, the character development and sense of adventure make it a standout show that’s still worth watching.

Baita serie .Ela tem um formato bem inovador que junta vários personagens e cada um vai sendo protagonista de um ep, mostrando não só o presente na ilha, com as dificuldades para sobreviver, como o passado do personagem;

It has parts of Twin Peaks, Sopranos at times and other phenomenal shows. Blending strangeness with “reality”, I love the mysteries of this show and they are done so well. Every character having a backstory shown to us, with their own unique pasts. A diverse cast of people from different backgrounds, all on the flight for their own weird reason, coming down on a mysterious island. Jacob, MiB, Locke, Dharma, the Others and the island itself, all mysteries done so well. I don’t think the series went on for too long, and sure there are times when it got boring, but there are times when it was perfect. The early seasons and later seasons were both amazing in their own right, and all had good concepts. People usually just talk about the ending, or “time travel gone too wacky and bizarre” but these same people didn’t really watch the same show, some didn’t even watch it. I think most of the plots were interesting, and these mysteries were so cool, and a lot of them payed off. Season 6’s MiB and Jacob revealed came with some of the best episodes ever, Ab Aeterno, Across the Sea and the Finale, it was so fun to watch. Even the flash sideways, it was all incredible! People really just need to give it a try, and recognise how great this show really was.

Lost is the greatest TV show ever created. Unimaginable plot twists, a story layered with deep symbolism, hidden meanings, and endless interpretations. Every detail carries weight, every character represents something larger than themselves. It introduces a narrative style and philosophical depth no show replicated since. It’s not just entertainment; it’s a study of life, death, faith, and human nature. A show that redefines what storytelling can be.

Last 2 seasons and finale where not on par with the first 3 seasons and many plots were not addressed or resolved.

This was a marvel when it first came out. Nobody had seen television like this. The mystery was intriguing, the island was brutal, and nobody was safe. But as it turned out, the mysterybox-storytelling fell head first into its biggest flaw; the box was empty. The creators didn't know what the mystery was, so they had to do an as*pull in the final season to make it somewhat make sense. And they failed at it, because they'd not had the solution in mind when they began adding all the intrigue and mystery. First season, peak. Then it was a slow and steady decline after that.

Excellent TV series that presents a great evolution throughout its development becoming more and more detailed and complicated. The central phase of the TV series characterized by time travel and the presence of physical and supernatural events is expressed in a chaotic and functional way for the atmosphere of the series and to simulate the difficulty in understanding the events by the protagonists, but at times it becomes too incomprehensible for the viewer and the dynamics and reasons behind some developments of the story are unclear. Too bad for the final season that is not exactly in line with the previous ones in terms of quality and evolution of the story

Great show. The first 3 seasons are near perfect with the only issues being too many episodes drawing out the story and the main "hero" Jack being probably the most unlikeable protagonist in storytelling history. There are some episodes that pull off twists better than most feature films And i like how the last 3 seasons try something different than flashbacks every episodes. Top 10 scifi series for sure.

Kafalarda çok fazla soru bırakıp, çok azını cevapladılar. Bundan dolayıdır ki puanı böyle. Yine de tavsiye ederim.

This Mystery Box had no idea where it was going, and kept adding twists to keep the show going. The problem is that eventually we all realized that the story was actually nonsense and it ended with a dud.

The best tv series. A lot of different characters and plots. A lot of engrossing moments. :)

I was watching it While it was released and now I decided to rewatch… It’s still 10/10

Truly a generational show that I'd had on my watchlist for years, it didn't disappoint. Full of interesting characters, beautiful scenery, and crazy plotlines that continue to go off-the-wall throughout the entire show, Lost is a story all about the journey and the mysteries. I was hesitant to venture into the experience, as I'm someone who typically wants all plotlines wrapped up. I think if I'd watched Lost as it was coming out, I'd have grew to be resentful for it. Being able to experience it as a binge watch, especially with knowing that the ending is controversial and that a lot of the plot elements don't get wrapped up, allowed me to just enjoy it for what it was - a damn good mystery with crazy plots and a beautiful island. Its ensemble cast is generally solid and I felt satisfied by most of the show, as well as its conclusion. There's parts where it starts to drag, and I definitely felt a sense of being eager to finish towards the end. I don't know if I'd have the patience to watch it again, there are way too many episodes, but I thoroughly enjoyed the time I did spend watching it. Generational show.

Season 1 of this show isn't exactly perfect and quite slow but still full of great ideas. Season 2 takes the show to new heights with what's probably one of the greatest seasons of TV in history. 3 is pretty much the same as 2 but 4 is when things start getting questionable as the show really starts to feel like it's not going to bother answering many questions and it starts getting confusing. Season 5 is where things start to fall apart as it becomes a mess of so many different little things going on. Started 6 but just couldn't do it.

You binge the six seasons in the hope that in the end the final few pieces will fit and you see the whole puzzle. a complete story that makes sense. If it did that Lost would be a great series. It's just plot twist after plot twist till I think they hope you will forget the plot twists that don't make any sense whatsoever. actually nothing makes sense in the whole series. You don't get answers to any of the mysteries because the writers really couldn't come up with them. That's the only thing they keep upright till the end. Not making any sense whatsoever. People kill each other and torture each other, But why exactly never becomes clear. and ohw yeah they are all very very very secretive against each other all of them. They all try whatever they know from pretty much everybody else. Why that is? Why they can't have a reasonable frank discussion between adults about the survival situation they are in? It beats me but they are all seriously paranoia. Violence and secrecy with a little sex now and then seems to be their answer to everything. Not even the number gets explained. Yeah it is that bad.

One of my favourite shows of all time. The cast is phenomenal and its intriguing from beginning to end. Has a beautiful story with religious toneswith a mix of sci fi.
