It's awesome how good the series has aged. Seeing it all again also made some storylines make much more sense. I even think the ending makes much more sense now. That's something I was totally blind for the first time I've seen Lost.

It's an awesome series that paved the way for the beautiful landscape of high quality tv series we enjoy today.

The first season of Lost was one of the most exciting and intriguing TV experiences I can remember. By the third season I was starting to realise that maybe I'd never get any answers and maybe I wasn't supposed to. Maybe they were just making it up as they went along? By then I was in too deep and needed to see it to it's conclusion. And that conclusion was more disappointing than I could have ever expected. Lost is like hard drugs- at first it gets you high and wanting more. With each episode the hit becomes less intense and the need for another increases. Eventually you are just broken and unwell.

Lost is one of those once in a lifetime show..i just started rewatching it again after a long time and its still holds up even to this day. 10/10 stars

Lost is absolutely, without a doubt, among the best tv series I've ever seen. What can possibly be said about this amazing show that hasn't already been said. If you read any best show's of all-time list I guarantee you that Lost will be on that list. The one thing I recommend though isn't don't be doing other things while watching this show, give it your undivided attention because there is so many twists, easter eggs and little details that you'll miss if you aren't paying attention. Now, the ending wasn't as good as people hoped for but that doesn't take away from the 6 seasons and 120 episodes that came before it. I'll never understand why people will rate a show low just because the ending wasn't great. Lost was on 6 years and over 120 hours of tv that you enjoyed, a few bad moments at the end doesn't take away all that time you loved it. Obviously it would be better if the ending was as great as the show was but when a show is as good as Lost it's hard to satisfy all the fans. I didn't even think the ending was that bad, it just could've been better. As a whole though, Lost is among the best television series ever and is a must watch.

With so many high-quality shows ending or getting cancelled recently (Friends, Frasier, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel), and with the decline in quality of many others (The West Wing, Smallville), not to mention the egregious rise of turgid and tasteless "reality" programming, I'd just about written off TV as an entertainment medium. I was seriously considering ditching my TV and cable subscription in favour of my computer screen and broadband Internet connection.

Then along comes "Lost". I missed the first few episodes, but was able to catch up thanks to BitTorrent. Now I'm hooked. There are several things to like about this show, but here's a quick list:

1) Outstanding, intelligent, layered writing. There are multiple mysteries here, and for every answer we get, more questions emerge.

2) Rich, complex characters. Just when you think you've got a character pegged, you find out something new about them that's often surprising or even shocking. I'm enjoying watching the various relationships emerge and develop.

3) Strong performances. This is a remarkable cast of mostly journeymen actors with a couple of newcomers, and they're all turning in star-making work. Even some of the cameos have featured recognizeable, talented actors (e.g. Mira Furlan, Victoria Hamel).

4) A mysterious and fascinating setting. Of the four main story elements you learned in school, plot, character, theme, and setting, the latter is often the poor, neglected cousin. Not here. The island is dangerous, beautiful, creepy, and undeniably intriguing. It's like a character unto itself. Part of the fun of this show will be unravelling the Island's secrets.

5) Thematic depth. This isn't just a soap opera on a desert island. There are rich metaphors and themes to be mined here, such as on the challenges of morality; on the nature of communities and civilization; on our relationship with nature/the environment; and on spirituality, even mysticism, as well.

I'm grateful to see this show is a hit. Too often lately I've committed to a quality show early on ("Wonderfalls" being the most recent and much-lamented example) only to have a jittery network cancel it prematurely. I'm hoping "Lost" will have a long, successful run--if its creators, cast, and crew keep up the level of quality they've shown so far, I'm sure it will.

People say this about a ton of different shows but Lost really is one of the best tv shows ever created! It is one of the most original and thought provoking shows ever and even though a lot have tried, there has never been another show like it. It has some of the best storytelling ever put on tv. You'll have to have patience as you watch becomes answers to come as quick as you'd like but they come. It has some of the most shocking mysteries and twists ever put on television. It will keep you guessing and on the edge of your seat throughout the entire series. I couldn't recommend this series enough, it's absolutely one of my favorite shows ever!

LOST transcended TV Drama writing and encapsulated theme theroy when it burst onto the scene in 2004. That's 14 freakin years ago, and the show still holds up. Seriously. Jack, Kate, Saywer, Hugo, Locke, Sayid and yes, even Benjamin Linus' story lined were crafted in a manner few, in any have since. My then-16 year old Son said it was the best written show of its time, and now that he's 30, and a writer himself, maintains that commitment to this day: all the other show follow in the shadows of LOST

Adventure? Check Survival? Check Sci-Fi? CHECK Jaw dropping twists and turns? Check Brilliant writing, acting, and directing? Check

Despite the above average number of episodes, this show always managed to stay fresh and feel original. That said, it also never strayed off topic or felt like it was losing its original point.

I could go forever and ever, but you get the point. This show is a must watch. At least watch the first 4 episodes, from that point you will decide whether this show is for you.

There are a lot of great shows, like GoT that many regard as the best out there. However you can't argue about lost, it will forever be legendary and the show all shows look up to.

Possibly the greatest television fantasy/science-fiction show of all time, despite lots of loose ends that didn't get resolved in the shortened final season. And that's not just because of the late/exceptionally vague references to (Egyptian, Greek, and Roman) antiquity, or the Manichaean theme of Light/Darkness (which it shares with Game of Thrones). I will forever associate it with commuting, and our two summers in Australia.

At first blush, "Lost" seems like an impossible concept: a bunch of people stranded on a mysterious island. How many story lines can you POSSIBLY take from that before the idea's been sapped completely dry?

It's a legitimate concern, but in the case of "Lost," totally unwarranted. "Lost," unlike many shows today where the plot drives the characters, is in fact the opposite: the characters drive the plot. This isn't "CSI" or "Law and Order," where each week is a variation on the same theme. On "Lost," you have a group of fascinatingly different, tragically flawed characters who must somehow learn to survive together, while at the same time trying to keep their secrets hidden. That's a method for disaster. After living together for a long time, the characters are going to find out it's impossible to keep their pasts a secret.

Yes, there's a monster on the island. Yes, there are mysterious happenings.

Yes, a sense of dread often hangs thick in the air. But to me, the exterior problems presented by the island itself are NOTHING compared to the INTERNAL problems the characters must face, both with themselves and with each other. That's where the REAL drama lies. And it's fascinating to watch.

I never realised I would like Lost, but I think it is just great. I thought it wouldn't be my thing, but from the first episode I was hooked from the word go. The acting is exceptional from all involved, nothing like the amateurish acting I have seen before. One of my favourite characters is Hurley, he is hilarious, there is one episode when he hurts his foot in the sea and he screams at Jin to "pee on it!" Matthew Fox is quite a hunk, and Evangeline Lilly has that star quality that draws you to her. Another favourite is Charlie, he is a great character, same with Locke. The characters are so well developed, and you learn a lot about them. From the excellent photography, the chilling theme tune, the clever plot lines and the well crafted scripts, Lost is a rarity of excellence in my book. 10/10 Bethany Cox

I've just watched this entire show for the first time and am blown away by the effort and talent that went into every single episode. The plot twists and betrayals make you feel as confused and blind sided as the characters themselves which is a magic that TV doesn't really do anymore. Absolutely incredible watch, suspenseful, hilarious and at times, devastating.

I spent the entire show trying to figure out the answers for the many questions I had but still was not even remotely prepared for the perfection of the final episodes and the ability of the writers and crew to be able to pull off such a large feat. Absolutely perfect show, will forever be one of my favourites.

While some shows have ups and downs, Lost has peaks and higher peaks. Lost is one of the most interesting pieces of fiction I have ever watched and is so meticulously thought out and well planned. Every detail in the show is cared for and supposed to be there and everything gets answered one way or another. The best part about it is all you have to do is sit back and relax as you uncover the mystery and story of Oceanic Flight 815. Some people don't like how the ending turned out but the story had a nice and full conclusion. What I (and most people too they just don't want to admit it) hated most about the ending is that it ended. The characters and actors are incredible and you become deeply attached and engaged in the show.

When LOST was Showcased some 15 to 20 Years ago... EACH and EVERY new Episode was a highly anticipated Life Event for Me!

BUT.... FIRST... Let us FOCUS on the Title´s Content and Context:

For me, everything changed on Tuesday, September 13, 2004. Just days before, I did not even know it existed. (In this case, the 13th really was my LUCKY day!) Yes, on that date I brought home the first season of LOST, on DVD. When I finished giving my English classes at 9:30 pm, I thought I'd see a chapter.

. Wow, I kept watching until 12:45...four chapters in total! If I had not had to give an ENGLISH Class at 7:45 the next morning, I would have stayed up all night, mesmerized with this awesome series! I'm even contemplating suing ABC, which produced LOST, to force them to label the box the series is packaged in with a: a sticker on the face of the DVD: "WARNING: This Series May Produce Extreme Addiction!".

Without exaggerating in the least, it could easily be the most captivating series that has come to the small screen in years. It combines almost all the elements that one can imagine: action, suspense, drama, comedy, and terror, with picture postcard backdrops that abound on the island of Oahu in Hawaii. Masterfully written by a group of half a dozen writers, LOST is a classic example of how Series have a tremendous advantage over films: Because of their duration, they can develop characters with incredibly more detail, layers and depth.

For all of us who had experienced LOST, it was no surprise that come Emmies night, it took the award for best drama! And like most series reaching fame for the first time, the team responsible for LOST; cast, producers, writers and directors, did so from virtual anonymity. Something that changed rapidly after the Emmy wins, having its DVD's at #1 in sales, and the overall resounding success with First Season audiences!!!

LOST is an Australian/US commercial flight that crashes on a remote Pacific island. There are 48 survivors: a group of very diverse people, who, by circumstance, are forced to work together to survive! Surprises abound in every chapter. (Which, of course, would no longer be surprises if divulged here, right?) To the extent that the 24 chapters progress, "Flashbacks" are used quite skillfully to fill us in about past details of each important character in the series.

Interestingly LOST is produced by Touchstone Television. When the Disney Corporation wants to produce a program or film that is in no way suitable for small children, it is released under this name. Pretty Woman with Julia Roberts and Richard Gere was a Touchstone Release!

. To all of you who are able to watch it, I guarantee that LOST is a delight, a very healthy addiction, indeed!.....

ENJOY! / DISFRUTELA!

Any comments, questions or observations, in English o en ESPAÑOL, are most welcome!

I am fed up of the same writing way of American serial writers. They always try to to extend the play by adding characters and stretching the story line unnecessarily. You will always have a jack(good guy) You will always have a Sawyer(bad boy) But both are working together in broad sense. Every new character is introduced strongly and it loses its worth as play moves on.(Ana Lucia, Juliet, Eko, Tom) Ben type characters continues to win because writers have to stretch the story with their win. Original story fade away. Many a things remain unexplained or a lame explanation is provided. When a serial becomes predictable because of these and many other reasons then they kill some main/good character to make it unpredictable.

Write something new man!

When I first watched the show I thought it was great, but felt that there were too many unanswered questions. 14 years later I binge watch it and now I understand.

Lost is amazing from start to finish in every way. It's a great story, with many great story arcs and they all draw you in and keep you engaged. There are so many characters with interesting stories and how they all tie together is amazing.

Many of the mysteries don't get explained or fully explained until the last season, so pay attention, and keep going. Unless your memory is great, don't break for too long.

I can't say enough great things about it. Enjoy the show and I'll see you in another life!

I went back to rating this TV series from 9/10 while the series was still running to 6/10 a couple of years after they wrapped it up and here is the reason why: LOST had its great TV moments. They had episodes like "The Constant" that are easily some of the greatest achievements in TV history. But those are just a few examples and usually episodes that had a whole completed plot and did nothing for the overall progression of the series.

If you have watched the series from beginning to the end you know that they never had any idea where they were going with the story. They just made up the plot from season to season and put in these mysteries, riddles, unanswered questions and plot lines but never really answered any of it. As a storyteller, no matter if you write books, TV, movies, video games, etc. you have creative control over your story. You decide how the story begins and how it ends and how it has to be interpreted. Of course you can leave things open to interpretation by the audience, some of the best stories do. But if you leave EVERYTHING open to interpretation it becomes a "do it yourself"-adventure for your audience. And that is plainly bad storytelling, no that is horrible storytelling. Overall this makes LOST a bad TV series, despite having its great TV moments.
