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!
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.

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
This is a really good program with very good writers. There are many subplots that keep you interested and waiting for next week for more answers to the many growing mysteries surrounding the island where a group of plane-crash survivors have wrecked.
I also like how the writers go into the history of each main character, making them more interesting for the watcher. This looks to be a hit.
There are a lot of mysterious goings-on at the island and a lot of drama between the characters of the show.
Great to have some TV that doesn't involve CSI, cops, lawyers or doctors!

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.

- TriviaThe character of Sawyer was originally meant to be an older, slick, suit-wearing city con artist from Buffalo, NY. However, when Josh Holloway forgot a line at his audition and subsequently kicked a chair in frustration and loudly swore, the writers liked the edge he brought to the Sawyer character and decided to write Sawyer as more of a Southern, darker drifter instead.
- GoofsJin and Sun are married and share the family name "Kwon", which becomes an important plot point in the final season. However, when Koreans marry, the wife never takes her husband's family name. In fact, it is not even permissible in Korea to marry someone with the same family name, except in rare circumstances.
