The survivors of Oceanic Flight 815 were 1,000 miles off course when they crashed on a lush, mysterious island. Each person possesses a shocking secret, but they've got nothing on the island itself, which harbors a monstrous security system, a series of underground bunkers and a group of violent survivalists hidden in the shadows.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Lost asks its audience to suspend their disbelief in ways that can be extremely trying for the grounded sci-fi show, but its character-driven plot holds season three together.

Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times 07/07/2023
On good nights, when mood overrides mythology, you just enjoy the ride. When it doesn't work, Lost can seem like the most tedious show in the world... The new chronological orientation suggested by the season finale may remedy that. Go to Full Review

The quality of Lost remains remarkably high. It's a great roller coaster ride. But the show can be sooo darn confusing. Go to Full Review

There aren't many serious TV fans who would argue that Lost isn't currently the best show on network television. Certainly it's the hardest to follow. Go to Full Review

It’s still strangely addictive, but by this point it’s lost the freshness of that first season and started losing fans as viewers became impatient ... Go to Full Review
Tom Gliatto People Magazine 10/24/2019
I say: Let's stay lost. The first few episodes of season 3 show no weakening of the show's brilliant capacity for springing surprises -- nutty, out-of-the-blue twists -- that feel weirdly probable. Go to Full Review

Daniel S Oct 26 🔥 LOST: From Masterpiece to Madness 🔥 Buckle up — LOST isn’t just a TV show, it’s a journey that starts like pure genius and ends like a fever dream you can’t quite explain. At first, it’s everything you could want: mystery, suspense, emotion, and a constant sense that something big is about to happen. The island is eerie and fascinating, the characters are layered and flawed, and every episode ends with a twist that makes you whisper, “just one more.” The writing feels clever, the performances are stellar, and the atmosphere? Chef’s kiss. But somewhere along the way, LOST starts drowning in its own mystery soup. Instead of solving questions, it keeps creating more — as if closure was a forbidden concept. By the time you hit the later seasons, the plot has exploded into time travel, parallel worlds, immortal beings, and metaphysical nonsense that even the writers probably stopped understanding. It’s not that LOST got bad — it just got too much. Too ambitious, too symbolic, too desperate to be profound. The show that once made perfect emotional sense becomes a puzzle missing half its pieces. And the finale? It aims for “deep and meaningful,” but lands somewhere between “wait, that’s it?” and “I need a drink.” Still, it’s impossible to hate completely. The characters stick with you. The music gives chills. The mystery, even when it collapses under its own weight, is unforgettable. LOST may not have found its ending, but it definitely made history. 🌀 Final Verdict: A breathtaking start that spirals into chaos. LOST is bold, haunting, and heartbreakingly human — a story that reminds us how easily brilliance can lose its way when ambition outgrows direction. See more Its s @ItsSick Sep 23 Full of promises, all illusions. the show will never deliver any explanation to its many "mysteries". See more Conrad C @sosopoptart 02/13/2025 The third season takes the best of the previous seasons and perfects it, giving us great payoff for all the character build-up. The mysteries of the island are multiple steps closer to unraveling, and by the end of the season the characters seem to have learned what it really takes to survive. It's this season that really feels like it moves the story forward. See more Keklek S 12/13/2024 Great premise and decent acting are ruined by an incoherent plot that adds mysterious elements for the sake of shock value without ever explaining the mystery. Writers started the script with an interesting premise but couldn't find how to develop the characters and the storyline. So they just kept adding one inexplicable mystery after another to keep the viewers hooked but couldn't conclude the storyline comprehensively. Utterly disappointed. See more Alice K 11/16/2024 Got a bit slow for a bit but the end was fantastic See more Charlotte Y 09/03/2024 There was one good episode but getting sick of the cast (except Sawyer) especially (whiney-voiced Adam Sandler-lookalike) Jack, whose face is always sour and contorted like he’s constipated. They should never have killed off Locke because the characters just aren’t interesting or even likeable as it drags on. I don’t know if it’s the directing, but the acting is so passionless you don’t really care what happens to them See more Read all reviews
