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.

TV may be an excessive medium, but the brilliant, groundbreaking Lost may just show it that quality can beat quantity. Go to Full Review
Frazier Moore Associated Press 07/07/2023
Four seasons in, the show demands even more of the viewer than it used to. But those who have stuck around know that rewards richly outweighs the frustration. Go to Full Review
Mary McNamara Los Angeles Times 10/24/2019
Lost is a show that has long required surrender, to the creative process if nothing else -- I often found myself rooting for the writers as much as for the characters. Go to Full Review

... gets back on track with dynamic shifts in character alliances ... and a dramatic change in style: the defining flashbacks are replaced by flash-forwards, which tease us with glimpses of the characters who make it off the island... Go to Full Review

Daniel S Oct 26 🔥 LOST: The Brilliant Disaster We Can’t Stop Watching 🔥 Strap in, because LOST isn’t your average TV show — it’s a rollercoaster that starts like a masterpiece and ends like a beautiful train wreck. The first few seasons? Pure gold. Mystery, emotion, survival — all wrapped in a story that feels smart, cinematic, and alive. Every character has depth, every flashback hits, and every twist leaves you on the edge of your seat thinking, “What if this really means something huge?” You’ve got monsters made of smoke, secret hatches, bizarre experiments, and a story that teases greatness at every turn. But then… the chaos sets in. Instead of tying things together, the writers just keep adding more — more questions, more timelines, more mythological nonsense. Time travel, magic islands, gods, afterlives — it’s like the show threw everything it could at the wall and prayed it would make sense. Spoiler: it doesn’t. By the end, LOST feels less like a story and more like a riddle that forgot its own answer. The finale tries to be emotional and spiritual, but mostly just leaves you staring at the screen, asking, “Wait… so what actually happened?” Still — and this is the crazy part — you can’t stay mad at it. The characters, the atmosphere, the music… they all hit hard. LOST might’ve fallen apart narratively, but emotionally? It sticks. 🌀 Final Verdict: LOST is a show that aimed for the stars and exploded halfway there. It’s brilliant, frustrating, unforgettable — and even when it’s nonsense, it’s the kind of nonsense you’ll never forget. 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 Brant D Apr 8 Up until the finale of this season, I genuinely believed this was the greatest show I've ever had the pleasure of viewing. Every single character is beautifully written with such immense detail. The way their storylines are intricately connected with such precision makes the show stand out from any other I've seen. Four seasons in, and they still manage to fill gaps and ask new questions, while other mysteries remain unsolved. So much is being thrown at you all at once, but it's all captivating enough to keep you in the loop. I remember watching this for the first time in 2013, and to this day, I can honestly say I’ve never had a show stick with me like this one. I constantly find myself in situations where it feels like divine intervention is at play, and I just think, “Damn, my life’s like Lost.” See more Conrad C @sosopoptart 02/20/2025 You can kind of see that the show was supposed to end here, this season could have wrapped everything up nicely (especially if it had been full-length), but instead everything that happens feels pointless because it's going to drag on for much longer. The flash forwards mostly replace the flashbacks in this season, but instead of increasing the suspense they mostly filled me with dread of what is to come. New characters don't tend to get much development due to the removal of the flashbacks. 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.
