If you missed a single episode you would indeed be completely "Lost". If you paid attention on the other hand it was the most rewarding show on television at the time. It had a great diversity of characters with different personalities, all stranded on a mysterious island doing whatever they could to survive. The mystery kept us guessing and left us wondering and I felt like a kid on Christmas every time they released a new episode.. Up until a certain point that is.
I dare say this show didn't stay the course even tho some of you claim it did. Starting in season 4 they got off track, they introduced a bunch of new and un-interesting characters with annoying traits and they practically switched from drama to science fiction.. Suddenly time travel was implimented, and that's not what we originally signed up for.. Some of you claim the ending was perfect even tho our questions remained un-answered and that the show itself had nothing to do with the mystery but rather the characters surrounding it.. Which is complete nonsense. If it wasn't about the mystery, why add in the first place??
The answer is simple: To keep us watching!!! Lost is not the first show in history to trick their viewers but it felt more severe because we had high expectations, similar to Game of Thrones from a certain point of view.
I will admit, I teared up in the final episode. It was emotional and well crafted. Lost is a fine show with great characters and a great story to go with it. Still I can't help but feel a little disappointed.
7/10.
