An intense, intriguing and exciting mix of action and horror. [22 Sept 2004, p.E1]
Lost is a different genre, one that may infuriate even the loyalists, but there's something impressive and rewarding in its density.

It has parts of Twin Peaks, Sopranos at times and other phenomenal shows. Blending strangeness with “reality”, I love the mysteries of this show and they are done so well. Every character having a backstory shown to us, with their own unique pasts. A diverse cast of people from different backgrounds, all on the flight for their own weird reason, coming down on a mysterious island. Jacob, MiB, Locke, Dharma, the Others and the island itself, all mysteries done so well. I don’t think the series went on for too long, and sure there are times when it got boring, but there are times when it was perfect. The early seasons and later seasons were both amazing in their own right, and all had good concepts. People usually just talk about the ending, or “time travel gone too wacky and bizarre” but these same people didn’t really watch the same show, some didn’t even watch it. I think most of the plots were interesting, and these mysteries were so cool, and a lot of them payed off. Season 6’s MiB and Jacob revealed came with some of the best episodes ever, Ab Aeterno, Across the Sea and the Finale, it was so fun to watch. Even the flash sideways, it was all incredible! People really just need to give it a try, and recognise how great this show really was.

Lost is the greatest TV show ever created. Unimaginable plot twists, a story layered with deep symbolism, hidden meanings, and endless interpretations. Every detail carries weight, every character represents something larger than themselves. It introduces a narrative style and philosophical depth no show replicated since. It’s not just entertainment; it’s a study of life, death, faith, and human nature. A show that redefines what storytelling can be.

The most intriguing thing, actually, is that Lost may not even need the hoodoo voodoo. Abrams and script creator Damon Lindelof ("Crossing Jordan") have already set up a pretty compelling cross- section of earthlings as a study of simply human behavior. [19 Sept 2004, p.11]

While enthusiasts of the genre might warm to the idea of an open-ended mystery, it's suspect how well the show will hold up without a more concrete sense as to what's really happening, barring Gilligan and the Skipper showing up to whisk them away.
The Lost season three finale was no fluke. The show has got its mojo back, and then some.
The season's premiere represents pig-in-the-python storytelling--there's so much to work through, so many details, stories, characters and time dimensions to attend to, that after a while this all starts to feel like a very full meal.

Abrams and his co-creator Damon Lindelof ("Crossing Jordan") do a terrific job of piling on the plot twists, but they neglect to provide a believably textured world, or any time for the characters to interact between crises. As a result, Lost is at once heart-stopping and strangely dull.

Season 1 of this show isn't exactly perfect and quite slow but still full of great ideas. Season 2 takes the show to new heights with what's probably one of the greatest seasons of TV in history. 3 is pretty much the same as 2 but 4 is when things start getting questionable as the show really starts to feel like it's not going to bother answering many questions and it starts getting confusing. Season 5 is where things start to fall apart as it becomes a mess of so many different little things going on. Started 6 but just couldn't do it.

This Mystery Box had no idea where it was going, and kept adding twists to keep the show going. The problem is that eventually we all realized that the story was actually nonsense and it ended with a dud.
