Addicting I started seeing the commercials for a new show about a group of people who have crashed on an island. I thought to myself, "I think I'll check that out for the plane crash". I set up the TIVO and watched the first episode (2 hours). I liked it but I wanted to see what would happen next so I TIVOed it again. By the 4th episode I didn't know if I really liked it or if I just wanted to see what would happen next. I was never a big fan of dramas and mostly watch reruns of sitcoms. Heck, I had never dedicated a specific time of the week to any show before. Now wednesday nights are an event for my family. My wife started watching by the 5th or 6th episode and was hooked and my step-daughter is hooked on it and calls her daddy every week to tell him to watch it. The writing is great, acting is top notch, production value is far above shows of the past. My extended family is all hooked. I can't say there is another show on TV that is as intriguing and enjoyable as Lost. Survivor meets the X-files.
Awesome show! Lost is a fantastic show, and the first show in a decade that is a "must see" for me. I will arrange my schedule around not missing it. What makes Lost so great are the production values. It has the look and feel of a Hollywood movie. The camera work, character development, and tone are all fantastic. Each episode is very tense, and leaves you wondering what is coming next. Each question answered opens up two or more new questions. It's really fascinating material. Sort of Survivor meets The Twilight Zone. Good show that is getting too popular for it's own good I love quality shows and this is one of them but as this show got more popular ABC treated us to endless repeats and few answers to the questions poised every week. A good way to treat it's fans that are so dedicated? Nope. I fear that this could be the show's undoing if it doesnt start throwing the fans a bone. I'd definitely pickup the DVD's if you are a fan of this type of show but expect to be a bit frustrated by all those riddles.
