Critic Reviews

100 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Rob Owen
The Lost writers begin the season with a firm grasp on their story and a keen understanding that viewers won't object to the introduction of new characters as long as old favorites are well served.
100 USA Today Robert Bianco
Let Lost remind you of how spectacular scripted network programming can be.
100 San Francisco Chronicle Tim Goodman
Three more words: Oh. My. God.
100 New York Post Adam Buckman
The [first two episodes] are filled with mystery, suspense, action and the lush greenery of Hawaii, where the show is filmed. Be there. Aloha.
90 Newsday Diane Werts
This stuff is good. No, superb.
80 Philadelphia Daily News Ellen Gray
I still don't know where it's headed, but it feels, finally, as if we could be getting somewhere.
80 Chicago Tribune Maureen Ryan
I blissfully enjoyed every minute of Lost’s smashing Season 4 start.
80 Los Angeles Times Mary McNamara
The show is crazy, man, now more than ever, and I mean that in the best possible way.
80 San Jose Mercury News Charlie McCollum
The [first two] installments--titled "The Beginning of the End" and "Confirmed Dead"--are gripping, vivid, beautifully executed and loaded with answers to the little mysteries of Lost life.
80 Boston Globe Matthew Gilbert
So much of the pleasure of Lost is in the way surprise twists arrive completely out of the blue.
80 Newark Star-Ledger Alan Sepinwall
The Lost season three finale was no fluke. The show has got its mojo back, and then some.
75 New York Daily News David Hinckley
ABC's dense, unblinking and occasionally surreal tale of plane-crash survivors on a strange tropical island moves into its fourth season Thursday with its compass still in good working order.
