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 its ups and downs and a lot of confusing moments. But the show is perfectly casted and perfectly acted and with only 1 episode in the whole show I can say is bad I feel the rest is amazing. Even if you don't like the ending or direction it takes you have to give it props for being unique and outstandingly produced. Ending also is very easy to understand but somehow people don't.

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.
The cast, setting and production quality are excellent. However a frustrating bungee cord of good and bad writing exists spread across an unreasonably long number of episodes and seasons. Needless to say if they mafe this today it wouldve wrapped in 10 episodes but in the early 2000's it had to be a 25 episode per season mess of regurgitation. That said the first couple of seasons were and are still fantastic but as the show gained success it became clear that as the writers are forced to produce more content across a huge number of episodes that more is revealed about the island and its inhabitants, and so the less interesting and thrilling the hook of watching the show is. I stayed to the end but looking back its clear this was a ride or die show running itself (and those poor writers) into a silly corner of mysterious nonsense that just wasn't a great way to end IMO. There are far too many unresolved storylines and bait and switch endings that are just ignored or addressed very briefly. Very frustrating! Back in the day though this was a glorious ride to be on and still remember the great water cooler conversations around the show that were brilliant.

A failure. A big failure. First two seasons were good. After that , i mean what was that? Just a lot of filler episodes with few good episodes. Should have ended up in 50 episodes not 120!!!
