This is hands down the most entertaining thing on TV. Lost requires an investment of staying with the show and not missing and episode, but it's well worth it. There are so many pay offs and wonderful scenes and interactions. While it is easy to have a favorite character it is also easy to switch favorites as you get to know them and the layers are peeled back. MINOR SPOILER... Sawyer really comes into his own this season and demonstrates how one of my least favorites can be seen in a new light as we learn more about them.… Expand

The best TV show ever. It is surreal beyond anything ever seen on TV. It is addictive, mythical, engaging, intriguing, fascinating, thrilling, confusing and tense. It has complex character development, beautiful scenery and a story which has completely captured my imagination.

Insanely good television.

This is the best acted, best written show on television. Much is made of some of the more mythological elements of the series and the show can at times get bogged down in the crazy sci/fi. But the reason the show works so well is that the writers and actors use these fantastical elements to heighten the development of the characters. There has never been a show with as many well rounded characters experiencing the full range of human emotion and emotional conflict. The writers are also not afraid to wait two or three seasons to pay off story suspense. It is a series made for a thoughtful and devoted audience and is unapologetic in this pursuit. There will always be crime procedurals for those who like trite and accessible self contained bow-wrapped television but Lost fills the void for a viewer who wants to be rewarded for commitment and who wants to enjoy the full exploration of character development.… Expand

I'm REALLY glad the season began without all the characters running around with machine guns. I am nuts about the storyline of LOST but by the end of Season 4 I was ready to stop watching because it was just a bunch of people running around in the jungle shooting each other. Who knew that the island had a machine gun under every palm frond!? Now that the story has become mysterious and fast-paced again without relying on macho crap, I am hooked. Can't wait to see what happens when they all get back to the island. The psychic Asian guy is obviously Marvin Candle's son... but who is Charlotte? Is she really the little girlfriend of Ben when he was a boy?… Expand

There's T.V. shows, and then there's Lost! It is by far the most engaging show on T.V. dare i say..ever? I do. It is not the type of show you just pick up from nowhere however though, you must start from season 1. If you do invest in it, you will find the most engrossing character driven show you will most likely ever see in a long time. It deserves the be among the classics. Season 5 picks up like a freight train and does not let up. It also has my personal favorite episode of Lost thus far. Episode number 8: 316. The episode is just one of the reasons Lost is the best shows. Stop making excuses already and watch this show..Now!… Expand

I like the way Cuse and Abrams admitted that they "could still screw this up." But by now, I'm not sure I would care because the show has delivered so many dazzling twists and dramatic whoppers. In my next life, I'm coming back in some parallel universe, as a TV producer, so I can create a show about plane crash survivors on a (nearly) deserted island that travels through time. Oh, yeah.… Expand

I don't think I've ever given anything in my life a ten before Lost. This truly is the perfect show. I feel so entertained and enthralled by every episode. This is a show made by people who truly love what they are doing and love the stories they are creating. I don't see that in other shows that are boring and predictable compared to this one. I think everyone should appreciate Lost because they're will never be a show like it. They haven't introduced a serialised show that isn't borderline soap in the past couple years because Networks are playing it safe again. I am so so so so sick of watching shows that don't challenge or exite me or make me so so so gidy when the peices fall into place. That's another reason why Lost is so great. It's just like CSI in that you try and guess the mystery and once its solved for you, you feel so awed and amazed by its brilliance and originality. I love shows that demand I actually pay attention. And its not particularly high browed either. You just have to pay attention, which is a shame these days because people have such short attention spans. I will be so sad when Lost is over. I really will be. No other show has ever dared to do what it has done all the while being incredibly touching, riveting, entertaining, emotional and engaging. I hope it goes down in the history book as one of the best sci-fi dramas ever.… Expand

This season is starting out slow as far as content goes but since there is only one season left after this then I am sure LOST will deliver the goods. Or not.

A good but confusing start, hope some questions are finally cleared up this season.

Excellent mind boggling show.

Lost is no doubt an amazing show with a little bit of everything from every genre, but this season seems like it's leaving out to much and the episodes need more to them. but other then that it's still the same great show it always was!

So far every minute of every episode has been meaningful. Not only that, what movies and t.v. shows frequently lack, Lost has it: great characters, writing, acting, setting, and innovative plot ideas.

LOST is, undoubtedly, the best TV show ever. Especially the fourth and fifth season. And it's still getting better.

A great start for the new season.

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. Keeps you thinking, and forever on your toes. Great acting, scripting, location, plotline, twists, editing.....I could go on and on. One of the best things to ever be on television.

Even my most diligent attempts to forecast the resolution of the seemingly endless intertwining story arcs have yielded 0% success rate. That's what makes this show so fascinating. Sure, it has it's share of hokey moments, but compared to the production line drivel that pollutes TV, it's Citizen Kane. It is the best serial drama ever created. I dare you to deny it.

One of the best written thing I've ever seen or read. Everything's just great : the actors, the story, the episodes, the characters... We've got answers. We've got blood and twists that just might blow your conception of what a show can deliver.

If you aren't currently watching Lost, you aren't fully living life. Start at Season 1 and try and catch up to where everyone else is. You won't regret getting lost in Lost.

Absolutely fantastic first season. The premise was unique and fascinating, and the ensemble cast was wonderful. I honestly couldn't believe how good this show was. I was hooked, but then their best writer left after season 1, and they proceeded to make those OTHER seasons. The fact is that the remaining writers never even came close to recapturing the clever storytelling of season 1. The additions to the cast starting in season 2 were all disasters, and from that season onward the writers just seemed to have no solid direction whatsoever for the story. By the end of the series, it established itself as one of the greatest disappointments in television history.… Expand
