Lost (Season 1)

Lost is a massively popular US mystery drama series which is based around the passengers of Oceanic Flight 815, which crash landed on an island in the middle of nowhere. Over the course of the series, we are shown that the island has quite mysterious features; ranging from healing abilities (one character boarded the plane as a cripple, but can now walk) to strange polar bear-like creatures and a mysterious black smoke. Each episode is combined of ongoing plots and flashbacks which allow us a greater understanding of each character's past experiences and motivations in life. The series has been a huge hit from the word go, but it's also been quite ...  Read the complete review

Now a review about the series Lost could be a very unpopular thing due to the apparent massive difference of opinion as to whether it is genius or frustrating and annoying! Well i think it falls into both sides myself! I remember seeing the series advertised origionally, thinking it looked interesting, especially being a LOTR fan and seeing Domonic Monoghan - but for some reason forgot about it and didnt give it any thought until series 3was being shown! At this point my new fiancee had watched the first 2 series and loved them so we bought them on DVD so i could catch up! As a result i ended up watching the first 3 series all on DVD over a short ...  Read the complete review

Lost is an American drama, originally aired on american network ABC, 2004. It has become famous for supposedly frustrating viewers by providing no answers to its mysteries, answering a mystery with another mystery.

The basic premise of the show is thus: A flight from Australia to Los Angeles crashes on a remote tropical island, and the passengers have to fend for themselves while awaiting rescue. Over the course of the season, it becomes apparent that rescue is not coming, they are on no ordinary island and ...  Read the complete review

I was intrigued by Lost, as it began several years ago, though I never personally got into it. I was aware it was into its fifth season in the US, so I bought this thinking "how many stories can they get out of a plane crashing?" I was curious, and after watching this series, I still am. After buying the DVD, I settled down for a night in with some snacks and a hot drink, expecting a nice lazy plot for a Sunday night and some nice beachy shots and maybe even some moist Evageline Lilly (my theory on why Lost does so well relies on her + dampness). I was taken by surprise. The series is well thought-out, mysterious, and very realistic. I ...  Read the complete review

Admittedly, once I heard the hype about Lost, I thought, here we go again, another programme thats like all the others. How wrong I was, Lost is an extremely intelligent series that has one hooked from the off. It is a mysterious, interesting, intelligent programme that is set in the majority on the numerous islands, whilst also flashing back to the past. This could be confusing for some, but generally speaking it is pretty obvious when the flashbacks occur. The first series opens with a great scene that immediately grabs one's attention into what has happened and one gets introduced to some of the main characters. From the start it is an immense ...  Read the complete review
