Simple - Best Tv Show Ever - By: pancakematt, 30 Dec 2008 
Essential for anybody with a dvd player. A great tv show that will have you hooked from the opening scene of the first episode, no other tv show can compare with it.
Whoever named this place Dark Territory. Genius. - By: KM, 15 May 2008 How did I not watch this for the whole 3 years it's been running!? It is the best US TV show I have ever seen! That is a pretty bold statement really when there's shows with CSI, The X Files, Twin Peaks & 24's standards to live up to, but this show is absolutely amazing. Never before has there been a show where there are so many main characters, all of which get enough of the spotlight to really get to know them all & their backgrounds. They are also such good characters where I was switching from loving to hating each one when different things were revealed as the series went on.
I like how each episode focuses on a particular character & the events leading upto Flight 815, with the whole mystery of whether or not they are all on the island for a reason. There are just so many questions I want answers for & look forward to working out & finding out for myself as the series goes on, such as who are "the others"? What is the relevance of the numbers? Why are they on the island & can't get away? Why haven't they been rescued yet? What is the creature that lurksin the jungle?
This show is also so addictive that I watched the whole 25 episodesin just under two weeks. Every episode has a cliff-hanger ending & the flashback sequences just add more & more mystery into the whole story. I'm just so glad that I got thisin the series 1 - 3 boxset so now I can just go straight onto watching series 2, as this is not a show where you can just stop watching it after finishing a series & then wait a while to watch the next.
Overall this show is dark, mysterious, exciting, happy, sad, funny & scary all rolled into one with some of the best characters & storylines I've ever seenin a TV show. Each episode is so well made with some great locations & special effects that it feels like a short movie each time. This is now my new favourite TV show ever!
champion stuff! - By: sean paul mccann, 06 Jan 2008 Lost is a show that i didnt pay any attention too on its first airing on television,it wasnt even hype that forced me to watch it recently,it was just there to watch & so from the first episode i had no expectations but that was all i needed to see to become an addict of it.
The first episode is vastin scope & ambition,a plane crash with all the trimmings & confusion packed into one episode.From the wreckage we find death & life,the survivors round up & take to a potential leaderin the madness called jack,a doctor,the survivors start to form little friendships & await rescue but they are 1000 miles of course.
Over the following 24 episodes the show goes through different forms of pace,some have said that nothing ever really happens,this isnt the case,the show finds its successin going where it wants to at the expense of viewer demand or expectation.
Of the 40 survivors or so we get to know a click of about 12 or so,we are afforded flashbacks to their times before the crash to give us insight,to maybe see if they have anythingin common,anything at all,episodes end with cliffhangers & equally they dont,there is some very weird stuff that happens that had me shouting at the tv & confusion is part of this show,lucky for me i have season two now as well,this is a masterpiece of drawn out suspense & you will find nothing out fast,clever trick i guess & im hooked so the creators have beaten me.
Live together or Die alone - By: G. Peters, 01 Jan 2008 From the first episode of Lost i became completely addicted. Very rarely does a TV programme come along which blows you away, the last that did this for me was Band of Brother's.
The basic idea of the show has been done before, plane crash on a mystical island, passengers survive & hope for rescue but this is where the magic of Lost kick'sin & all sort's of strange happening's start scaring & surprising the survivors.
Each episode is based on one of the main charecter's & with how they are dealing with the island while showing flashback's to their past so you learn about the type of person they were before the crash.
The mystery & suspense had me hooked, the location & scenery was beutifully shot & the music compliments the show perfectly. There's not one weak episode out of the 25 & the end of season cliffhanger was brilliant & left me gasping for more.
There's something for everyonein this programme & i would be amazed if you don't enjoy it! Brilliant!!
Amazing .... didn't think so - By: Eva Minos, 28 Nov 2007 You need to watch Lost, & if you're a girl you definitely got to see it even if it's only for Josh Holloway... yes ladies, gosh he's hot!
No, but seriously, the series is amazing... nobody comes to save them, they think the "others" is the enemy, but actually the Island is "alive" & does play a role as a character. Lost is scary, & has a lot of mytery going on. It makes you want to know what will happenin season 2, 3, etc. What I find really special is also the fact thatin each episode it focuses on one of the character's past, & you understand them more, where they come from, their fears, strenghts & weaknesses. This is not a waste of money. You should definitely get it. Can't wait to see season 2 & 3.
