Why Watch It?
When Lost first arrived in 2004 on ABC, sci fi was mostly shunned by the broadcast networks and the show played down its genre elements early in its run. But it delivered an interesting set of characters and delved into their backstories while also hinting at the mysteries of the island and a grander story that was unfolding. The show would prove to be a surprise hit and would continue for six seasons and it started to fully embrace its sci fi side by its second year. When it eventually wrapped up, the finale was divisive, but the story of the characters and the island still made the journey worth the effort. Lost is an intricate tale with intertwining storylines and a plethora of characters beyond just the main cast, and it is one of those shows that deserves to be revisited and that benefits from binge-viewing.
