The survivors of Oceanic Flight 815 were 1,000 miles off course when they crashed on a lush, mysterious island. Each person possesses a shocking secret, but they've got nothing on the island itself, which harbors a monstrous security system, a series of underground bunkers and a group of violent survivalists hidden in the shadows.

Bill Goodykoontz Arizona Republic Lost is rip-roaring fun, an adventure that's best undertaken if you just sit back and enjoy the ride without thinking about it too much. Jun 29, 2023 Full Review Mike Duffy Detroit Free Press With a little bit of prime time luck, Lost just may become what it sets out to be -- a mesmerizing thrill ride with a brain and more than a little humanity. Rated: 3/4 Jun 29, 2023 Full Review Steve Murray Atlanta Journal-Constitution It's the one new show of the season where you really will want to know what happens next. Rated: A- Jun 29, 2023 Full Review Fran Chico Fotogramas 'Lost' taught us in 2004 about spoilers, cliffhangers, flashforwards, and easter eggs. [Full review in Spanish] Aug 21, 2024 Full Review Glenn Garvin Miami Herald Lost -- the single most promising show of the new season -- manages to evoke 9/11 fears without exploiting them, an impressive achievement in itself. Jun 29, 2023 Full Review Alan Pergament Buffalo News One doubts it will become the monster hit that ABC so desperately needs, but at least Lost is interesting enough to make the network look like it is headed in the right direction.

Noah B. One of the best shows of all time. Very rewatchable Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/09/25 Full Review Boopi H one of the most mysterious, magical shows ever presented. nearly every episode came up with new, often mind blowing, twist that left me totally transfixed & begging for more. hated seeing it end. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/16/25 Full Review John S Great acting, poor writing. The show is great at giving you questions without providing answers. it covers plot holes and its many issues by throwing more questions at you. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/03/25 Full Review james o the series was conceived as Once Upon a Time crossed with elements of Robinson Crusoe, describing the concept as parts Carnivale, Lord of the Flies, Gilligan's Island, The Prisoner, Scooby-Doo, Starstruck, Twin Peaks, Stargate, Survivor with a Cast Away element. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/23/25 Full Review Robert H It has some good actors and moments. The problem is that the storyline is so stupid at times it drives you crazy and it constantly highlights the worst of human nature. It wears thin pretty fast and you feel disgusted an entertainment company spent so much money on such BS. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/01/25 Full Review Ted T Absolutely awful, acting and story line is terrible. The worst series I have ever watched. How it gets such good ratings is beyond me Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/27/24 Full Review Read all reviews
