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.

Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe We heading into a wildly entertaining and endlessly engaging season that will find Lost doing what more TV shows ought to be doing -- going out on top. Jul 7, 2023 Full Review Mary McNamara Los Angeles Times Watching "Lost" has been a bit like being pregnant. The thrill of discovery... Until it came down to a few final weeks, fueled by fevered anticipation and the wretched, bloated desire to just get the dang thing over with. Oct 24, 2019 Full Review Seth Stevenson Slate So I've given it another day to sink in, and I'm still profoundly irritated by that ending. It rendered this whole season of Lost pretty silly. And it barely made sense on its own terms. Oct 24, 2019 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand The explanations of the final season could never meet expectations created in the first five, but the character journeys and dramatic payoffs and opportunities for redemption give us (mostly) satisfying character closure as well as narrative neatness... Mar 9, 2024 Full Review Bill Gibron PopMatters Lost rewarded the devoted, providing a sense of relief for only those who really stuck by and with it. Rated: 10/10 Oct 24, 2019 Full Review Tom Gliatto People Magazine The richest fantasy series I've seen. But its wrap-up sixth season is a drag: This spidery metaphysical puzzle seems to be dwindling down to a hokey primordial myth of good and evil. Oct 24, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Lory J I just finished watching Lost, and I feel lost without it! Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Hurley, Sun and Jin, even complicated Ben Linus, were the BEST part of the show. Fabulous acting, characterization, mood, everything, just drew me in and hugged me tight. No swearing like today's shows have, no gratuitous sex. Thank you! Special effects, awesome. Location--I wanna go there! Now here's where it gets iffy: Problem 1--The storyline was frustrating because of its jumping back and forth from present, to past, to future--not just one future but two. Huh? Highly convoluted to where, by Season 5, I just didn't care anymore. But I waited it out because I wanted to know the end fates of all the characters I did care about. Problem 2: Too many actors were introduced in the middle, even in the end. Where were they for 3 long years?? This over-bloated the storyline, which is one of many reasons why this show could have been more tightly edited down to 4 Seasons. Which leads me to Problem 3: I got the feeling, over and over again, that the writers were literally sweating out every scene, the deeper they got into the show's seasons, because of corporate pressure. You know: money. "Hey! Let's throw in a bunch of characters from God knows where, so that we can keep the show going, but frankly, we don't know WHERE the plot is going, so ..um..let's throw in some polar bears without explaining where they came from or why they're on the island." That's just one of too many instances. Problem 4: Solve a myriad of problems with gunfire, gunfire, and a whole lot more gunfire! Come on. Talk about predictability. And when Daniel in Season 5 was always weepy, I was like, "Will someone get him off the show already?" Now, as for the ending, I really disagree with the detractors about they're in heaven and meeting in a church of sorts (did you notice the statues and stained glass window icons? A cross, Arabic writing, Buddha...). Mystical, even supernatural/spiritual clues, were set up right from the beginning, with John Locke being at peace with his fate. Then the spiritual aspects quietly poked up here and there throughout. But I'll tell you, the very end, when Jack died, and Vincent laid with him...I almost lost it. He closed his eyes, screen went to black, and I could barely breathe. Despite all the problems mentioned above, this show delivered what it exactly was supposed to do, and that is BE UNFORGETTABLE. I can always go back to the island, like those flashbacks, and relive their lives again. But the first visit with them will always be the sweetest. Watched on Netflix. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/09/25 Full Review Jacob B Did Lost come to a satisfactory conclusion? Yes and no. Mostly because the flash-sideways feel like they're taking time away from the important Island-set narrative most of the time. Even before the divisive series finale, there were already issues such as the introduction of new elements in the mythology such as "Whispers" that are immediately forgotten about an episode later, a new character named Zoe who barely does anything noteworthy, the rather unceremonious resolution of the conflict that was set up near the end of season 4, subplots that feel like padding such as Sun forgetting how to speak English which never seriously inconveniences anyone & the group of Others led by Hiroyuki Sanada are forgotten about after they fulfil their main purpose and a weak excuse to keep Terry O'Quinn on the show for the final season. Of course, there's still fun to be had with acting that's as good as ever, powerfully-executed scenes, thought-provoking themes about faith and the nature of morality and a good mixture of drama and thrills, if not to the same extent as the last two seasons. The flashback episode focusing on Richard Alpert's origin story was a highlight. But who cares about all that? You want to know my thoughts on the series finale. I was well aware of the backlash surrounding it. Nowhere near the level of how things were back in 2010 after the MUCH bigger letdown of Game of Thrones nearly a decade after the fact but still a touchy subject that a LOT of people have opinions on. And I'll say that the more I thought about it, the better the ending was and all the more of a tearjerker. At the end of the day, Lost was all about the characters. It still has issues such as the questionable implications for some of the characters and how it made the subplots feel like they existed only to fill up time, coming off as ascended fanfiction, but I ultimately came to consider it a good ending in the grand scheme of things. It helps that some of the backlash was based off of misconceptions and that there's an epilogue on the DVD that helps soften the blow. Shame the epilogue only focuses on three characters. It would've been nice to get some idea of what happened to the other characters in the present-day narrative, even if it was nothing more than an offhanded comment. I understand that the heavier emphasis on mystical and metaphysical elements proved to be a turn-off for viewers but I thought it was worth it to stick around and I still recommend this show. Even if you don't care about every little thing, I still feel most of the character arcs concluded satisfactorily and in a way that made sense such as with the aforementioned Alpert. If you can't decide what to binge-watch next, I can proudly declare "Get Lost". Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/10/25 Full Review Conrad C Easily the most confusing season of the show with characters switching sides so often that there's no point in keeping track of who's with who, because it'll change in five minutes and you were likely wrong to begin with. The writers try to wrap up all their loose ends, but seem to struggle to weave them all into something coherent. The way it ends has my respect, but the journey to get there in this last season was rough. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/25/25 Full Review Derek R The best TV show ever made. Not even close to be honest. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/25 Full Review Noah P Absolutely amazing, acting was incredible. I will never stop praising/recommending this show 15 years since after its ending Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/25 Full Review Keklek S Great premise and decent acting are ruined by an incoherent plot that adds mysterious elements for the sake of shock value without ever explaining the mystery. Writers started the script with an interesting premise but couldn't find how to develop the characters and the storyline. So they just kept adding one inexplicable mystery after another to keep the viewers hooked but couldn't conclude the storyline comprehensively. Utterly disappointed.
