Phillip S. I have watched every episode about 4 times lol last season was a bummer but yes this is one of the best shows ever I can always watch it and I'm sure I will again. You can think what would I do in this situation, which character would I be more like if it did happen to me Im closest to Charlie I liked him and his scene was one of the saddest on the series.'Not Penny's Boat'

Anna Ok, I watched it more times than you, I don’t even know exact number anymore. Totally understand about Charlie. Greatest hits. Absolutely heartbreaking.

Brian Addison I’d share the “best show ever” feeling if it ended with season 5. I thought the last ep of s5 would’ve been a perfect series ending

Brian Addison Desmond one of TVs all time best characters

Juliet Shalu Castillo @brian_addison Heck yeah, brother.

Nadia To be honest, I'm really jealous of you all right now. I've only watched the first few episodes, and I expected to like it way more than I did. What am I missing? Should I simply push through and get to know the characters better?

Phillip S. I tried to watch it a couple times before I started to like it, I would push through a couple episodes and then see how you feel it's really good

Alexandra Knowlton Definitely push through! Binging the show is a bit more difficult than when it was airing weekly. I find the first two seasons a little dragging on rewatches but the payoffs to all those episodes and the backstories are so worth it. Maybe take little breaks after a few episodes. No need to rush through it if you aren’t feeling it right away.

Phillip S. One thing I hated is that Mr.Eko didn't last long. I loved his story and the Battle him vs Locke, his connection to the Island and his stick. I was really upset he didn't last long

Carla Craddock Agreed. I thought they killed off a really great character too soon. I was really disappointed by that as well.

Anna Interesting, I thought it was a right time. Locke constantly struggling with different concepts of being and has a strong opponent for each one, so they have to change

Alexandra Knowlton I remember thinking his leaving the show was a bit early too. But it was due to off screen issues, not the writers’ intentions. Same with a few other characters.

Carla Craddock One of my favorite television scenes of all time comes from Lost. It didn’t drive the plot but provided a weird glimpse into the character of John Locke. It was the first episode we’re he smiled with an Orange in his mouth. I was hooked from that moment on.

Anna I totally get that. I think it was metaphorical crack in the door that opens the Mystery of it all.

Kam Mackinnon The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, HIMYM, and fargo are better along with others but i like lost.

Alexandra Knowlton I love Fargo. Definitely a contender for best of all time but I think the last season of HIMYM and the finale that aired were huge letdowns for me and a lot of fans. Breaking Bad was a bit over hyped for me and such a bummer. I had a really hard time finishing the final season. That show is nowhere near the top for me. (But that’s just my opinion of course)

Samantha Blizzard I have watched this series more times than I can count, it’s absolutely a comfort show and feels like home to me. The character development is done so well and each character’s storyline pulls you to them even if you thought you hated them. I was ok with the end, I remember watching it as it aired on TV, and the writers saying they knew from the beginning they wanted to start the first episode with Jack’s eye opening and the final episode with Jack’s eye closing.

Anna I soo understand, rewatching it is like spending time with old friends. I saw it the first time after it aired. I never watched shows on tv, before streaming, but I also watched all behind the scenes that I can find. The whole concept was created beforehand . I cried my eyes out at the finale the first time, and every time since. I think it was very powerful after exploring how all these people might have been under different circumstances. And the idea that we are all in it together, rega

Anna @Juliet_Castillo there is also a “what might have been “, as an additional layer, which is absolutely brilliant. I miss it to, I come back to it often.

Alexandra Knowlton I loved this show! (Still do!) My fave character is definitely Desmond but Charlie and Sawyer are up there too. I actually loved the ending. The only episode I remember actively disliking was the one that gave the backstory for the island. I think because I didn’t need answers to a lot of those specific questions. And the questions I did want answers for were still not answered, but it’s no deal breaker. I’ve rewatched this show several times. So good.

Jessica Hotard Watch manifest very similar

Anna I have. Not at all.I liked Manifest, but it's one of the examples where the whole show is built on one idea from Lost, whereas in Lost it's just part of many.
