    The pilot is remarkable, it leaves you intrigued and amazed but the episodes soon after sink beneath it's own mystery bloated by too many episodes. It's glacial pace focuses more on miniature character moments than events, which can be great television but only when well acted, which isn't the case here

    Starting with one of the greatest pilot episodes ever, first season of 'Lost' is a wonderful mix of intrigue, mistery and drama. A lot of characters, fascinating stories and good acting.

    Absolutamente fantástica primeira temporada! A premissa é única e fascinante, o elenco é maravilhoso, o cenário é muito bem explorado... Todas as histórias que surgem nesta temporada são interessantes, cativantes e algumas deixam-nos sempre com o coração nas mãos, à espera de mais e mais. PERFEITO!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. NO THEY WERE NOT DEAD THE WHOLE TIME.

    With that out the way...this show is pure and utter magic. The amount of detail and effort these writers, composers, directors and actors put into this show was incredible. Be warned this is a slow burn that doesn't reveal certain things for seasons and seasons, but it's worth every second of your time. It's not 100% perfect, it has it's problems but the overall piece of art this show came to be overrides all of it. It's all about the journey and LOST is one of the most incredible rides you will ever go on (I was also pretty happy with the destination). Greatest TV series of all time.

    The first season was phenomenal!!! I was hooked immediately. I stayed watching through the whole series, though, not going to lie, they almost lost me at Season 5, yet got back on track Season 6. A WONDERFUL TV series for sure =)

    Before emergence of Game of Thrones it were the most discussed series. Real "Santa Bararbora". Circuity of action and a stop of the narration at the most interesting moment in "Lost" are built in the absolute. 1 season has seemed excellent though to tell such short story in 25 series it is necessary to be able to try.

    Lost is, together with Breaking Bad, my favorite TV-show of all time. It has diverce, likeable characters, intriguing plot mysteries to break your head over. The show lets you guessing what's going on, and reveals every mystery in its Lost-style. Just love this show, I missed it from day one it was over. And Benjamin Linus is one of the best villains to ever be on the small screen, hands down.

    This show was a major letdown. While it starts off pretty good and sets some pretty interesting storylines they truly go nowhere with poor answers overall.
    A lot of episodes are needless fillers that lead to poor results.
    I gotta give it to the actors as they seem to be the driving force of the show. Some of the character arcs are pretty good but that's it. Overall "Lost" ain't for

    Overall "Lost" ain't for anyone, it might surprise some people and it will heavily disappoint others. Unfortunately for it the latter outweighs the good due to the episodes dragging pointlessly, raising interesting questions and being answered poorly.

    I watched all seasons and by the end, I just didn't feel any sort of fulfillment as the show wanted me to.

    This show makes no sense whatsoever. I always say that you should get your facts straight and embellish as necessary. Same thing with a television show.

    + Believeable scenario to which anybody can relate to.
    + Great cast, great acting.
    + Unique characters, each of them having a rich and interesting background.
    + The suspense is overwhelming. Plot twists all over the place.
    + Most unanswered questions are actually being answered...

    - The finale could be better.

    My favorite show so far! The plot was amazing, with so many twists and got me addicted after the first three minutes! Every character was well written and developed, and could have a show dedicated to themselves! I loved everything, no flaws. The finale was amazing and got me in tears (as well as many other moments!).

    Even to this day, the production value is astonishingly good. The special effects easily hold up. The writing is phenomenal.

    The best part of Season one is how it holds up as a self-contained story in its own right, by the end of the season, you've gotten to know every character, and they've all got their own time in the spotlight. Lost Season 1 is truly a must-see for any media lover, one of the best seasons of television ever created.

    J.J and his mystery box, is there anything even like it? A doubtful assumption! At first it might look like a classic, slow and over-dramatic tv-show, but there's nothing even like it! Team Fox-O'Quinn (Matthew Fox & Terry O'Quinn) and all the other cast are very well presented, and their characters are so beautifully visualized with all the flashbacks and character introductions. Add flawless character-depth and a lot human connection, survival and mystery to it; then you got Lost. Just the title alone sounds mysterious, and the plot is just as non-cliché-ish, odd and inventive! There're a lot subplots that are connected to each other. A lot of small details that might hint on what really is happening, and is gonna happen. This is all part of J.J’s mystery box. It's a unique way to keep the audience continue to raise questions. It's the major ingredient to a great show. You want to know more of the interesting and non-linear story, figure out what the show really is about and to solve all its mysteries. It's no surprise why people easily get attached to it.

    Lost starts pretty well; with a lot of mystery and character introductions to it. It might be a bit draggy due to all the flashbacks and drama, but that's just my own personal opinion. The more mystery/horror-genre kinda disappeared in the middle of the season, which was less great, but since it returned in the season finale do I still love this show. The only negative aspects with this season are those I mentioned above, but also the overused shaky cams, which are so freaking annoying! But other than that is Lost a highly recommended show, both from a critical and personal perspective. But it's still the remarkable characters and of course a stunning performance from Terry O’Quinn which makes Lost a fabulous show to watch over and over again.

    Lost is a show you don't expect. It is full of imagination, twists, turns, and exciting characters. Lost season 1 is really good. It developed such interesting characters that you grow to love and leaves you wanting more. The only flaw is sometimes it can drag and have a few episodes that are just silly

    + Good actors
    + The mystery of the island.
    + Solid story (on the island).

    - The background stories take of 1/4 - 1/3 of the show and it's boring and uninteresting.
    - Up to 6-8 episodes are filler.
    - Too few locations, I keep seeing the same areas.

    La verdad una de las mejores series vistas en mi vida. Yo creo que claramente puede competir con Los simpons o Breakin Bad. Sin palabras con la produccion fue espectacular y la series te atrapa.
