Lost

[fyl2u]

First box set o ever watched. Could it be considered to be the first big one?

X-Files

 

[Big Toe]

You can’t go far wrong with 24 for a box set if you’ve got plenty of time.

Might be bollocks (probably is) but I heard that it was only meant to be about 3 seasons long, meaning they could wrap it up and explain it. When they saw how popular it was they decided to make more seasons, and thus had to add a load of shite that was never intended to be there in the first place, leading to loads of crap they couldn't really explain which just got left. Would explain why a good idea became so mental

I heard that episode to episode they were checking the internet to see what people in forums' opinions were on what was going on, then used the best ideas they read online for the show.

wouldn't put it past them! Once I realised they were making it up as they went along I stopped watching. Shame because it seemed interesting at first

 

[Uncle D]

Total shite.

 

[look out piano]

Loved Lost, hated the ending - the whole thing was pretty f***ing weird but has some fabulous stand alone episodes.

Aye I read that a while back and it makes sense.

 

[Geronimo]

Don't watch Lost.

It's complete garbage.

Try Mad Men and The Good Wife

Lost is pretty good once it gets passed season 1 and you understand some of the mysteries. It's one of the best TV shows ever made.

It simply is not

 

[RokerLegend]

I enjoyed the first series of Lost but it went shit from the 2nd series. I honestly wouldn’t bother and as has been said have a watch of Stanger Things.

I’ve just watched the three series of Narcos and that was really good too.

 

[HeaderDownBrown]

Did they ever explain the polar bear? I stopped watching it when it got mental

It was just brought to the island by DHARMA wasn’t it?

 

[Longy]

You do realise there is about 20 episodes per series ?

Weh when I said in a one-er, I meant just watching them at your own pace, rather than waiting one week to the next like we had to over a period of years. I wasn’t advocating him booking time off work to get it done in one sitting!

 

[Discopants91]

Sopranos to Lost is like The Godfather to Who Framed Roger Rabit.

Yes, most stuff got explained. I honestly think people just have a very short attention span so they think loads of stuff didn't.

 

[Charles Eats Grass]

Sopranos to Lost is like The Godfather to Who Framed Roger Rabit.

It’s going to be hard to compete with the Sopranos, like.

 

[Disco_Pants93]

I've watched every episode of lost barring the last one. Still haven't got round to it.

 

[nelford_safc]

Season 1-3 is mint. Even the writers get confused from season 4 onwards.

Leaves about 661,861,086 questions unanswered when it finally ends so be warned.

Agreed. No good if you like things to be resolved.

 

[Mr Vertigo]

It’s going to be hard to compete with the Sopranos, like.

Not as good but the nearest you'll get:

Mad Men
The Wire
Six Feet Under
The Shield
Boardwalk Empire
