The TV show Lost has truly been a life changing experience for the people involved, but it’s also been a big part of many viewers’ lives. If you have never seen the series, you might be wondering why. In this article, I will try to explain what Lost is about and why the series has been such a success.
Lost follows the survivors of Oceanic flight 815, after the plane crashed on an island. The people soon find out that they’re not alone on the island and that’s where it all starts. They should come up with a plan. Should they seek help? Try to communicate with the outside world? Every episode teaches us more about the island but at the same time raises new questions.
You will get to know more about the characters through flashbacks, which start on the plane, right before the crash. And as the series advances, the flashbacks go back further in time to teach us more about the characters. Every person in Lost has a story and we get to know them better thanks to the flashbacks. Some survivors turn out to be somehow connecter to each other, without them knowing. Their histories play a big part in the series and the flashback storylines connect up with the main, island story.
What really defines the show is its perfect blend of variety, the mystery, the big question and the unbelievably scenic backdrop. Ultimately, Lost is about the people and the stories they share. It is about choices, faith and compassion. The series tends to tell you the story of people and is the fundamental way to explore human nature and what people are capable of when driven to extremes.
Lost has been adopted by both mainstream television viewers as well as its fans. Because there are so many ways of interpretation the show, the series has a great fanbase. Over the six seasons of Lost, fans have been debating theories, shared their enthusiasm over events but most of all, they’ve enjoyed the series together. My advice is to watch a couple of episodes and see for yourself. If you’ve enjoyed the show, you can get the seasons on DVD or Blu-Ray. Lost is still one of the most sold TV series on DVD.
