Kinda funny the most skipped part of the video is the stupid sponsorship
@@SpinaTube1🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hohoho no
I doubt they'll deliver to England but thanks 😊💜🐾👍
First few seasons were so good at keeping you hooked on the mystery. Then it turned out the story was a mystery to the writers as well
Why do you say this?
@@kuhpunkt because they wanted to end the show but production wouldnt let them so in the end they were pulling everything out of there asses and had no idea where the story was going
@@Tyler-si2rj You're contradicting yourself. They wanted to end the show with the ending they had in mind for a long time. They knew where the story was going.
@@kuhpunkt no. I'm not contradicting myself. How about do research. They were not allowed to end the show. So they had no idea where the story was going. Like I just said.
@@Tyler-si2rj I did the research. They knew where they were going. They just weren't allowed to pull the trigger for a while... that's why they were treading water a bit. Then they agreed on an enddate 3 years in advance. After season 3 they mapped out the final 3 seasons... they knew pretty damn well where they were going.
Season 1-4: Mystery Mystery Mystery Mystery
Season 5-6: Shit, we actually need answers to these mysteries
What?
Correction! Mystery BOX!
@@Atheismo9760 No.
@@kuhpunkt That's what JJ Abram calls'em.
@@Atheismo9760 Abrams didn't write the show.
This has got to be the most convoluted and confusing show ever. It was interesting watching this recap though. Just hard to keep up with so many timelines and characters.
confusing for a gnat maybe, but outside of that no
Because the writers were just making crap up as they went. Anyone that tries to say they understood it all and how simple it was and act like they are so much smarter are just fools.
@@zyzzyz7035 I’ve practically watched this show time and time again growing up, and it’s always made sense to me. It’s not that complex
what's important is the mass know the characters were alive during the island events, that everything was real except what it's shown in the flashsides
Watch out for the Lostrolls. They hate it when you criticize this sloppy, meaningless TV show because they think they’re in possession of some Deep Understanding for having endured it.
I’m still confused 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
About which part
@@JacobArvizu about the entire thing. It just gets way to confusing by the end.
You need help😂😂😂😂
Watched the whole series, watched the recap, nothing makes sense still🤣 I bet it's several storylines, someone just wrote into something continuous🤣
I understand the importance of the shows title.
Hahah
🤣😂😂
Good shit
For myself, the biggest disappointment of the show was Walt. He was initially presented as having somewhat mystical psychic abilities and was even kidnapped by the Others, but noting really came of it. What was the intention? I never really got that. Great review and production all the same, bro. Cheers!
Have you watched "The new man in charge" ? It’s the epilogue.
@@kananimiranda3376 Some people of the show are special. Walt is one of them. He is supposed to have a closer relationship with the island than most of the other characters. This is what happens to the MIB before he "became" the Black Smoke, or also to Hurley for example. Walt is destined for the island. But not at the moment or during the time chronicled in the series. It's vaguely explained in the epilogue. Hurley tells Walt, "You just need to get back to the island, that's all. It's where you belong. It's where you've always belonged."
This is what happens when you start something and didn't realize that the child you had stories for would have a severe growth spurt. The show first 3 seasons was probably only 6 months time frame. Walt grew extremely fast by end season 2
Yes! That story line went NOWHERE! Even their dog Vincent disappeared in a poof!
@@mommiedearest5337 Vincent was always on the island, he ended up living with Rose and Bernard who decided to stay.
I remember watching Lost when it was on air, binging years later and still not quite getting it until I learned the writing history. They definitely made everything up as they went along after season 2 😂
What does that even mean? And is that supposed to be a criticism or something?
David Chase finished the first season of the sopranos, and then sat down with his writing team to figure out what plot threads and questions should be continued/answered in season 2, and even onwards.
That’s typical of your average television series. Lost didn’t do that, Lindelof, Cuse and Abrams created the concept. Abrams helped with funding, and with pitching the show to ABC. During that initial pitch meeting, Cuse and Lindelof laid out what the basic story was, what the castaways would encounter, and how the basic story of a first season would go.
They were given 14 million dollars for a pilot, which was the most amount of money for a tv pilot ever. And according to both of them, from there they were off to the races writing. By the end of the second season, they had most of the show storyboarded. And by the time of 2007 writers strike, they already had all of season 4 written, so the show didn’t have to go on hiatus.
This idea that Carlton and Lindelof made it up week to week while Abrams forced them to throw in mystery boxes is ridiculous, not true. And wouldn’t even take away from what they made if it was true.
@@thebigragu9952 Cuse wasn't part of the initial idea. He joined in September 2004, 9 months after Abrams and Lindelof took over.
Abrams also didn't help with funding. Why would he? That was none of his business.
They also didn't have most of the show storyboarded. Maybe outlined to a degree, but storyboards are something very different.
Also they didn't have all of season 4 written. They had the first 8 of 16 planned episodes written. There was a five week hiatus.
@@markdaly1648 Mark, what on earth are you talking about?! Jeffrey Lieber was a writer who was hired to do Lost at first, not the head of the network.
Also Desperate Housewives wasn't thrown in the trash. It wasn't taken to Fox or anything. It was an ABC show...
@@kuhpunkt Abrams is the biggest reason the show got its 14 million for the pilot. Everything else is minor misunderstanding.
When Lost first came out in 2004, it was simply monumental. Watching this every week in a pre-CZcams world was simply something you couldn’t replicate 20 years later.
Also, probably the most impactful pilot episode in US television history since Twin Peaks in 1990.
"Lost" are not the people in the island. Lost are the people who try to understand the story.🤣
The story is not hard to understand.
never watched sounds too...far fetched shit i think....
After 3 seasons; my daughter and I were so lost it was ridiculous. We stopped watching it as we were tired of going down the rabbit hole.
😂
@@elenavonpavel-pitts3442its my second time watch now and it makes a lot more sense. First time you watch, you expect a realistic tv show about survival. While it still is survival story of those people who actually crashed, it takes supernatural turn with Jacob. However, if you pay attention to detail and accept the show as a sci fi mystery, it actually makes sense (minor plot holes you can live with)
Every season finale had the feeling of "oh this is due tomorrow?" for me.
Except for MASH, Cheers, Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Friends--not saying they were the best endings, just that they did not feel "rushed" and "chaotic".
This actually cleared up the series finale for me. The inherent problem with shows with large ensemble cast is that to explain the show is difficult but you do it well.
That Penny/Desmond episode still remains to this day my favourite episode of any series ever
@@kananimiranda3376 I ended up rewatching the episode after this video. The constant makes me cry every time and I'm not ashamed to admit it. =D
My favorite parts are the ones that involve time travel
Same brother
AKA "Previously on LOST"
Man, that last season was a whole bundle of crazy.
Lost might confusing for most, but successfully delivered the short term purposes... Watching Rose meet Bernard, watching scattered survivors together again, etc etc are heartwarming and satisfactory.
I love all the cast too. Ben, Locke, or Jack on borderline of being dislikeable, but somehow never crossed the border.
True
Thank you. I watched the show religiously for years and it was good to get the recap in this format. When taken as a whole the twists and turns were more soap spear than the sci fi adventure I remember it. Thanks for recap
I followed it religiously as well. I still believe that first season is some of the best television I have ever seen, its definitely in the top 10. The first season I find incredible and even though the seasons deteriorated in quality (just my opinion) I still loved the show . Anyway the reason I wrote this comment is to find out what you thought about the last season and the ending in particular? Did you despise it? Or just think it was a great ending?
In all fairness, public opinion on sci-fi television series was very different in 2004 than it is today. Lindleof and Abrams actually lied about the plot while pitching Lost because a sci-fi TV show would have likely been shot down by a major network like ABC at the time. IIRC the network heavily pushed them to tone down the sci-fi aspects even after the show had become a success. I fully believe that if Lost hadn't been produced we wouldn't have a good number of the sci-fi/supernatural shows that we have today.
@@patf9903I think there’s a difference, or at least some sort of scale, between sci-fi and super natural.
I think something that ‘appears’ to plausibly be possible to the average person in reality but just requires an extreme amount of luck, genius, etc has a lot of appeal. That’s what I’d consider closer to being “sci-fi”.
And on the opposite end then there’s full blown super natural. Stuff that’s clearly not really possible and just pure fantasy.
While super natural stuff can be entertaining, it’s often not - because it can literally just be made up randomly by anyone tbh.
True sci-fi takes alot more effort because it forces the creator to make it appear realistic.
LOST seemed to be headed in the direction of sci-fi originally, which was why it was so appealing. We could originally kinda sorta imagine ourselves being in the characters’ positions, no matter how unlikely the circumstances may have been.
But then it just went completely super natural and it seemed like they were just making stuff up on the fly to weirdly justify the plot. Disappointing.
Go birds
This was the first show that I officially obsessed over. I personally loved that the ending was about the characters more than solving all the mysteries, even though your recap did a pretty good job of summarizing the main ones! Tremendous show. I got really nostalgic watching this.
They did not solve the mysteries because they made up so much stuff along the way and had neither the intention nor knowledge how to explain anything
@@bra24hnt52 That's nonsense. Why do you say this?
@@kuhpunkt Because it is the truth? Lol, everyone knows they...wait for it... Lost it.
@@hristiyanhristov2480 It's not the truth.
@@kuhpunkt its true look it up, there are other videos explain it, the creators were runningg out of ideas they initially wanted to end the show in season 3/4 but NBC kept them hostage and keep milking the show until it was no more, so the writers and creators keep writing new stuff just to have episodes but in reality not a lot of things make sense.
Why do I get the impression that this show was written to just be mysteries and twists in the first half, and a half baked effort to adress those mysteries in the end.
Your videos are amazing dude. Keep them coming man 🙌
Just when I needed this. I was looking for a recap of this show last week because I didn't have the time to sit and watch the entire show, thanks man
I think this was the most clear and concise explanation in summary of the show and I'm still just as confused as when I watched it. IMO the show went on for about two seasons too long and they really should have cut out most of the time skipping stuff.
Thanks for this, I never watched this despite it being the only thing people at school talked about. Appreciate the condensed summary 👍🏻
I need to rewatch this show - this recap finally makes the show make sense!
I’ve watched this series 2 times in my life…was thinking about watching it again recently…thanks to this recap, I just bought myself another decade to wait. Thanks 😂
i need to repeat it
this FINALLY gave me clarity on this whole thing
I remember watching season 1 and being hooked. I don't remember why I stopped watching after that first season, but after hearing from friends and family what was going on in the show. I'm glad I stopped early 😂
That's a shame. It's still my favorite TV show of all time. You should give it another try and binge watch it, you might realize it was actually great...
Love your videos. Saves me a lot of trouble and research.
I loved this show. The acting was always excellent and the production values were consistently high even if the writing, at times, was uneven. The storylines were bonkers but the characters were interesting, enigmatic and likeable despite their flaws and convoluted relationships. Their redemption arcs were satisfying; and that, ultimately, was what the show was all about.
I love how lost's legacy lives on in nuzlocke
amazing recap!!! a truly iconic show
great timing on this, was just on a Lost clip binge
Thank you for this. I struggled to understand the show when I binged watched it.
im just glad people love this series as much as i do.
Wow, I watched all... And did only understand 40%! Thanks for the tutorial!
Thank you so much for the recap. Now I see I didn't really understand anything about the ending of the series at the time. Now, things make much more sense with this recap. It was so many years watching it and reading about theories that it was really easy to get lost.
You spared me several days, my friend. Thanks a lot.
The most convoluted show in the history of television
Great recap! Thank you!
This show still remains my all time favorite show ever. Nothing will ever be as Lost. And no one who did not watch it from 2004-2010 will ever know how fun it was, not necessarily because of the story, but because of the online community that Lost created. The theories that came out each week, the analyses and detective work, the chats and message boards filled with people banding together to enjoy the show and uncover its mysteries... it was so much fun! And the fact that you couldn't just binge it was awesome, because the anticipation of the new episodes was part of the excitement. Yes, the show wasn't perfect and some of the story resolutions could have been better, but in the end I enjoyed it and I will forever call it my favorite TV show. :)
In my opinion, you have to be able to rewatch a TV show without getting totally pissed off for it to be a favorite. I loved Lost until the last 2 episodes. They totally blew it. I remember rewatching it and feeling the exact same anger again. I will never watch it again all the way through. It was fun while it was on air, but the writers really spat in the face of all Lost fans.
Just imagine if the writers knew where they were going with the story. It would have been one of the greatest stories ever
@@zacshifler I’ve rewatched it 20 times no joke. The ending is one of my favorite television endings ever! I don’t understand what is so bad about the writing/ending. It was brilliantly creative. And I couldn’t have been more satisfied. There’s a reason the series finale is in my top 5 favorite episodes of the show. It was emotionally satisfying and captivating!
@@zacshiflerThe ending was the most moving & magical piece of brilliance I've ever seen. I just don't get how someone who watched the show like you say you did, couldn't get it. Everything was concluded perfectly.
czcams.com/video/-HWECQa23Cs/video.html
@@CrownedGamer101You are 100% correct. I'm rewatching it again now and I'm still totally hooked all over. No show will ever match Lost.
Here's the thing though: by just floundering towards the end they ruined this _type_ of show forever. There *were* a few others that sprang from it that couldn't last *because* this one ended so badly with too many loose ends.
Not saying any of 'em were good. To tell you the truth, in a way, two possible precursors to this kind of thing, Fringe & Threshold had _AMAZING_ potential but were cancelled precisely because their concepts were too new. Having had LOST be known would have helped *them.* But LOST's ending bred an immense distrust in the public & for too long afterwards no one wanted to invest their time in watching something with an ending that unsatisfying.
Take _THAT_ GoT Season 8!
Love your work and subscribed bro ❤
Bro this was a great recap because I remember watching this show as it was on television and not fully understanding what was going on
Never was into tv shows until I watched how I met your mother, after that I decided to give every show premise that sounded good a try and lost was one of the first ones I went for. This was back when the first 2 or 3 seasons were already out and I was in college… I didn’t go for classes for a week or so, just glued to the tv… morning till night. Damn, what a hell of a time
Sounded like a great week & memory
The first decade of the 2000's was good.
binging LOST when you have never seen it before is basically heroin for your brain
Really enjoyed the video. Great work
Link to watch on Netflix
thank you so much ive tried so many times to watch all the seasons. but never got past season 4. now i know how it ended. such a good ending
Here it seems good because it's concise but actually it's pretty confusing 😂
I don't know how anyone can say that this is a masterpiece... It was writing with no rudder wrapped in red herring after red herring and continuous bating with little to no answers delivered
. Did you know that the original plan was for the show to be concluded in two seasons,?. , but the channel wanted more than anything else to keep the audience (and viewing figures) from its initial success. The original writers were binned off and on it went into the misty depths if idiocy. It was certainly a pioneer in that sense and a foreboding sign of things to come regards multi season TV shows.
A great first season. A fully engaged audience, followed by a swift drop into complete incredulity and continuous non pay off bating.
Better call Saul.
Son's of Anarchy.
Peaky blinders.
Cumberbatch Sherlock, to name but a few that all did this..
I am half way through watching this presentation and in listening to the "plot" I'm now more than ever reminded just how stupid that almost all of this show was. You are discussing the "story" as if was valid and worthy of such attention when there would be more validity in discussing the shows production steps and how "LOST" the whole venture was from a creative and storytelling perspective. Ok that's my say.
Ps , The one show that redeemed my faith was. ..
True detectives , season one. IMO, some of the best television ever made. Peace. Xx
The show was never supposed to conclude in two seasons. The original writers weren't binned off.
@@kuhpunkt If that is the case, they should have been. That was six seasons of sideways flashing garbage.
@@YanoshRagauld Why was it garbage?
The show was originally planned to be as many as 5 season according to Abrams, Cuse, and Lindelof the only people who has publicly commented at all on what was said in the original pitch meeting. ABC wanted as many as 10 by the shows peak in 2007, were lucky Cuse and Lindelof showed the restraint they did.
Cuse and Lindelof wrote the show with a staffed writing team beginning to end and while the 2007 writers strike changed their roster a little bit, Cuse and Lindelof were at the head of if the whole time.
Most of your comment comes down to opinion. I’m not a fan of Sons of Anarchy, or Peaky Blinders, Better Call Saul is alright. Does that make you better or smarter than me? Because you like a different kind of entertainment? You can’t make any real criticism of the show, just “plot and story bad! Didn’t like!” And that’s totally fine to believe, but it’s not objective fact.
Lost was incredibly popular for years, and it’s ending was highly controversial. Mostly because people somehow thought they were dead the whole time. They weren’t. It left an impact on the industry, and sort of changed the way they wrote television for a while. It became the TV cliffhanger extravaganza, that you just had to talk about by the water cooler. Very few shows have ever done what lost did, none of the ones you named come close.
@@YanoshRagauld it seems like you like to state things you believe as facts. (Show wasn’t originally planned to be two seasons, Cuse and Lindelof weren’t fired, six seasons of sideways flashing bullshit? I’ve you watched the show? Doesn’t seem like it.)
This show was fantastic i rewatch it every couple of years but only the first 3 seasons.
Season 4, 5, and 6 are the best seasons😅😅 the first 3 had way too much filler
Props to this youtuber who recapped this tv show I have vague memories of watching like a champ cause I started getting lost with the time shit
Even as a recap this show still has me in tears 😢 Charlie's death even tho i knew was coming really broke me because of everything that he went through and his back and forth with his drug addiction and just trying to do right. This show had me on a rollercoaster ride loving then hating each the group members each time there was major development on the island and persons had to chose a path that they thought was in the best interest of the group and themselfs. At one point or the other everyone everyone was the good guy and everyone was the bad guy or just did something dumb. But i loved the journey and the ending. One of the best tv series ever in my opinion. Thanks for the recap
I loved the series, eagerly waiting for each episode. Although the series finale seemed a bit rushed.
I think another season would be great. The survivors end up back on the island as their Eden. And finally finding out who made the Heart and the wheel that moves the island. And why it was made and put there. What purpose the Heart does. Basically clearing up all the remaining mysteries and questions.
all it was a stage. it doesnt matter the heart, the wheel, etc.
I think the writers of the show would say the same thing. Which is laughable. Beyond the excellent characters, the main draw of the show Is all of the mystery of the island which draws you in and makes you want to know more. The creators of the show absolutely banked on this for viewership but did not have satisfying answers for those same viewers.
One of my favorite shows and I’m glad the ending landed with me. I can watch it again and again and be satisfied at the end every time. I understand why people fell off or didn’t like the ending though. There is an excellent channel Lost Explained that gets real deep into the series and really explains things well for huge Lost fans or anyone that is interested.
Thanks! The ending always makes dust get in my eye.😅
I watched the show and the recap and I’m still confused on exactly what happened. Season 1 was so simple
I listening to this while going to bed and I truly couldn’t believe it lol. This story is insane
This was a great breakdown. Lost is my favorite show of all time. I watch at least once a year. Thank you so much for this video.
Im rewatching it every 3 years. Thanks to a lot of weed, its like the first time every time. But charlie is my fav every time again😭💖
Having watched this originally in 2009/2010 and now revisiting... it's becoming clear, that the core story becomes convoluted and hard to understand from tail end of season 4 into the ending of Season 6. All that time jump stuff. Thank you for the memories! And, thank you so much for compiling all this together! And... by Season 6... it's just different timelines. causing a headache. still love the show and hope for a revival, especially with the epilogue
absolutely outstanding job. if you mentioned it I missed it but didn't we discover Hurley could talk to dead people? keep up the good work. respect,
Your voice is sooooo amazing. You sound like those men on commercials that sell vacuums or whatever. Thanks for the videos!!
Once you have a 2nd, 3rd, and 4th rewatch you find things you missed that make small connections. It's crazy how you can still discover things in this show years after airing. It's fascinating.
Totally, I understand the story on a completely different level than my first or second viewing. A lot of things make more sense and everything seems more connected and set-up and not as random.
I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that Michael Emerson should have won the Emmy for every single season he was in, instead of just for the fifth one, though he was actually nominated every year.
Unfortunately he came across that golden age of series with lot of impressive performances between The Sopranos, Boston Legal, Mad Men, Grey's anathomy and the rise of Breaking Bad.
His reaction after Alex's execution left me in shock when I saw it the first time.
He was very good
Thank you. I needed this. I started watching the show during its original release, but I wasn't interested since I was like 10. I always wondered how the show went, but never had the desire to actually watch the whole thing.
Not sure how long it took for you to make this recapp but appreciate the effort
salute
Thank you soooo much!!! That ending , it’s still hard to watch 😢😢😢😢
I binged Lost and it wasn't as bad as I thought, which made me realize that people hate the ending because they'd been waiting 6 years of weekly viewing for it
First
@@nanner7085 I can't remember his name he was in the lord of the rings and I think he played Charlie. He said the shows creators had a full story with a beginning , a middle and a end and the show only had enough story for two maybe three GREAT seasons . I personally believe the first season is one of the best seasons of TV but a lot of the other seasons is just filler and stuff they had to add AFTER the phenomenal success the show. The show became an unexpected smash hit with an almost instant cult following and the network was like we need MORE SEASONS not just the 2 or 3 you have enough story for so thats why it turned into a big bloated mess. Guy that played Charlie said off they had kept the story like it was originally written it would have been far superior and thats why he kinda dropped out for a few seasons . I still enjoyed the show don't get me wrong but it did outstay its welcome . Now instead of being classed alongside breaking bad, the wire and OZ etc its now classed as that show with the extremely bad ending
Amazing recap, ty. Still didn't fully understand what was going on
Nothing was going on. The writers were just making it all up as they went along.
Did it really make sense to others in the way you've recapped here? It never seemed like it while watching it. Well done.
You do a great job at these.. but good lord this one just kept getting more and more insane. I had to stop 😂😅
Never seen this show... All I can say after watching this is WOW, just WOW!
You have no idea😅😅😅😅
Wow it must have taken you forever to edit this video. Thank you for the recap work. Truly
I'd still re-watch now. Thanks Nicole.
This opened up all the emotions from the Finale as if it happened yesterday.
oh damn guess i know what i will be watching tonight!
the scene at the very beginning, showing the immediate aftermath of the plane crash from Jack’s perspective is one of the sickest scenes in all of television in my opinion. the chaos and violence of the scene was visceral, and it informed the audience a lot about Jack’s character as he was able to sack
up and accomplish his immediate goals.
so yeah, it’s an amazing scene and a textbook example of how to properly open your show in a way that grabs the audience’s attention (the show finally let go around season 4 when the writers no longer had a plan and the writing went to shit lol).
what's important is the mass know the characters were alive during the island events, that everything was real except what it's shown in the flashsides
Thank you for the video
I honestly think that seasons 1-3 were peak. If they had led this into a final season 4 where they explain the more important mysteries and cap off the characters plotlines it would be an all time great show.
Even though i actually enjoyed the whole thing, you have to admit that season 4 and on things got WAY out of hand. The time travel, the new groups of characters, the going back to the island etc was all just too much to unpack all at once.
If Lost never dug into all of the newly opened plots and just resolved the existing ones (although definitely leave some mystery) i think it would stand as one of the best ever.
I went back and rewatched 1, 2, 3, and 6, and it actually felt more satisfying. Season 4 and 5 were so confusing and uninspired that it actually kills some of the mystery and story. If you skip those seasons, the show is more meaningful.
After they went back to the island is when I called it quits. I remember watching season one and being on the edge of my seat the whole time it’s so tense. But after everything going back to the island just seemed so ridiculous, and the mystery was gone
This show is the reason why I will never watch a TV show again. It was a buildup to disappointment after disappointment. I have never gone back to TV so this show actually changed my life positively. Although completely unintentional.
Man it is so funny you say that because I had the exact same reaction, lol. Besides GoT (which I had to watch due to unique circumstances or otherwise I would not have), I have not watched any TV shows since then.
Brilliantly explained. Still have no idea what happened, but a great summery none the less
damn this was some complicated stuff . Well done recapping so much in less than an hour's time.
Man wish I never learned about “mystery boxes”. It’s like when you were kids and you could always come up with a cool premise. When you grow up having a fleshed out complete story is the idea. Bad Reboot guys never learned this apparently.
What does Lost have to do with this?
@@kuhpunkt good question, for another time. Dude are you really that dense. I’ll help you out a bit, why not look up the guys responsible for “lost”.
Finally someone did this.. if you go episode by episode ala Howsenburg films I'd watch that too.
I lived discovering things about the island.
Dude even the recap made me tear up.
even with a recap I am still indeed lost
I watched a season or two as a kid I understood nothing, I watch this and I still understand nothing, I'm not sure I'd understand if I watch all the episodes again haha
This really made the show make more sense thankbyou
Best explanation ever. Now I everything understand.
The title Lost is not the series name. It is for the audience
This will never not be my number one favorite show of all time. I was about 18 when it came out and to say it put TV shows on the map sounds ridiculous by today's standards where TV is the biggest thing. Plus the fact that TV shows were huge for decades before Lost. But trust me. TV has never taken a bigger leap since Lost. The budget and production values were through the roof! It was one of the first big budget shows to have real episode by episode storytelling where every episode had a cliffhanger ending and you literally couldn't wait for the next one. There were forums on the internet, people were talking about it all week in between episodes. And for about four years it was just mind blowing TV. Then the last season or two were a bit naff. But the feeling I got from Lost and the buzz and the hype it created was totally original and has never been replicated since. Also because it was literally shot on an Island they rented and most of the effects are practical means it's hardly dated at all. You can put it on today and it still looks like a really high budget TV show and it was shot in the mid 2000's. I remember reading an article where they said Lost was the reason most people learned to pirate TV shows online and that was the reason America started selling their shows internationally before testing them at home. Before Lost The US would release a show and if the first season was a hit they would sell it abroad. So when Lost hit in the UK everyone found out it was already on season two in the US when they were a handful of episodes into season one and everyone went online and figured out how to pirate it so they could catch up. I read than and said "yup. That's what I did" 😂 I watched 4 episodes week to week in the UK and then someone told me I could go on a website and download all of season one and some of two and I did it. Then I did that with every show after Lost until about a year later when they just gave us the shows on time 🤣🤣🤣
Such a good show one of my favs
Watching this recap just makes me glad I kindaa missed the boat when this was showing.
That was a very good recap. 👍
Got a little wonky there in the middle seasons but all in all this was my favorite show of all time. Ending with all of them getting to move on, together, was beautiful and had me crying lol.
You serious?
@@zer00rdie Why not?
@@kuhpunktWhy so serious?!? 🤡

Thanks for the explanation, won’t have to Watch 3 more seasons
Yet another classic case of a show, once great, devolving into a fever dream.
Lost is definitely among my favorite shows of all time. I think it scratched an itch for me during a time, when a lot of TV wasn’t so theistic or have many supernatural or spiritual themes.
Lost week to week, had intriguing ideas and delivered on thought provoking concepts. Did it fall apart at the end? Not as much as people would like to act like it did, it’s ending is not nearly as disconnected from its main themes and ideas as something like Game of Thrones or Dexter was.
Lost’s ending just didn’t pull a rubber mask off of a villain and say “it was you all along!” It didn’t wrap up every single little detail, and that’s what fans wanted. They were bitter, because the show didn’t produce the ending they wanted. But truly, I’d still put Lost up there with the Sopranos, with Breaking Bad, with the Wire. It is quality American television, at its finest.
breaking bad is very overrated
@talltreeyeti you're overrated!
Lost for me is the greatest show of all time and it's not even close.
@@talltreeyetiNo it’s not
@@mdluk199lol 😂😂lost is borderline bad. Lost should be nowhere near these conversations.
I remember getting so lost watching the first season of Lost that it lost my interest. Now that I’ve watched the recap for Lost… I’m even more lost than I was before.
Okay, everyone got lost at some point in lost, but if you were Lost in season one of Lost, it might be time for ADHD meds.
So many questions left unanswered in this show. I still loved watching it when it first came out though.
Wild! Well done!
I loved Lost. It was basically an adult soap opera in a Sci fi setting. Kept my interest all the way. Loved the cast and the crazy stories. I figured they would have to end it that way.
"I figured they would have to end it that way." What way do you mean?
I love the first series it’s amazing. Remember when Kate was swimming in a lake with someone and they found bodies in it 😭
If this TV show was a person, it would be a flat earther
what
Wow… I only watched about three seasons back when it was new. I would never of imagined all of that ahead…
as much as i appreciate how much work this must have taken, i bogged down and tuned out around the same point i did in the show itself...must be something inherent to the story that i just can't stay invested in
This show had such potential. I regret the 6 years i spent obsessing over it😑
Why?
Why😂 I still obsess over it! I’ve seen it 20 times now. Season 4, 5, and 6 has got to be some of the best seasons I have ever seen in television history. That’s why the hate immensely surprises me! It’s interesting to see the flash forwards and how they attempted to get back to the island. Added on with time travel! And Jacob and the man in black! I loved it. And most of the mysteries were answered despite most of the claims that they weren’t. The important ones were.
