Lost ^(http://www.indiefilmhouse.com/goto/http://ezinearticles.com/?Why-Desmond-Hume-is-My-Favorite-Lost-Character&id=4413921) is right up there with Battlestar Galactica, Six Feet Under, and Arrested Development as one of the best shows of the 2010s! As a guy who has already seen every single episode of all 6 seasons of Lost, I am still probably going to buying the complete Lost collection on Blu-Ray ^(http://www.indiefilmhouse.com/goto/http://www.weirdbiz.com/lost-the-complete-dvd-or-blu-ray-series/1010/) because this is the kind of show that will be very fun to view a second time (plus there’s a lot of awesome extra features included with the complete series box set.)

If you’re new to Lost then I’m actually jealous of you to be able to experience it for the very first time. It’s really that good of a show. it is the type of show that you are probably going to fondly remember for the rest of your days.

To get the most out of the experience you really want to buy the complete Lost DVD box set ^(http://www.indiefilmhouse.com/goto/http://www.loveyoudeer.com/lost.html) and then avoid all spoilers as much as you can. A great part of the show is having the “mysteries of the island” slowly unraveled in amazingly unexpected ways. Don’t ruin that for yourself by looking up things about the show!

Also it’s important to view it from beginning to end in order. This is a real “serial” where every single episode leads to the next. It is all “one story” rather than a show where each episode (or even season) has it’s own internal logic.

I really must warn anyone reading this that Lost is very addictive and that if you like it anywhere near as much as I do that you may find yourself watching as many as seven episodes in just one sitting (yes I actually did this once!) It is one of those shows where every episode ends on an unbearable cliffhanger that really has you wanting to know what happens next.

I should also really say that this is a people who like to think about things. What’s going on will not always be obvious. If you are looking fors predictable mindless entertainment, you should look somewhere else. You will have to make use of your brain when you watch this mystery unfold.
