...Plot Synopsis'''
The premise for Lost is that a plane from Sydney to Los Angeles - Oceanic Flight 815 is ripped asunder and has crashed and the passengers have ended up stranded on a remote island. Initially it's just the normal scenario of everyone banded together for survival immediately after the crash. The wounded are treated and shelters are built. Everything seems, well normal. Of course if things stayed like that, Lost wouldn't be the phenomenon ... ...plane crash), the cast of Lost is comparably large with plenty of diverse characters. Whilst I feel detailing every character would be a little mind-numbing, I feel it's important that potential purchasers can get a feel for the type of characters they will be viewing. Officially there are 42 survivors of the crash, although the majority of these are simply extras, although there are still 14 main crash survivors, ranging from an obsessive doctor ...

i started watching lost a few months ago when i got the Lost Series 1 Boxset, and i must say, its definetly the greatest series i have ever watched, ever, this is not an ordinary drama, its a drama/horror/mystery and can even be quite funny at times, and what makes it even more great, is that nearly the whole story line, and the characters storys, could actually happen, but only under great coincidencil circumstances....

~ LOST IN DESTRUCTION~ LOST SEASON 1 ~ After just finishing the fourth season I decided to start the whole series again before the fifth is out on DVD. From the moment the first episode was released on TV I was addicted and watched every singly one after that.

...finished watching Season 2 of Lost on Channel 4 and have to say that I'm more confused then ever, and can't wait for Season 3 to start next year. In the meantime I've been watching some of the Season 1 episodes on DVD and thought it would be a good time to review the first season of this amazing, confusing and at times brilliant drama series.

Anyway, the story unfolds with a plane crashing on to a desert island in the South Pacific in the middle of the day, with the opening crash scene very impressive (and probably very expensive to produce). The survivors of the crash haul themselves away from the burning wreckage and set up camp on the beach, waiting to be rescued. When it becomes clear that help is not going ...

Advantages: excellent storyline, great cast, addictive television Disadvantages: do need to keep up with events
Lost is the hit tv show based around the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815 , who crashed on an unknown island. However, as the survivors try to adjust to life on the pictureque island while they await rescue, they find out they haven't crashed on any normal beach.
Unlike other tv shows where theres only a few main characters, around 15 characters have lead roles. Characters include Jack (Matthew Fox), - an experienced surgeon in LA with a trobled ... ...with the rest of the group, Kate (Evangeline Lilly) - a fugitive after murdering her step-father, Charlie (Dominic Monaghan) - a guitarist for the Mancunian band "Drive Shaft" (a lot of similarities to Oasis).
In the debut season, we see the crash happen and the aftermath on the first few nights involving injuries. However as time passes some of the characters decide to leave the beach where they crashed to find essentials, food, water, shelter, ...

Advantages: Not the ordinary Disadvantages: Cliff hanger ending every episode - or is that an advantage ???
...The main story of lost is very simple - a plane from Sydney to Los angles crashes - survivors land on a - deserted island?? - About 40 odd people survive and are all camped out on the beach. At first - as you would normally think - they all believe that they will be rescued within a few days, but their hopes are swiftly diminished when their pilot tells them that they were 1000 miles off course - and then the pilot is eaten by some dinosaur monster ... ...overweight - but has not lost any weight since his arrival to the island - strange?? Charlie Charlie is a heroine addict when he arrives - but thought the help of Locke he manages to give up. In his normal life he was in a band - he has been quite hard done by in life - betrayed by his brother. He is very religious and his stay on the island is a test of faith. He has a close relationship with Claire and is probably the only other thing that he cares ...

Advantages: Special effects are amazing Disadvantages: You Dont want it to end
...Televison, the new drama series Lost is about to come on, you read the short bit of information about it and think that could be watchable...
Within the first five minutes your eyes are glued to the screen, watching what only can be descrided as one of the best things to hit T.V. since T.V. was created. Unusualy there is two pilot epesodes costing around the $10 million dollar mark, so now Lost is not only the best series on the screens but the ... ...Some small facts about Lost are that the First few epesodes all start with someones eyes opening, and many of the epesodes end with a funny character named, Hurley listening to music which then is played until the end. Some viewers dismissed Lost after watching the first few epesodes, not knowing that it was to continiously improve making it the most talked about drama until the series ended on the 24th epesode where there are many twists and turns ...

Advantages: the best drama currently on show!!! Disadvantages: NONE!
...My views and thoughts:
Lost is unquestionablly one of my favourite dramas nowadays. It is composed of excitement, questions, surprises and mysteries that make it unstoppable once you start watching it. It has a complicated storyline with all those unknowns waiting to be explained. Yet, while you watch it, it will not make you feeling confused. The flashbacks in each episode about each of the character contributed greatly to the story-building, and ... ...this is not likely to happen. As series 2 has started explaining some of the mysteries which is very ensuring. So, my recommendation is: START WATCHING!!!!!

Quick review of Lost - Series 1 - Complete (Box Set) (DVD)
Excellent show that you can enjoy again and again via the full season dvd. Out of the 3 current seasons available I'd say season one is definitely the best, providing viewers with a brilliantly written plot with twists and turns all the way through keeping you on the edge of your seat. DVD extras are enjoyable especially bloopers, deleted scenes, Jimmy Kimmel on set, hilarious as ever, and more. You aren't a LOST fan unless you have the DVD collection too. ...

Advantages: Amazing storyline, Great acting Disadvantages: can be a bit confusing
...those. The first series of Lost is without doubt the best first season of a TV series i have ever seen. There are around fifty survivors from this plane crash and they all seem to follow the lead of Dr Jack Shepard who is desperate to save every possible life. None of the main characters on the island are perfect and this is revealed as each episode is focussed on one character, during the episodes there are flashbacks of their pasts. These flashbacks ... ...cases who they used to be. Some of the characters make an amazing transformation from who they used to be. The survivors wait for help but they soon discover that they aren't alone and escape may not be possible. You absolutely must watch this awesome programme that you will be hooked to from the very first minutes.
There are 23 episodes in this first season, the acting is brilliant and the programme uncovers a lot of previousely undiscovered acting ...

Advantages: Brilliant if you have the patience to wait for your answers Disadvantages: Not So Good if you want your answers straight away
LOST is about the survivors of a Oceanic Flight 815, they are trapped on a mysterious island. While roughly 40 people survive, the first season focuses on 14 of them, while at the beginning of the show, they are just trying to survive(get water, find shelter etc). It becomes clear that this is no ordinary island and this is definately not an ordinary show.
Originality:10/10
Acting:10/10
Writing:10/10
Episode Quality:10/10
Excitement:9/10
Action:9/10
... ...in the following years.
Lost is very mystery based and is not really suitable to someone who wants their answers straight away i.e in a cop show when you find out whodunnit at the end of an episode. Many mysterys from the first season have not been resolved, even by the end of season 3.
But if someone has patience with the show and lets the mysteries unfold as they do, then they will come to love it.
Another reason why LOST is a very popular show ...

Advantages: The fantastic plot Disadvantages: The flashbacks can confuse!!!!
...just a snippet of what lost has to offer.
The story flashes back to each individual survivor on the plane, giving a brief background to their life, what they were doing and what they left behind, after the intial first few episodes it becomes obvious that they were all on the plane for a reason. Most were a danger to the human race in some way. Many deaths occur in this first series and in many instances they bring reality to those close to them.
... ...also watch the makers of lost and found out why and how it was all put together,. the way every single one of them survivors is on that plane for some reason and many so similar it is fantastic and so clever, I cannot reccomend this enough I just need to go and get the next box set now as my brother has started series three on the internet and I need to catch up. This set did cost me 59.99 , however I did purchase it from a book club, i am to believe ...

Advantages: new, different, original, amaze and shock you Disadvantages: May find cliff hanger ending annoying
...but I personally loved it.
LOST gives you the chance to find out about these survivors past and see how their actions from the past interlink with things that happen on the island, or why they do certain things. It is an amazing programme and so much more then a show about people stranded on an island. There is action, adventure, romance and mystery all rolled into one.
Just watch the Pilot episode and I am sure you'll be hooked. This show is like ... ...DVD allows you to relive the experience over and over!
Another good point about buying this DVD is all the awesome extras - It even has one DVD disc devoted to all the Bonus Features. The Bonus Features include:
- Audition Tapes - I found this interesting and even shows some characters auditioning to play different characters... pretty strange imagining them playing another character!
- Deleted Scenes - Most are not very interesting to be honest, ...
