If this trailer makes you want to watch its associated movie, then you'll probably also like Lost MowCowWhoHow III Jan 2016 #4

but it isn't for everyone I hear. I liked the cast enough to hang through it even though it was a while before I knew what was going on, that is IF I ever knew what was going on.

I have no idea what it was all about, but I liked the twists and turns along the way, which there certainly were a lot.

Peace

My buddy loved it, so I watched a few episodes with him but never got into it.
But I hardly ever watch TV shows, especially ones you have to follow from week to week.

I watch Criminal Minds, Law and Order and the like since you don't really need to watch every episode to figure out what's going on.

It looks interesting. In the right mood I would probably give it a try.

Well it won't hurt to start watching 'Lost' and see if it keeps me interested.

I watched the entire series waiting for the punchline. It never came.

Some episodes were worth the watch, but the entire series… meh.

I thought something like that had happened based on reading DU over the years. The end must have been very frustrating. Kind of like the ending of The Sopranos.

I won't bother to watch it.

I avoided watching it for several years, and finally succumbed when Netflix was lean on new stuff. Although I liked some of the characters and some of the episodes, I would not have missed anything had I not watched it.

I liked it a lot. Nothing at all like what The Sopranos did. It doesn't answer all the questions but I can't imagine how any single episode would.

Lost has been my favorite series that I can remembering ever watching. The one season was pretty weird but I still liked it. I don't know how it would be if you binge watched. Half the fun was spending the week between episodes trying to figure out what the heck was going on. The wait between seasons was agony.

Upthread I had decided not to watch, but now you've piqued my interest again. I appreciate that.

And welcome to DU!

and have seen it twice. The ending wasn't for everyone, but it worked for me. The whole fun is in watching a series of improbable mysteries unravel. Plus the characters were interesting in a trainwrecky way. Might watch it again soon.

I was OK with the ending in The Sopranos because the show was so good. I appreciate your input!

The same thing happened to me when I watched Jessica Jones. I can't recommend it enough. She's the total anti-hero and the evil guy is outstandingly evil. It's a great show.

We watched all but the last season binge style. The last season we watched as broadcast. I said then and I'll say now, I could never stand to get strung along for six years of my life.

Of course, I said I wasn't going to get involved with The Leftovers when I heard it had some Lost creators/writers... And now I'm sucked in. DOH!

The first few seasons are the best .
Binge watch two or three seasons and you will be hooked.
The characters are more important than the story.

I loved LOST ,except the ending ,much worse than the Sopranos.


If you already saw LOST and are missing Sawyer,I just watched the first episode of Josh Holloway's Colony . Spoiler.....shower scene ...and more shirtless Josh.......worth it!
