This is the start of an addiction. I can feel it.
Lost, Season one gets a 9/10 on scale. Sure, it loses some steam trading plot development for character development at times, but it’s solid none the less.
It’s tense, tragic, mysterious, entertaining, and weird. Weird to the point where it may be off-putting to some. Watch the first several episodes and you’ll see what I mean. Thankfully the Lost staff decided to go with “less is more” in the way of computer graphics and relies more on suggestion.
The Lost story is complex to say the least. It generated far more questions than it does answer them, by the end of the season, leaving so many loose ends that it’s hard to remember them all. Thankfully, pre-show recaps help. Miss some important details though and I can see why some can get... well... Lost.
If you’re gonna watch it. Make sure to give it the attention it deserves. It can be a consuming experience if you let it. Mostly, the acting is good, the score is very attractive and the mystery will keep you hooked.
Definitely watch out for when Ethan is around – It’s a great story piece you won’t soon forget.
