Lost: The Complete Collection - Season 1 - 6 Box Set (37 Discs)

If you asked me six years ago what I thought about castaway dramas I would of possibly told you they were cliched and a dying breed. Why did I become attracted to the concept of LOST? Possibly JJ Abrams to initially start with who was a huge pedigree for the show to launch. Anyone who has seen his body of work will know how full of ideas this man has and LOST is the pivatel plate in all that.

What made LOST interesting? It was simply it's own show and was a stamp to tell the world how American television could be experianced. From it's experianced cast (Matthew Fox, Naveen Andrews, Dominic Monaghan, Evangeline Lily, Micheal Emerson, Terry O Quinn and soo many others) to it's expensive production (set on location in Hawaii) you watch LOST and know a single penny hasn't been wasted. LOST has been defined as half way between film and televison due to it's presentation is next to nothing you will see on televison of it's era. It's the cinematic experiance you can watch in your own home.

What is LOST all about? If you come across any fan of this show not a single person could describe it in a single sentence. That's mainly because the show is deeply layered with beautiful story telling, well structured characters and an intriguing mythology that pitches itself up there with the likes of Star Wars. However LOST is simply about a diverse group of people who survive a plane crash on a pacific Island in the South Pacific and just simply are taking on an extrodinary journey. Some would say essentially a 'character study' based upon human ideologies about what it means to be somebody in that situation.

The thing I love about this show soo much is that it has a well structured plot. You know when watching this that is has a cemented beginning, middle and an end, not only to the seasons themselves but the overall story arc alone. It's mythology leaves fans debating across fan forums today and will be in years to come about the mysteries surrounding the show. The development of character is extroadinary here and by the time you have watched the first season you are invested in everybody but by the time the series ends you'll know everything about every character in this show.

LOST has captured millions of people's imaginations, including my own. It has simply bacame my favourite television series ever and will probably stay there for many years to come. I'm sure people reading this review have probably watched the show before but if you are new to the series you won't be disappointed. I recommend completely. You'll come out of this show in tears.

10/10 - I'll miss you forever LOST!

Nothing compares to Lost and what it's done in the past 6 years. This trully is a great programme and I recommend it to you all. I will certainly be buying this complete box set soon because I want to watch it all over again. Never have I been so close to characters before when watching something. The people behind Lost really know how to make an exciting, interesting, emotional programme.

But it now!!

The title almost says enough, but this show is truly fantastic. Some people were disappointed by the end, but keep an open mind and interpret it how you want I think the ending is really good. I have never known a show cause so much hype with so many fan websites and people writing theories on the show. If you watch this from the begging be sure to avoid spoilers online and just enjoy each episode as it comes, it is a fantastic watch. I really miss watching new episodes every week.

Following a plane crash 48 survivors find themselves stranded on island that seems far from normal but, while Lost was at its heart a sci-fi mystery show, its greatest strength always lay in its ensemble cast.

The creators were able to use this huge pool of talent at their disposal to ensure viewers were always interested in the stories which, alongside the ever evolving mystery of the islands true purpose, ensured Lost became one of the most addictive television shows of all time. You simply couldn't wait to find out what was going to happen next and discussions would rage on forums and amongst friends as to just what was really going on.

By the time the show reached its finale there were however still a lot of questions left unanswered, making some question just how clear a plan the creators had when making the show, and the final episode continues to cause debate amongst fans. Some were satisfied whilst others felt it left to many plot holes. Watching the show again on DVD I personally have mixed feelings about how the show ended but it can't be denied it was a hell of a ride. Often imitated (FlashForward, The Event) but never bettered Lost is certainly a show that has to be seen.
