Lost has been a cultural phenomenon since day one. From my stance, there hasn't been a show like it. Its a show that makes you think and puts you at the edge of your seat every week. You may get a little disappointed from time to time because you think the show will tell you something, and then it doesn't for weeks, but eventually you will know the truth.

I never seen this show until the first season came to DVD. At first it wasn't something that looked interesting to me, because I'm not really into the whole Si-fi thing, but I was at the video store one day and thought I would give it a shot. After the first episode, I was hooked. The season finale was so good I couldn't wait until season two, except for the fact the time conflicted with my favorite show, One Tree Hill. By the time they changed time, in season three, the season was halfway over. But luckly I got all caught up in time for season four to start, and I was able to actually watch it.

I had another chance to watch the show from the beginning because my boyfriend watched the season premiere of season 4 with me and was so confused he needed to watch from the beginning. After I got season 1 from Amazon, we stayed in all weekend and all we did was watch Lost and eat pizza. Thank goodness I had season two at home so we didn't have to wait long to stay in for another weekend. I finally had someone to watch it with me.

Lost is the story of a plane crash on a deserted island in the middle of nowhere. An island that nobody can find, with many mysteries that come with it. The survivors have to ban together to find food, make shelter, and stay together so they can survive. There is a plethera of different people from different cultures and races that are stuck on this island. Some end up dying, more survivors show up, and they even come across people already on the island.

Its like Guilligan's Island or Survivor, but with many twists, turns, and mysteries to figure out. Even if your not big on si-fi, I definatly think you will love this show too. But just make sure you pay close attention with all these characters, like the "others, who live on the island, and the Dharma Initiative, an experimental team from the 70's who did their experiemens on the island.
