It's just popped up on Netflix, never seen it. Worth watching?

I loved it and would watch it all over again! The ending wasn’t great but still worth a watch

HeBeaverandSheBeaver · 24/08/2024 22:36

Yes But After
A Few Seasons it does get frustrating so don't get too invested lol.

No. I felt like a fool watching it til the end. Don’t start.

No! I’m still annoyed I wasted so much time on this series. The ending was so disappointing.

WoahThreeAces · 24/08/2024 22:38

YES! Lost is the single greatest TV programme ever

EmeraldIsla · 24/08/2024 22:39

No. Was brilliant at the start, but totally lost its marbles.

Junestwitchyeye · 24/08/2024 22:40

Oh yes watch it!

I've watched it several times and love it. It's something that really gets you thinking which is part of the fun, plus some intriguing characters and bizarre plot twists. Very entertaining and not like anything else.

I'm actually watching it with my teenage DS and he's not watched it before... it's funny seeing him jump and get spooked by the music like I did the first time.

Allnewtometoo · 24/08/2024 22:40

Hmm well I struggle to stick things out so maybe 2 series?

Don’t waste your life. DH and I watched it when it first came out. We wasted so much of our life waiting for each episode. Maybe not quite as bad now you can binge.

GargoylesofBeelzebub · 24/08/2024 22:41

It's worth a watch but be prepared to be disappointed by the ending

This ,because after season 3 it just gets irritating and then boring and you want it to hurry up and finish but there's 10 seasons so it drags and drags on for what seems like forever

It's as if they made the first series thinking no one would watch it, then everyone did so they had to think of an ending, and that was the best they could come up with.

NoraLuka · 24/08/2024 22:50

I watched it for the first time during COVID. Don’t usually watch more than one season of anything but I stuck with Lost until the end 😂

This.

Watch the first series & no more.

Didshejustsaythatoutloud · 24/08/2024 22:52

Don't bother, starts of well, then.......

paristotokyo · 24/08/2024 22:53

I watched it when it first came out years ago and it recently came up on my Netflix and I'm rewatching it again currently. I remember the ending being dissapointing though. Have you watched the show manifest? It's a little like that.. just gets more and more bizzare as the episodes progresses like the writers are just throwing out the most weirdest storylines they can think of as they go along and then it all ends in some massive bizzare way 😂 I'm watching it for the nostalgia to be honest

EveryDayisFriday · 24/08/2024 22:53

I loved it first time round, yes the last series or two becomes too much but great up until then. Just started watching with DD tonight, I'd forgotten so many good characters.

It was apparently only ever meant to be 3, but the network wanted it stretched to 6, which it was. But then it was a victim of the writers' strike, so went haywire for a couple of seasons, as well as dragging stuff out to get the required number of seasons.

I may watch it again, even though I was disappointed by the ending!

TheYearOfSmallThings · 24/08/2024 22:56

No. I watched the first episode when it was new, and it was intriguing, but I heard they were still on the island with no resolution for the next season being filmed, and thought "No! This is going to be like Twin Peaks again!" and I was right - it just dragged on and eventually coughed out a shit ending when viewers got bored.

It's worth watching for Sawyer alone 😍

Save yourself a lot of frustration and don’t.

It starts off so promisingly and pisses it all up the wall.
