There are few "drama" series that kept me waiting in anticipation of the next episode. Lost is such one of them. And after 5 seasons spanning 5 years (in TV time its just about 3 years, exclusive of the jump back 20 years part), Lost still kept me entertain.
What started out as a plane crashed onto a deserted island (season 1) has led to the encounter of the Others (season 2), before the battle and fight for survivable (season 3), to the escape from the island (season 4) and now the return of it (season 5). And this is on top of a setting of a mystical island of unknown power and origins.
Original Cast
Just one of the things I like about this show is that they have an extensive set of casts that formed various unique characters. This give the viewers the weekly option to understand each of their characters back stories and personalities.
Not to mention there is also the writers' readiness to kill off characters and include new ones. Definitely interesting to see how they play out.
Of them all, I admire Sawyer the best. A thief, a crook and a winner with many of the girls. How not to like him.
