An idea came to me, just because the TV season is done, doesn't mean there is no more TV! Therefore, I am starting up a series called Shows You Need to See (SYNS), where I will preview a classic TV series, and why you need to see it!
The first in this series will be about LOST, so I hope you enjoy.
I don't know what more I can say but to really consider watching this show, because it really is a rewarding experience. Here's the first episode, Pilot #1's TV promo (best quality I could find):
The first in this series will be about LOST, so I hope you enjoy.
Show: Lost (2004-2010)
Genre(s): Drama, Mystery, Sci-Fi, Action, with hints of comedic relief
Concept: Stranded on a seemingly deserted island, the crash survivors must band together if they want to live.
Number of Episodes: 116 over six seasons
Why You Should Watch:
- The show is character-driven, allowing you to invest in every single character, as you progressively learn and understand each characters, past, present, and future, and how each of their paths aren't as random as you would believe.
- The show covers many genres successfully, and never promotes one genre at the expense of another, as each aspect of the show is respected and honed to perfection, from the lovers of films such as Cast Away, 24 action-junkies, CSI mystery lovers, and everything between.
- The audience is always respected, as the writers wrote the show for an intelligent audience, and the show was written without outside industry pressures such as show cancellation, cross-promotion, rating grabs, etc.
- The show rewards both the marathon viewings, for those of us who "just can't wait", as well as the long-term viewers who only can watch an episode here and there. One of the very few shows that can still reward the 'once a week' crowd even after the show is finished.
- Has an invested lore-based universe that deals with canon issues very successfully, in that those who watch the show will never feel "lost" (no pun intended) if they don't read more into the show, while those who have the time can theorize and study the world for all that it has to offer.
