Was this actually good or was it another millennial fad like harry potter

Pretty sure it was good because it’s the only show I’ve ever enjoyed watching

>>213063574 (OP)
Only the pilot was good and the hope of the rest of the series being good carried it all the way to 6 seasons

>>213063574 (OP)
Only cool for perhaps 30-minutes of runtime. (I assume, I only allowed it to troll me for like a season and a half.)

>>213063574 (OP)
Another Taimandred situation.

>>213063632
Seriously.

>>213063574 (OP)
best tv show ever made

>>213063574 (OP)
Season 1 was interesting, but the gimmick of flashbacks constantly gets old, when you watch it chronologically it really shows that the writers don't have the talent for suspense and intrigue. The only way they know to keep the audience's attention is by witholding information by going to commercials or a boring flashback.

LOST is the most overrated show on this board.
Just a bunch of mystery box bullshit and one of the worst and most cliche endings possible.
The fact that LOSTards can never explain why the actual show was good but deflect to vague nonsense like "you had to be there" and "muh discussions" prove how awful this show was.

>>213063574 (OP)
it was good when people didn't know the ending

>>213063574 (OP)
the theme song was pretty good

Yeah, it was good. It had some shortcomings and the story got a little screwy sometimes but the good outweighed the bad. Worth a watch.

Did anyone else find Kate so annoying that you actually weren't even attracted to her? This is seriously impressive imo considering how hot she is. Claire was still attractive despite being also incredibly annoying

>>213065276
All the female characters were annoying honestly, but Claire was the cutest for sure

>>213065276
>>213065276
>Claire was still attractive despite being also incredibly annoying
Wrong. Her annoying accent gave me a derection. Annoying pozztralian cunt.

>>213065357
Juliet was the only good woman of the show.

>>213063574 (OP)
It's a good show. It takes a little while to get rolling, which is especially unfortunate in a show with 24-episode seasons, but by season 2 and especially 3 it's pretty much a premier example of an ensemble cast done right.

>>213065276
Claire is among the worst characters in the entire show.

>>213063574 (OP)
It was good for its time. The non linear story telling was avante guard for its time.

Telling two parallel stories where the lesson the character learns in the B plot gives them the wisdom and character traits tonsolve their problem in the A plot is very hard to pull off from a screenwriting perspective. And the fact the show pulled it off for like 75% of the episodes was very very impressive.

>>213065276
Everyone hated Kate. She was angry impulsive and stand offish which is funny cause the actress is a super chill tomboy

why can't we have 20+ episode seasons anymore instead of 8 ep seasons with multiple artsy fartsy wide shot, narrow focus pull shots littered around the screentime

what the FUCK happened, literally

>>213065276
claire was only attractive in season 1 for some reason

>>213065763
Whatever season it was where she had bangs made her an 11/10

>>213065719
it’s genuinely baffling. And the budgets only seem to get higher.

LOST was better than:

The Sopranos
The Wire
Mad Men
Breaking Bad
Game of Thrones

>>213063574 (OP)
Lost was the first TV show that I ever watched that was not episodic. Meaning TV shows back in the day used to be individual stories without everything being connected. Like you could pick up with an X-Files episode and not have to have watched all the X-Files from before to know what happened. But Lost was the first TV show I ever watched where everything was this big story where you kept watching to see how it ended.

>why is art in a decaying corrupt republic getting shittier

Sure is a mystery Gauis. At least the government gives us free grain and games

>>213065978
was there even a water cooler show before that? i was in grade school when it aired and i remember talking about the episodes with my classmates

>>213066347
Im not old enough but i think Twin Peaks was like that. Can any Boomers confirm?

>>213066372
I believe TP was orders of magnitude less popular than Lost.

>>213066347
Only on HBO I think

>>213063574 (OP)
S1 is as good as everyone says

>>213066529
S2 is even better. All the drama around the button is still fucking kino, and the build up to the hatch implosion is done masterfully

>>213063574 (OP)
trolling the threads was fun. it was great when the finale happened and we ended up being right that the show was going absolutely nowhere. to this day people still cope that it was about muh characters and they werent really dead the whole time. The rest of y'all know when I durn to yah WAAAALT

>>213066585
People gave up on lost before it reached the final season

>>213066579
>>213066529
my kiddy mind was blowing up at every mystery box
>HECKING POLAR BEARINO IN A JUNGLE???
>HECKING MONSTER???
>HEEEEEEEEECKKINGGGGGGGGGG HATCH IN THE GROUND?????????????????????
>HECKING SAILING SHIP????????????

>>213066613
nah it retained the vast majority of viewers til the very end though many got wise after the first few seasons. i was there kid

>>213063574 (OP)
It was a sensation. It didn't matter what quality, what mattered was being along for the ride.
