Finally finished TV Series "Lost" in under 2 weeks ( NO SPOILER GIVE AWAYS)

 

 

Lost (TV Series 2004-2010)

Well where do i begin.


Umm the first television series i completed was friends.Back here in india 10 years ago we did not get a lot of viewers as we do now and neither had the world witness the torrent phenomena.So the only medium to watch american series were buying dvd's.But holy shit were they expensive.So i kept this series on my watchlist like many others and i will write about my obsession with american drama in detail in another article.




So coming back to lost,i just wanted to say wow!!!! How did i miss such a well written tv show? Why did i wait 10 years before finally watching it? Well i just told you the reasons above.The only other thing before this i did regret not watching instantly was "Goodfellas".




This is such a unique and different show as it has so many plots and so many genres all at once.Is it a mystery? Is it drama? Is it romance? Is it horror? Is it supernatural? Is it adventure? Is it fantasy? Actually it is all of the above!




Rarely you have a show where every episode ending leaves you wanting more and every episode ending has a suspense climax.Before i even start with the brilliant actors,you have to take a moment and salute the creators and writers of this show.You have a lot of series where the audience and the creators both do now know if there will be another season.But here comes a series where the first episode of season 1 was fully connected to the last episode of season 6 finale.For example you had a couple of dead skeletons in the first episodes discovered by the survivors and in the last episodes after 6 long years their names are finally revealed.This trend continues throughout the six seasons of the show.It was as if the creators sat down in the first season and wrote scripts right till the sixth season.Just brilliant.




First,Oceanic 815 crashes on a deserted island.there are characters appearing and disappearing in the story in all the seasons,there are women getting pregnant and having babies,we have a guy with drug addiction,we have a man in a wheelchair whose legs suddenly come to life after the crash,we have a person whose cancer gets treated automatic after arriving on the island,we have a smoke monster on the island which is an evil spirit,we have a time traveler,we have a con who likes to rob people,we have a criminal whose identity no one knows about,we have a guy who had won 150 million dollar lottery at home before the crash and who can also see ghosts apparently,we have an Iraqi torturer,we have a group of people called "the others" who were already at the island before the crash and who are now looking to kill the survivors of the crash,we have a crazy french lady who has been stuck at this island for 16 years,we have a whole army of the Dharma initiative people who have been at this island for decades doing government funded research,we have a guy who can see the past of a place after looking at that particular spot,we have an incest story plot in the first season,we have a white bright light in the center of the island which cannot fade or the whole world will die,we have a guy who does not age and has been on the island for centuries.




These are just some of the many plots of the show which make the show a hit.Because the stories and characters are connected this Tv show is a mind blowing roller coaster ride.




Without a doubt Matthew fox (jack) and terry o quin (Locke) are the two main characters of the show.The contrast in both these characters is amazing.They both are born leaders and want to help every single person on that plane.But jack wants to do everything to leave this island and thinks of the island as a curse while Locke disagrees.

 

Jack is the clear main lead in the starting seasons and in the latter seasons he plays supporting role.His character is that of a doctor who helps the survivors stay alive and is also the leader of the pack.He speaks the truth and is positive and ends up saving so many lives on the island with his skills.

Locke grows after the first season and after the mysteries of the island take different shapes and sizes,you obviously need more leaders.So he is another character who guides the survivors and is the most intelligent of the group.He has a passion for knives and adventure and when he magically gets up from his wheelchair after the plane crashes,He knows that this island is special.He knows that this is his destiny and even though they are all stuck on a deserted island,He is happy as he has an adventure to look forward too.

My personal favourite in the series was josh holloway aka swayer.He was definetly the most sexy of the characters and if i were gay i would go crazy over him.I have a wallpaper of his flawless body in my phone and i wish i could look like him someday.And how can you forget those dimples.WOW!! So sawyer was one of the leads throughout the whole show.He is arrogant and rude but also charming and has style.Even with his rudeness he attracts women.sawyer's importance in the later seasons rises and he is one of the main leads till the end of the show.

I have to mention the storyline of the korean couple on this show Daniel Dae Kim and Yunjin Kim.They are a married couple where the husband is a poor fisherman's son while the wife's father is a mafia back in Korea.They get married but the wife's father makes his son in law do things which take their relationship right at the edge.this couple story is full of drama,romance,lies and separation and will leave you wanting more.

Also both times i have cried watching this series were when the couple united after being separated from each other due to certain circumstances.Amazing actors.
