Editorial Reviews: And so it begins. It’s hard to pinpoint just when you realise how good Lost actually is. Granted, the opening episode is an astonishingly assured way to start, replete with an almighty plane crash on a seemingly deserted desert island. Yet as those who have followed the hype are well aware, there’s far more on offer here, with carefully woven plotlines introducing a series of characters who are slowly and intriguingly fleshed out throughout the 25 episodes in this set. At its best, Lost is a delicately layered adventure, laced with some stand-out moments. You’ll find ample instances of them here, as well as umpteen examples of the quality of writing that underpins the show. Far fetched? Yes, occasionally, and you could also argue that it takes a while to recapture the energy of those dramatic opening episodes. But this is still a lavish, compulsive show that benefits heavily from its clearly substantial production budget. Naturally as there are more episodes made and planned, there are plenty of building blocks being put in place for later on, both through the evolving life on the island and the plethora of flashbacks that back it up. Yet it’s at this point that the quality of Lost really hits home, thanks to lots of short term excitement with plenty still to enjoy as the show progresses. That makes Lost Series One a rewarding purchase, and one that promises even greater things ahead.--Simon Brew
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Simple - Best Tv Show Ever Comment: Essential for anybody with a dvd player. A great tv show that will have you hooked from the opening scene of the first episode, no other tv show can compare with it. Customer Rating: Summary: Whoever named this place Dark Territory. Genius. Comment: How did I not watch this for the whole 3 years it's been running!? It is the best US TV show I have ever seen! That is a pretty bold statement really when there's shows with CSI, The X Files, Twin Peaks and 24's standards to live up to, but this show is absolutely amazing. Never before has there been a show where there are so many main characters, all of which get enough of the spotlight to really get to know them all and their backgrounds. They are also such good characters where I was switching from loving to hating each one when different things were revealed as the series went on. I like how each episode focuses on a particular character and the events leading upto Flight 815, with the whole mystery of whether or not they are all on the island for a reason. There are just so many questions I want answers for and look forward to working out and finding out for myself as the series goes on, such as who are "the others"? What is the relevance of the numbers? Why are they on the island and can't get away? Why haven't they been rescued yet? What is the creature that lurks in the jungle? This show is also so addictive that I watched the whole 25 episodes in just under two weeks. Every episode has a cliff-hanger ending and the flashback sequences just add more and more mystery into the whole story. I'm just so glad that I got this in the series 1 - 3 boxset so now I can just go straight onto watching series 2, as this is not a show where you can just stop watching it after finishing a series and then wait a while to watch the next. Overall this show is dark, mysterious, exciting, happy, sad, funny and scary all rolled into one with some of the best characters and storylines I've ever seen in a TV show. Each episode is so well made with some great locations and special effects that it feels like a short movie each time. This is now my new favourite TV show ever! Customer Rating: Summary: champion stuff! Comment: Lost is a show that i didnt pay any attention too on its first airing on television,it wasnt even hype that forced me to watch it recently,it was just there to watch and so from the first episode i had no expectations but that was all i needed to see to become an addict of it. The first episode is vast in scope and ambition,a plane crash with all the trimmings and confusion packed into one episode.From the wreckage we find death and life,the survivors round up and take to a potential leader in the madness called jack,a doctor,the survivors start to form little friendships and await rescue but they are 1000 miles of course. Over the following 24 episodes the show goes through different forms of pace,some have said that nothing ever really happens,this isnt the case,the show finds its success in going where it wants to at the expense of viewer demand or expectation. Of the 40 survivors or so we get to know a click of about 12 or so,we are afforded flashbacks to their times before the crash to give us insight,to maybe see if they have anything in common,anything at all,episodes end with cliffhangers and equally they dont,there is some very weird stuff that happens that had me shouting at the tv and confusion is part of this show,lucky for me i have season two now as well,this is a masterpiece of drawn out suspense and you will find nothing out fast,clever trick i guess and im hooked so the creators have beaten me. Customer Rating: Summary: Live together or Die alone Comment: From the first episode of Lost i became completely addicted. Very rarely does a TV programme come along which blows you away, the last that did this for me was Band of Brother's. The basic idea of the show has been done before, plane crash on a mystical island, passengers survive and hope for rescue but this is where the magic of Lost kick's in and all sort's of strange happening's start scaring and surprising the survivors. Each episode is based on one of the main charecter's and with how they are dealing with the island while showing flashback's to their past so you learn about the type of person they were before the crash. The mystery and suspense had me hooked, the location and scenery was beutifully shot and the music compliments the show perfectly. There's not one weak episode out of the 25 and the end of season cliffhanger was brilliant and left me gasping for more. There's something for everyone in this programme and i would be amazed if you don't enjoy it! Brilliant!! Customer Rating: Summary: Amazing .... didn't think so Comment: You need to watch Lost, and if you're a girl you definitely got to see it even if it's only for Josh Holloway... yes ladies, gosh he's hot! No, but seriously, the series is amazing... nobody comes to save them, they think the "others" is the enemy, but actually the Island is "alive" and does play a role as a character. Lost is scary, and has a lot of mytery going on. It makes you want to know what will happen in season 2, 3, etc. What I find really special is also the fact that in each episode it focuses on one of the character's past, and you understand them more, where they come from, their fears, strenghts and weaknesses. This is not a waste of money. You should definitely get it. Can't wait to see season 2 and 3. More Reviews
