With reality TV raping the broadcasts for several years, Lost was the show that rescued us with awesome serialized drama. It introduced us to the Island and the unfortunate survivors of Oceanic Flight 815. It had mystery. It had compelling characters. It had action. It had it all.
But what really separated Lost from other contenders was the storytelling. The plot did not go a traditional Point A to B. It started at Point D, then C, then E then B; and we haven't even gotten to A yet. Surely this would lead to a completely broken story that's impossible to follow! But no, somehow it all makes sense in a crazy way.
If for some reason you haven't watched this show yet, start right away. Lost changed television by proving it can be a more as a legitimate medium.
