A Television Show cant get any Bigger than this

Am back with a review again and this time, it's the television show - "LOST". The beginning of the pilot itself was intriguing and I had no second opinion that this show will be nothing but a smash hit and it turned out to be one. The first attempt to see lost went in vain for me coz there was too many flashbacks in an episode (I later started enjoying the flashbacks)

So after some time I gave it another shot and there was no turning back for me this time. I was so hooked to this show, i completed 4 seasons in a week. 75 episodes with 45 minutes in each one, I was on a roll (exams naasama pochu, obviously :))

The show revolves around the 48 survivors of the plane OCEANIC 815 from Sydney To Los Angeles. All though there are 48 of them, the focus is on 15 odd characters who form the cream of the show. The main characters Jack Shephard, Kate Austen, John Locke, Hugo Hurley, James "Sawyer" Ford, the Kwons, Desmond, Sayid do justice to their roles respectively. My favourites are Hugo who takes care of the humour part of this racy adventure and Sawyer who is the bad boy of the group and his use of nicknames to address others although might be a cliche, but is nothing but amusing.

The first season is a bit boring and the final episode unravels some mysteries in the island, they crash and the show is off. Another character that must be talked about is Benjamin Linus who is the real bad guy of the show and his character is designed with perfection. I would rate him as high as T-Bag from Prison Break who has set a whole league for himself up there after his performance.

Although the reality of the show is compromised with concepts like the "smoke monster", time travelling and the Island that actually "moves", the show has every ingredient to it to blow the charts off and become the best soap opera ever to hit the television sets. I was rather disappointed to see Ana Lucia, a hot latina cop played by Michelle Rodriguez (that pilot lady from Avatar) die early in the show coz that chick was worth gawking at.

As many as 11 directors were used through the span of 6 years to direct the episodes and every director has gone about his job with expertise and a clear vision and this reflects on the show. The cast does not have a lot of well known faces(for me) excepting for Ana and Jack who is played by Matthew Fox. Fox is the lead character and he is offered a solid support from Kate(played by Lilly,E)

And I would like to state that this show has transformed from a soap opera to an Epic. The cast is excellent, plot - awesome, creative direction, emotions, romance, fun and tons of adventure, the show has got every thing and I would give it 9.4/10 and I recommend every one to check this out, coz this is worth watching.
