Lost - The Complete Seasons 1-3

I stumbled on Lost by accident. I was trying to download something else and I must have clicked when I should have scrolled....and lo and behold, I ended up with the Lost pilot. An hour later I bought the season one DVD set at Best Buy. I didn't even bother to put on pants, I just went.

Lost has that power. The power to entrance and mesmerize, to immediately captivate the viewer and hold their attention. Strangely enough, it can also repulse with the same magnitude, creating vocal critics, it seems, with every new episode.

Some people find the characters fake, the sci-fi elements lame, the story line absurd and the twists insulting to their intelligence. They lament that questions are never answered, new ones constantly introduced, plot lines left un-ended, etc. The big payoff they suspect, will not be forthcoming.

Maybe they are right, who knows? What I do know is that Lost is one of the best shows on television right now: great writers, great art direction, great acting, and a story you can really get hooked on.

In my opinion the DVD sets are the way to go. You can watch the episodes without interruption and with picture and audio quality that is far superior to network television. For 33 bucks a pop you get around 20 hours of entertainment (per set), and once you've watched them all you'll want to go back and view them again to catch all the hints and connections you missed the first time around.

Hate it or love it, I don't care. To each his own I say. As for where the series is headed, the big payoff - I don't see the need for speculation or bickering. Someone else is driving; I'm just along for the ride, but what a ride it's been!

I have been a Lost fan since it started. This set of seasons 1 - 3 does not disappoint, I saw scenes I missed on broadcast TV, and has brought me back up to speed for the next seasons beginning.

I love the series--I especially like to watch it w/o commercials. There is too much that is 'lost' given commercial breaks. Watching uninterrupted is AWESOME. Lost is a great series!.

I love the show so there's no question about the product. But to anyone who wants these fast (maybe for a gift) don't opt for the free shipping. Just pay the $2-4. It took two weeks to get this by mail (one week before Amazon shipped, another week where it sat on a shelf in Phoenix). In this age, that's archaeic to me. Good thing this is just for me.

Utterly appalling. I was so intrigued to see what it was supposed to be one of the best television series, What a disappointment!!, I watched the entire season 1 and still didn't understand why LOST was so admired, so I jumped season 2, and tried season 3 to see if something has happened, and I was so amazed to see that not a thing happened. LOST is so incredible boring, there's no action at all, no brain action, This is absolutely NOT a thinking person's notion of stimulating entertainment, If I were you, I would watch the first and last episode and I sware you won't miss a thing. They will be lost forever. I even thought that I should be hight (drugged) to get it, But i was tired of loosing my time here. Writers must be so astonished to see how people see this nonsense show, with no answers.. just question after question and I'm pretty sure they will come with ridiculous answers at the end. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME with this garbage. Try Prison Break which is an absolute 10!!! with great acting, plot and superb suspense. When your're used to great suspense LOST is just a piece of junk.
