Empire Online names Lost one of 50 Best TV

by LiRa

Lost Best TV Show

UK based Empire Online Magazine has chosen Lost as one of its Top 50 Greatest Shows of all time. It’s actually on the fifth spot, naming the two-parter season ender from Season 1 (Exodus) as its best episode. (They have yet to watch, The Constant, huh?)…

Only time will tell whether it’s as clever as it seems, but few TV shows have gripped viewers’ imaginations like this hybrid of Swiss Family Robinson and Twin Peaks. An innovative structure in which each episode hones in on a different character, with flashbacks and flashforwards expanding their backstory, ensures the entire cast is fleshed out beyond the constraints of the primary narrative. But aside from the host of unique and colourful characters - from earnest Jack to cocky Sawyer, noble Jin to bug-eyed Ben - it’s the epic mysteries at the core of the story that keeps us coming back. What powers does the island have? What’s that polar bear doing in the tropics? And how come Hurley never loses weight despite being marooned on an island? | Empire Magazine

About Watching Lost

LOST - a television show that fascinates and captivates fans week after week. No show has ever prompted me to discuss it, theorize about it, question it, obsess over it, and write about it until now. That's what this site, Watching Lost, is all about. If you're like me and love LOST, then this is the place for you. Every weekday, I will bring you news, theories, spoilers, recaps, and general discussions about the show, the characters, and the actors. I am by no means a Lost expert, but I love the show, and I love trying to figure out what the heck is going on! We're all in this together, so please use the comment sections to keep discussions alive. Remember, live together, die alone. Enjoy!
