    Lost.

    god help me it was so fucking boring and riddled with holes. I still don’t understand how it was so popular.

      They did 2 things well (from an economic perspective) in my vaguely shit memory:

      • built of the success of castaway a few years earlier and survivor
      • marketed the absolute hell out of it pre-release. I remember hundreds of ads showing in the months leading to to it.

      It paved the way for a lot of long running, high budget tv shows like heroes, supernatural etc…

      I also severely disliked it.
