Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 January 2019 Verified Purchase Its basically East Enders castaway on a Hawaiian beach, with better looking actors. There's a bloody fight scene pretty much every episode and everyone's even more messed up and reactive than they are in real life. There's also some stupid mistakes and oversights; There's a very Indian looking guy who's supposed to be an Iraqi whose accent is thick as a brick but whose English is nevertheless perfect. In the episode I've just watched the beautiful blonde guy is described as naked coming out of the sea but in an atrocious piece of editing you can clearly see his jeans. That said, most of the acting's excellent and the plot's quite intriguing. It's also got a bit of spiritual depth. I just wish film and TV producers would quit assuming that everyone wants to see lots of melodrama and men running around acting like apes.
The plot focuses on the survivors of a plane crash who find themselves trapped on a mysterious island, and we get to see Lost's trademark flashbacks to the lives of the main characters and how they came to be on the doomed flight. There are plenty of twists and turns, and the gripping drama is bound to keep you on the edge of your seat. The acting is superb and the cinematography is astounding at times. The casting is spot on and despite the fantasy of the situation, the characters are believable and varied. The special effects and sounds are also brilliant. and it is clear that Lost is truly a big budget and high quality US show. There are plenty of interesting special features on the DVD to keep you entertained even after watching the 25 episodes. Highly recommended and well worth sinking your time into. Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 August 2016 Verified Purchase Back in the days before we could just open an app to watch a box set of a complete series, we used to use 'old fashioned' discs called DVD's.... LOL... Well, I had heard hype about this series and watched a couple of episodes from a friends box set when visiting.
