Rewind & Review Ep 7 - Lost: Part One (2004-2010)

We have to go back!

In 2004 the world of television was in need of a game changer. Along came Lost.

Lost is the American drama series full of a whole lot of mystery, which premiered on the ABC on September 22, 2004, running for six seasons until May 23, 2010, comprising a total of 121 episodes. Created by Jeffrey Lieber, J. J Abrams, and Damon Lindelof, with Carlton Cuse and Lindelof serving as showrunners and head writers, Lost is a show that blended character driven drama with elements of supernatural and science fiction.

Following the survivors of a commercial plane crash, Oceanic Airlines 815 on a mysterious tropical island somewhere in the South Pacific Ocean, Lost’s story is told in a heavily serialized manner, with episodes typically featuring a primary storyline set on the island, augmented by flashbacks, and later flash-forward sequences (as well as a flash-sideways concept in season six), providing additional insight into the involved characters. As the series progresses, Lost evolves from a show about a group of castaways to a show with a rich and expansive mythology, with mysteries to uncover such as The Monster, The Hatch, The Numbers, The Others, The Freighter People, The Dharma Initiative, Jacob, and so much more.

There was no way we could squeeze everything into an acceptable podcast length, so we bring you the first of two parts. We look at the ensemble of characters and focus on the first three seasons in Part One of our Lost Rewind & Review.
