"Lost" is one of those rare television shows that generates an excitement and interest from the viewer. It is indeed very rare for a TV show to make you think and contemplate things. Few spring to mind e.g. David Lynch's excellent and short lived show "Twin Peaks" and Alan Ball's terrific "Six Feet Under". Both fresh and entertaining while offering genuine ideas and issues and creating stunning performances worthy of any big screen.
"Lost" is one of these shows. Written, staged and performed like a great film with it's stylised look and fast paced narrative it rarely puts a foot wrong.
Each episode offers fresh ideas and dilemmas for the 47 survivors of the plane crash.
The show features many excellent actors. Yunjin Kim is gripping as the oppressed wife and Matthew Fox is a likable hero. But the real great actors are Dominic Monaghan and Terry O'Quinn. The latter playing Locke. A mysterious and creepy man with a jaw dropping past acted with ever watchable relish. Monaghan plays washed up rock star Charlie and flawlessly balances chirpy humour with dark intensity.
It remains to be seen if "Lost" will answer all the questions it raises but until that time it will no doubt remain as chilling, gripping and unashamedly entertaining as when it first began.
