underrated shows ahead of their time im 100% serious, lost was

>only people who didn't like it couldn't suspend disbelief for more than 5 minutes

People suspended their disbelief for 5 seasons you fukken nerd

The worst aspect of being conned with art is that victims will never admit to having been conned.

>People suspended their disbelief for 5 seasons you fukken nerd

Actually they thought they were going get a complete 100% walkthrough of everything that happened and got mad when they didn't. the people who ended up hating lost have no real imagination or feeling.

>>79204217

yeah the people who actually gave it a chance

so many people I talk to tell me how great the walking dead is or le breaking bad or game of thrones, but when I bring up Lost, they immediately call it shitty, and when I ask how many seasons they got through they 'only watched it like once or twice'

>>79204157
I'll buy that it was ahead of its time, but it is by no means underrated. People are correct in their retrospective assessment of the show.

>>79204273
Well said.

>b-but it was about the characters
People only say this about shows with shitty plots.

There's just something that feels empty and disappointing when watching a show where the writers didn't know the answers to the mysteries while they were writing them

>>79204157
Being highly popular while it was still on is the opposite of underrated. It was a hit show.

>>79204498
not funny

>>79204510

But how many books have you read where the author left the ending open for interpretation?

How is LOST any different?

Biggest scam in the history of television.

>>79204588
This defense is idiotic, writing is not as definite as audiovisual media and allows for more ambiguity, besides you're confusing "leaving things open to interpretation" with leaving a huge crater where a resolution should be.

>>79204157
It wasn't "underrated" whatsoever, it was the most discussed show on /tv/ by far while it was on.

LOST probably would have been great if they planned it out for a 4-season run from the get go. I was never satisfied with pretty much any resolution to any of the island's mysteries and some of them kind of still don't make any sense.

The Constant was like the only episode to setup an intredasting sci-fi hook and use it as a tool to tell a compelling story and resolve everything in a single compact episode. A lot of the rest of the series is filler.

I'll agree it was kind of ahead of its time though. I wouldn't agree that it's underrated, I think it's kind of overrated.

my interpration is that the island was a turlle

Here in Germany everyone loved Lost, And everytime you re-watch it you notice new things.
What annoyed me after the Final was that so many people on Twitter were saying the ending made no sense at all. What's wrong with these people.
And yes, it's really underrated. The only thing that was as good as Lost was a book
>The Stand by Stephen King
which i'm sure the Lost writers got inspiration from

>>79204707

okay. well I'll admit they didn't do the best job with making it clear what was happening, but I guess that is what I meant.

Have you rewatched it? I liked it the first time I watched it, but then years later I rewatched it and I loved it.

Obviously the pilot and the first season were a little cheesy, but that is because they didn't really know how far they were going to go with it.

>>79204157

Lost is poorly written garbage.

>>79205051
Every time I rewatch Lost I just watch the first two seasons and think about what could have been, before they went full retard.
