In a world full of sitcoms, reality tv, and cop dramas Lost is like a breath of fresh air. At first glance you might think "I bunch of people trapped on a deserted island. Oh boy, it's Survivor 10 only this times it's scripted. Boring.", but Lost is a bit more than that.
One of the main draws of Lost is that although it has about 40 characters each one is unique, having their own personality, background, and reaction to the events that are unfolding around them. Another high point of the series is the abundance of strange occurances that happen in nearly every episode. I don't want to give too much away, but one of the mysteries is a gigantic "something" that has killed at least one person and generally crashes around in the woods making lots of noise. That's not the only thing, though, but you should watch it yourself to see what else happens.
The first episode is mostly setting up each of the characters and doesn't really go into much detail about any of them, but later episodes spend quite a bit of time focusing on developing the characters and showing their backgrounds.
Lost is a great new series, probably one of the best in years. If you haven't seen any of the episodes yet, my advice is don't start watching the show now because you'll have no idea what's going on. You should be able to find the episodes you missed for download somewhere and if you can't you might want to wait until it comes out on DVD.
