Lost
The plane crash was the easy part. Facing their pasts was the real survival story. ✈️🏝️
Who it's for
Each Lost episode pairs island drama with a flashback into one survivor's past, so the show is built around the idea that people bring their regrets, addictions and family wounds with them wherever they go.
Feelings it meets
What it is
Created by Jeffrey Lieber, J. J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof for ABC, Lost follows survivors of Oceanic Airlines Flight 815 after their plane crashes on a mysterious Pacific island, where they face environmental dangers, mysterious threats and inhabitants called the Others. Episodes pair island events with characters' backstories, later adding flash-forwards and flash-sideways depicting an alternate timeline.
