Lost's first season was phenomenal... I'd include the Season premiere of Season 2 to that too...
But it did lose its way - albeit some truly great individual episodes and plot twists still happened throughout (the Constant, Live Together, Die Alone, Tale of Two Cities, Through the Looking Glass etc)
But, damn, you look through that episode list?! it was like 20 episodes per season... that's mind blowing now, in light of prestige TV typically no more than 10 episodes.
I was a case of ABC trying to milk all they could from the series, at a big narrative detriment...it's amazing that the showrunners didn't fizzle out earlier.
