I’ll just say that I was disappointed.

A lot of people loved it because “it’s all about the characters and relationships”. I wasn’t one of those people.
Lost hooked me so hard. After maybe 4 or 5 seasons I started thinking "oh no". Then the final season happened and I felt duped.

It's been compressed with The Leftovers, but I see the same pattern: start with an interesting premise, introduce compelling characters, over-spend time developing these characters, add another mystery, add yet another mystery, pack on the mysteries, ignore a handful of previous mysteries, pack down 3 more mysteries, kill character(s) most involved in 90% of those mysteries....

Spoiler!


I'm just hoping it doesn't turn that way, and please nobody spoil it because this is the current show getting me on the treadmill for 2 hours a day, but damn doesn't this all feel too familiar.
