HOTTEST SHOW 2004 "Lost" is probably the best new show of the season, and one of the best in television (I can only think of "24" as better, but I can understand people who think it's the best drama on TV). JJ Abrams created a magnificent world for "Lost", full of mystery, beautiful scenery and strong characters. It takes only 10 minutes into the Pilot to see the show is not like anything previously seen on television. The production value in the pilot amazed me, and the thriller part grabbed me. But since the third episode, I was hooked for the characters, and the mystery aspect of the show. I sure hope all the questions the fans asked all season long will be partially answered by season's end (the powers-that-be promise they have a "show bible"), but with this show, after every questions is answered, a new one arises. There's a big cinematic feel to the show (The Hawaiian landscape dosen't hurt), great directing, writing (JJ assembled great writers to create great team), and masterful acting. The casting is almost perfect, for example Terry O'Quinn as spiritual Locke, Josh Holloway as con-man Sawyer, or Jorge Garcia as lovable Hurley (fantastic comic-relief, far surpasses Marshal on "Alias", another Abrams show). The DVD is really worth it: Seeing previous episodes in second-viewing after you get to know the character's stories (through the flashbacks, a great narrative the show uses almost-always successfully) is really interesting. I hope the show continues to fascinate in further seasons, cause it looks like we've got ourselves a winner.
