LOST is coming back to Netflix
I have to go back.
It’s been a long time since ABC’s big hit lost was available to stream on Netflix in the U.S. Now, we can finally return to the island and join the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815 as they navigate a storyline that includes mysterious polar bears, dangerous others, and everything from the best TV shows of all time to some of the most disappointing.
The series aired on ABC from September 22, 2004 to May 23, 2010. Created by J.J. Abrams, Damon Lindelof and Jeffrey Lieber, the show combines elements of mystery, science fiction and supernatural fiction, woven into a character-driven narrative with plenty of flashbacks, flash-forwards and even the occasional flash-sideway. But primarily, lost is all about the characters you love and the way they interact with each other.
lost Set on a mysterious island in the South Pacific, the film tells the story of a diverse cast and a constantly changing roster of extras.
- Jack Shepherd (Matthew Fox): He is a spine surgeon and the de facto leader of the group.
- Kate Austen (Evangeline Lilly): A fugitive with a troubled past.
- John Locke (Terry O’Quinn): A paraplegic who regains the use of both legs on the island and comes to believe in the island’s mystical powers.
- James “Sawyer” Ford (Josh Holloway): A conman with a tragic past.
- Sayid Jarrah (Naveen Andrews): Former Iraqi Republican Guard torturer.
- Harley Reyes (Jorge Garcia): A lottery winner who, after a string of bad luck, hits one very important number.
- Kwon Seong-hwa (Kim Yunjin) and Kwon Jin-soo (Daniel Dae Kim): A couple dealing with marital and cultural tensions.
- Charlie Pace (Dominic Monaghan): A drug-addicted rock star down on his luck.
The show is packed with fascinating subplots and clues, such as Harley’s lottery numbers (4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42), which ultimately play a key role in some of the island’s greatest mysteries.
Many fans were divided and upset by the series finale, but I still lost Most of it feels very nostalgic and relatable. I wish I was reviewing TV shows back then! I miss the days when we would all watch a new episode at the same time and talk about it afterwards. The rise of streaming has ruined all of that.
It was also one of the first network television shows to push the envelope. The Sopranos Proving that cable TV can be just as appealing and “premium” as the movies, Breaking Bad, It marked the beginning of the Golden Age of Television.
All 6 seasons lost It will be available on Netflix from today, June 1st. I can’t wait to watch it again.

Fun trivia:
when lost When it last aired on Netflix in 2016, fans noticed that the series finale was 18 minutes shorter than the 104-minute finale that originally aired on ABC. Many scenes were missing! (Don’t click if you want to avoid spoilers).
Showrunner Damon Lindelof (The Leftovers, Watchmen, Mrs. Davis) was confused by the change, but it was simply a mistake made in the jump from network reruns to streaming.
“I’m completely baffled by all of this,” Lindelof told EW at the time. “Love it or hate it, the final episode that aired was the definitive finale, and changing it is inexplicable. This doesn’t seem to me to be Netflix’s fault… It was an honest mistake, something that was miscommunicated. I recall ABC having to edit the show down to “format” (42 minutes to allow for commercials) for reruns, and somehow [version] It was accidentally sent to Netflix, which happened sometimes with our final episodes. We asked for extra time and ABC agreed to air it, but we had to make a tighter version for later broadcast and international broadcast. [markets]Typically these (painful) cuts would be left to the editor’s discretion, but since the show will continue to be available on DVD and Netflix, there’s really no reason to release an abbreviated version.”
In 2023, Maureen Ryan published an excerpt from her book, Burn It Down, in Vanity Fair, detailing the alleged racism and sexism she faced during the making of The Prisoner of Azkaban. lost. The piece is controversial in itself, but well worth the read.
