Lost

ABC broadcast the first episode of Lost in 2004.The series started with a scene on a flight from Sydney, Australia, to Los Angeles, USA. The planewas flying over the Pacific Ocean when, suddenly, it crashed. There were 324 passengers on the plane and everybody thought they were dead. But in themysterious world of Lost, 48 passengers survived.

The survivors landed on a small island and theyworked together to find food. Every day, they waited for a ship or a plane, but help never arrived. While they were living on the island, they had a lot of scary experiences. In one episode, the survivors were walking in the jungle when they saw a huge polar bear. They discovered that other people were living on the island, but ‘the Others’ weren’t friendly.

There was a flashback in every episode. These showed what the characters were doing before the plane crashed. One of the most interesting characters was the American doctor and leader of the group, Jack (played by Matthew Fox). The flashbacks explained a lot about the characters, but the island kept its secrets.

Audiences loved Lost because the plot was very unusual. The island was still a mystery when the series ended, after 114 episodes, in 2010.
