Reply to Is lost worth watching? by OKC2023champs

Lost had one of the absolute best pilot episodes I’ve ever seen, just completely hooked from the first 5 minutes. It got weird at the end, but the first several seasons were top notch. Lost was the first water cooler show I can remember. The day after a new EP aired, that’s all me and my coworkers would talk about.

Deadwood is top 5 TV, definitely definitely worth your time. It’s VERY vulgar language wise, but phenomenal show.

May I also recommend The Americans if you haven’t seen it? My favorite show ever (not THE best show ever, but my fave). So so good.

Agreed. The beepers/pay phones/trac disposable phones and the old technology of the show is obviously very dated already (and already was within just a couple years of it ending), but the writing and the acting is top notch and will stand tall, as Avon would say. It was real, it was raw, it showed the dirty and corrupt behind the scenes stuff that happens in every walk of life. I rewatch it about every two years and still find myself going “ok one more episode” at 1 am when I should go to bed. Best show ever.
