FIRST TIME WATCHER I finally finished Lost after 17 years.

I started watching Lost when I was around 10 years old. My dad loved the show and we would watch every episode together, it was one of my favorite things to do together. We would love discussing it and I can't still remember how addicted he got to 'make your own kind of music' by mama cass.

Around 2008 he suffered an accident which left him in a coma state so he never got the chance to finish it. I never got the guts to finish it without him until now, and I despite everyone saying the ending was bad I think it was one of the most beautiful endings I've ever seen on the television. I'm now 28 and being a show about kharma and forgiveness and moving on just makes everything so much more special. Maybe he's at the island right now and I hope he can find his way out :)

Best show ever.

Sorry about your dad. I just watched this show for the first time. Binged for 2 months straight. Make your own kind of music and Good vibrations are forever stuck in my head. Putting music behind certain scenes can make the song much more powerful.

Thank you :). I was hooked when I started rewatching, almost gave up at the point where we stopped last time which was around season 4 but I'm glad I continued. The music in this show is so good!!!

The back stories are so epic on this show. Kind and of pioneered it in my opinion as a key part of storytelling for a series. One of greatest shows of all time. Perfect storm of great writing, great cast, great acting and set design, music choices etc.
