Netflix users in the UK only have a matter of days left to binge a show many have described as ‘the greatest TV series of all time.’

First airing in 2004, Lost helped to revolutionise dramatic television as we know it.

Following a group of passengers stranded on a mysterious island after a catastrophic plane crash, it left viewers fascinated, frustrated and infatuated, in equal measure.

Following its history-making first season, the show went on to accumulate five more series before coming to an end in May 2010.

Since then, viewers have continued to unpack the island’s many mysteries, with the show experiencing a resurgence when it was first added to Netflix last August.

While its divisive ending may have sent Lost off on a somewhat sour note, it remains well-regarded by fans and critics alike.

Its collective six seasons boast an impressive 86% Fresh score on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.

Its audience score sits at an even healthier 89%, with some viewers still holding it up as one of – if not the greatest – TV shows of all time.

‘The greatest TV show ever made. Not even close to be honest,’ wrote Rotten Tomatoes user Derek R.

‘Absolutely amazing, acting was incredible. I will never stop praising/recommending this show 15 years since after its ending,’ said Noah P.

Boopi H commented: ‘One of the most mysterious, magical shows ever presented. nearly every episode came up with new, often mind blowing, twist that left me totally transfixed & begging for more. hated seeing it end.’

‘No other show has ever hooked me like LOST did,’ said Ray.

Over the course of its six seasons, viewers followed the simmering love triangle of tortured surgeon Jack Shepherd (Matthew Fox), criminal Kate Austen (Evangeline Lilly) and conman Sawyer (Josh Holloway).

The three stars led an enormous cast, which also included the mysterious Locke (Terry O’Quinn), loveable Hurley (Jorge Garcia) and creepy Ben Linus (Michael Emerson).

While it may have struggled under the weight of its own impenetrable mysteries, the show consistently put out what many have declared some of the best episodes of TV – including the mind-bending season 4 episode The Constant, and season 3’s devastating two-part finale, Through the Looking Glass.

Its successes may have been overshadowed by a divisive (and arguably oft-misunderstood) ending, but it never Lost (heh) sight of its characters, all of whom still resonate today.

Given the show’s iconic status, it’s inevitable, then, that audiences have been holding out for a reboot or sequel series.

Earlier this year, co-executive producer Drew Goddard (who came aboard during its third season) weighed in on the chances of a return to the island, telling Variety: ‘This question comes up on various shows that I’ve done, and I always feel strongly that I don’t want to just do karaoke of the show I used to do.

‘I’d only be interested if we felt like we could do something special and new within the construct of the show.

‘And then some of it just comes down to time and appetite. So there’s no plan for it today. But never say never.’
