I have never understood peoples fascination with lost. It seems to me like it could be a great program and would be amazing to watch, but I feel thew story went on far to long and I never felt the initial pull to watch it. I think it is also one of those programs if you miss an episode then you are screwed a bit like Flashforward.

I also get this feeling with 24, they just want to continue the success and so have dragged out the story line just a bit too long. One thing I do admire from these US dramas is the quality, I think they have really raised the bar on production quality for TV. Shows like Lost, 24, Heroes, Fringe and Flashforward all have a really high standard of production. This really makes the stories so much more believable and immersive. In the UK the best channel for Drama’s like these has to be Sky1 and they show most of the good US dramas like Lost, 24, Bones, Fringe and Lie to Me.
