It was only yesterday I was writing about how refreshing it is tosee a new thriller series climb the Netflix chart–The Madnessis a strong drama that sits above the obvious Christmas shows,which I can’t wait to watch– but then I spotted an era-defining sci-fi series and it really took me back.

Lostis a six-season show that genuinely turned the rulebook on its head. It pretty much redefined the cliffhanger, it took sci-fi notions in all kinds of new directions – and I’ve only just realised that the full show is back on Netflix (which happened back in August this year, I just hadn’t noticed!).

It’s fitting that the show is back onthe best streaming service– as it’s now 20 years since its 2004 debut (yes, two whole decades). When the show aired weekly back then it was a big deal – I remember people would stay up late to watch the early-hours airings and conspiracy theories were rife about the goings-ons.

Lost

It was also a hugely well-received series –scoring 100% on Rotten Tomatoes at its bestfor season two. Even now the reviews of the first five seasons sit really high in people’s estimations – it’s only the frankly absurd (no spoilers!) final season that jumped the shark. Still, it’s worth going back in for more, because I can almost guarantee there’ll be a load of bits you’ve forgotten about.

Lostwas also the show to catapult Matthew Fox into the spotlight – for a rather quick-lived lick of fame, it seems, as he was edited out of the limelight (and even literally from appearances –World War Zbeing the main example) and never quite made it back to the big time. The 2000s were a different world, eh?
