After six seasons and 121 episodes, Lost concluded its run on May 23rd, 2010. Created by J.J. Abrams, Damon Lindelof, and Jeffrey Lieber and overseen by Lindelof and producer Carlton Cuse, the island-set drama has garnered 10 Emmy Awards, 31 Emmy nominations, 1 Golden Globe Award, 6 Golden Globe Nominations, and countless other honors throughout its six years on ABC (Internet Movie Database).
Loved by audiences and critics alike, Lost has been hailed by Newsweek as "the #1 best show," and USA Today has dubbed it "the most gorgeous, audacious, expansive series on network TV." The Hollywood Reporter compliments the writing staff and the large cast, calling the series "cleverly constructed and superbly acted," while Matt Roush of TV Guide claims that "you'd be crazy not to watch." Audiences seem to agree, the series finale alone earning an impressive 13.5 million viewers according to Entertainment Weekly.
USA Today writes: "let Lost remind you of how spectacular network programming can be." Lost reminded its viewers that, in an age where cable series are beginning to take over, a major network series can be just as creative, stimulating, and thrilling. Based on both its ratings and its critical praise, it will be dearly missed.
Thank you, Lost, for an incredible, complex, and creative six years that will likely be remembered as one of the greatest television sagas of all time.
