What is the show Lost about? Like what's the plot??

Question

I've never seen it, and probably never will. But to me it looks/seems like a Gilligan's Island-except it's a drama and not a sitcom.

Answer 1

"Lost is an Emmy and Golden Globe award-winning serial drama television series that follows the lives of a group of plane crash survivors on a mysterious tropical island, somewhere in the South Pacific.

Season 1

Main article: Lost (season 1)

Season 1 began airing in the United States on September 22, 2004 and featured 24 episodes[33] that aired Wednesdays at 8:00. A plane crash strands the surviving passengers of Oceanic Flight 815 on a seemingly deserted tropical island, forcing the group of strangers to work together to stay alive. However, their survival is threatened by mysterious entities including polar bears, an unseen creature that roams the jungle, and the island's malevolent inhabitants known as the "Others". They encounter a Frenchwoman who was shipwrecked on the island over sixteen years earlier and find a mysterious metal hatch buried in the ground. An attempt is made to leave the island on a raft.

Season 2

Main article: Lost (season 2)

Season 2 began airing in the United States and Canada on September 21, 2005 and featured 23 episodes[33] airing on Wednesdays at 9:00. Most of the story, which continues 45 days after the crash, focuses on the main conflict between the survivors and the Others, with the continued clash between faith and science being thematic in certain episodes. While some mysteries are resolved, new questions are raised. New characters are introduced, including the tail-section survivors and other island inhabitants. More island mythologies and insights into the survivors' pasts are divulged. The hatch is explored and the existence of The DHARMA Initiative and its benefactor, The Hanso Foundation, are revealed. As the truth about the mysterious Others begins to unfold, one of the crash survivors betrays the other castaways, and the cause of the plane crash is revealed."

Answer 2

I can't explain LOST to you. You'd have to watch it from the very beginning or you'll be VERY confused. Basically, a group of people are flying from Sydney to L.A. Along the way their plane crashes thousands of miles off course. The island they're on is no ordinary island. There are underground hatches, polar bears, smoke monsters, and other people already living there. One of the main points in the show is that everything happens for a reason. Everyone on the plane has met each other before without realizing it ; everyone on the island is connected.

The show is a lot better than I've made it sound. You just have to watch it. If you do watch it I would strongly advise watching the first two seasons on DVD first.

Answer 3

Gilligan's Island it ain't. Basics of the show: plane from Australia to California goes down; problem is plane is 1000 miles off course, so no one knows where they are. 46 people survive, they hear strange sounds from the island jungle - some kind of monster. Island was site of some type of experiment, which may still be going on. People get killed; people get kidnapped; people fall in love; people fall in hate. There's a website lost-tv.com that literally has transcripts of every episode. Advise going in and reading a few to get the gist of what's going on. Like I said - this ain't Gilligan's Island, and Gilligan wouldn't last a minute.

Answer 4

I didn't watch it the first season. Rent the DVD's from first 2 seasons first & you'll be hooked! It is NOTHING like Gilligan's Island & it has great eye candy!

Answer 5

Basically it's about the relationships among some people who survived a plane crash and are stranded on a tropical island. You can read a lot more about it at http://lost-spoilers-blog.blogspot.com/ . There also are so real bad people called the others who are killing the survivors one at a time.
