REVIEW

I'm a little behind, I know.

But I have now knitted through the 12 first episodes of "Lost", the first season. I'm afraid my conclusion is: this is the worst TV-series produced in a long time. I would like to write ever, but I'm afraid IMDB will prove me wrong on that.

"Lost" is a show with big budget, cutest cast since "Beverly Hills 90210", beautiful lighting, massive TV-company backup, and really neat ocean sound work.

But seriously?

This nothingness of cliffhangers and endless questions with no answers! I have enough of that in real life.

It's like "Survivor" without tan lines, engaging conflicts and rationed rice. It's like "The Da Vinci Code" spread out over 300.000 pages instead of 300 pages. It's like "Twin Peaks" without a vague feeling of weird kinkiness, sex, red lipstick, great soundtrack, fog, bizarre characters, cherry pie and David Lynch.

In short, it's like "Baywatch" without David Hasselhoff.

The writers seem to be way more lost than the title hints. How do they remember all the loose hanging threads that they've left behind on their way to the Emmy red carpet?

I just want to go to that bloody island and dress everybody in scout uniforms and whip some sense into them. May them all die of bug bites before the next season begins!
