Celebrating 20 Years of Lost
Debuting in 2004 and running for six twist-filled seasons, Lost follows the survivors of the crash of Oceanic flight 815 as they attempt to understand and escape a mystical island where they are stranded after their plane goes down. Led by Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, Lost featured an innovative flashback and flashforward story structure that allowed audiences to dive deeper into the characters of the show as well as the mysteries surrounding their circumstances. Often thought to be one of the greatest TV series of all time, Lost’s sixth season finale remains one of the most discussed and divisive episodes of television in history.
