Lost is a science fiction thriller show about a group of strangers stranded on a supernatural island after a plane crash. Lost is a unique show from the rest of the shows in this genre. Instead of the plot of the series driving the story forward, it is in fact the characters that makes this series so iconic. Each character of the show is perfectly flawed. They each bring with them secrets and hidden pasts to the island. As the story progress there is a complex bond that form between the characters. Every character has a driving forcing for them to get off the island. I think the mysterious island and the unknown monsters that live on it is just a added bonus to this great show. The main theme of this show is of self-reflection. The more the cast is on the show they start to questioning their lives and how they live it. The main character of the show Jack Shepherd is a doctor that has an obsession with saving people. He is the leader among the group of strangers. The people of the island view him as someone who is hero. They are dependent on him alone to guide them to safety and a way off the island. I highly recommend for anyone interested in science fiction thriller genre to give this show a shot.
