To me, Lost is a lot like 24, in that it is best enjoyed if you only watch the first season, or maaayyybbbeee the second.. becuase each of those shows were only intended to be basically mini-series, lasting 12 or 15 episodes.. then when they became crazy successful cash cows, the writers were ordered to churn out more and more seasons, when that’s not how those shows were intended to go… im sure there are more examples, but those are the famous ones that i happen to have watched myself , and greatly lost (pun intended) interest after the first season or two of each .
