Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk ReviewAnybody whose faith in Lost was beginning to waiver will surely appreciate the fourth season of the show. For this is Lost firing on all cylinders, showing a willingness to answer a few more questions than usual, while not being afraid to deepen elements of the mystery of Ocean 815.

The big new idea for Lost season four, as introduced in the cliffhanger at the end of the previous run, is flash-forwards, where we see some of the characters after they?ve left the island. This freshens the show immensely, and gives the writers some much-needed new meat to chew on. As a result, characters are more convincingly fleshed out, and more fun is had with the narrative in general.

There are still a few of the ailments that have hindered Lost in the past. Whenever Matthew Fox?s Jack takes centre-stage, for instance, it still tends to be an episode to forget, while one or two sub-plots are allowed to meander a little more than they should. Yet it?s a transitionary season, moving the show towards its final two years by beginning to fill in some of the blanks we?ve been lacking. And with a cliffhanger at the end that, once more, has the potential to firmly pull the rug from under your feet, it?s very clear that Lost has plenty more tricks up its sleeve to come. A terrific season of an increasingly bold show. --Simon Brew

Rating: - Storyline should have been shorter and snappier..
Lost was originally only meant to last for a maximum of 3 series with a very clear storyline set out. However as with most successful TV programmes in the USA, the suits wanted to extend the run of their golden goose for much longer.

I know lots of people love this show but I lost interest half way through series 3 and have not returned as I now feel the storylines have become more and more weird and incoherent. I now have the impression that Lost will become like the X Files (which ... Read More

Rating: - Could Rescue Be in Sight?
Since crash landing on the island, all the survivors of Oceanic flight 815 have wanted is rescue. And now they think it has come. A boat and a helicopter are waiting not too far from shore. This is thrilling news to Jack (Matthew Fox). Locke (Terry O'Quinn), on the other hand, is convinced they all need to stay on the island. And so the survivors are split into two camps.

But when the "rescue party" arrives on the island, they don't seem to know who any of the survivors are and ... Read More

Rating: - Lost the plot
I thought Season One and Two were fantastic, and the mystery and lacks of answers was enthralling. However, I felt that Season Three started to go astray, and it just seemed to keep creating crazy questions just to keep us on the edge of our seats. If you felt that about Season Three, then you will continue to be frustrated with this season. Instead of flash-backs, we now have flash-fowards, which seem great, but through the progression of the season, the situation on the island becomes more and ... Read More
