Lost is a cult series created by American directors and producers in the genre of mysticism, fantasy and Robinsonade.

Creating a series

The television series Lost first appears on TV screens in September 2004. Filming continues until May 2010. In just 6 years, six seasons were released, consisting of 121 episodes. Directors worked on the series: J. J. Abrams, D. Bender, S. Williams and others.

The series began airing on ABC after the channel's director suggested that director J. J. Abrams create a series about a shipwreck on a desert island. Abrams was interested in the idea, but he was not sure about its implementation. He turns to D. Lindelof for help, together they create a masterpiece that will later be released on television.

The creation of the series took place in a busy schedule, the schedule was strict. Abrams worked on the unique style of the film and its characters. The cast of Lost are the best fit for their roles.

Seasons and episodes

The whole series consists of 6 seasons. All seasons include 121series. In the first, 25 episodes were shot, in the second - 24, then 22, 14, 18, 18. Each last episode is doubled. Episodes are 45 minutes long. The fourth season was supposed to include 16 episodes, and the subsequent ones - 17 each. However, during the filming there was a small strike of writers, it was decided to stop the fourth season at episode 14. Instead, the directors added the missing episodes in the fifth and sixth seasons.

Each episode begins with a review of past events that are directly related to the future story. Often the film starts with a close-up of the eye of one of the characters, it was this character who was to play the main role in the series. But D. Shepard's eye was the main one. It is with this eye that the entire television series begins and ends. At the most tense moment, a black logo appears on the screen with blurry text "Lost".

Each season is radically different from the others. Each has its own methods of presenting the plot, and they are not repeated. But the quiet sound in the series emphasizes the significance of events. Many of them end at the most interesting place. This technique is called "cliffhanger". The main thing is that the actors of the film "Lost" made their important contribution to the success of the project.
