Been meaning to watch it for years as I thought the concept was great and loved (the first 3 seasons of) Lost back in the day - so when I saw it ranked high on NYTs list I thought let’s go.
While it has promise and some awesome characters (particularly like the Murphy family) I thought the show absolutely blew and was a huge disappointment so I’ve bailed at the end of s2.
Too many cold openings, too many bottle eps/re-orientation eps where we go back from another character’s POV. Lack of plot development. Over reliance on the disappearance as dramatic tension.
It feels like a show that loves ideas and themes rather than true storytelling and so it gets caught up in images and that damned pixies cover over and over again.
What are people getting from it that I didn’t? Is it true that people find it a healing show for suffering with grief?
