I can stay relevant here, and provide some people with something annoying to complain about, Lost annoys me.
I think its mainly because people overlook plenty of far superior TV Series in its favour, but being a bit more critical, I think its the lack of direction, the writers admit that its half made up as they go, and for me that just doesn't work, it doesn't bode well for an interesting overall plot arc.
Watch something that will blow your mind like The Wire, The West Wing, Mad Men, Generation Kill, The Sopranos, The Shield (or at least the latter stuff, the first few seasons were just macho super cop stuff, no mind blowing plot) and loads more, they are on a different level of writing.
David Lynch is a massive winner though, I'm not sure anyone else can inspire such terror (except maybe a select few), everything he touches feels drenched with suspense, but for no apparent reason, Genius
