What is Lost about?

Well, there's a question that isn't simple to answer. On the surface, it is a show about the survivors of a plane crash who are stranded on a remote island with seemingly no way of getting home. But this is no ordinary island as there is a large smoke monster that kills people, polar bears, and numerous secrets and surprises awaiting the stranded passengers.

All the action does not take place on the island though as we get flashbacks to the lives of the characters before the crash which gradually shed more light on who they are - and whether they are who they claim to be. There's twists and turns right from the start with Lost and it's a show like no other - and one that really pushed serialised storytelling in TV to the forefront with its impact still felt to this day.

How many seasons of Lost are there?

There are six seasons of Lost, running at various lengths.

The first three seasons are the standard 22 episode length with the first being the longest, while seasons four through to six are slightly shorter. There are 121 episodes in total.
