Started Watching Lost and Love It So Far *FINISHED IT*

I never got into Lost when it first started and have been meaning to watch the entire series. Well I started watching it over the weekend and 11 episodes in I really like it and understand why it had such a huge following. Most of the characters are likable and I don't find myself hating anyone yet.
What's the M/TV board's opinion on the show? I know there was a lot of controversy about the end, but that's a long ways away for me. Are there any seasons that jump the shark and are tough to get through?

All I really have to say is just keep watching
I watched them all on netflix over a 2 month period. I loved it

the beginning half of season 3 gets kinda stagnant be/c the writers were unsure what they doing, but once they figured it out towards the end of season 3, it never really slows down

I've never been so emotionally invested in a show.
At the time, it was my favorite show. Too many questions were left unanswered for me though.
The character arcs and their individual denonments were very satisfying

Now that the show is not airing anymore, and you can rifle through episodes and seasons pretty fast/easily, it doesn't really drag. There were some spots that did drag on back when it was airing because of the writers' strike, but I found upon rewatching the series that when you're moving through the show at a good pace it doesn't really drag like it seemed to back then. So you'll be fine.
Just know that there will be some parts of the show (episodes or storylines) that don't really affect things (like the overall plot) too much (that was a big gripe about season 6) and you should be fine and just enjoy the ride...and it's a hell of a ride, and I'd easily recommend the series to anyone who hasn't seen it.
As for the ending...like you said, some loved it and some hated it. I, for one, loved it and thought it was great. I hope you do as well.
One of the most enthralling shows I've ever been a part of, and I am glad I was able to watch it as it aired, from pilot to finale. That being said though, I'm jealous that you're getting to experience it for the first time.

LOST kinda made "jumping the shark" an artform though. Hell the show basically jumped the shark when the Monster killed the pilot and the polar bear shows up. It does in some ways, but its always very enjoyable. Just keep an open mind and you should enjoy it.
And I think the final episode was the best episode of the show if that helps.

My favorite show of all time. They went a little too sci-fi at times and left a lot of questions unanswered but it is still the greatest show warts and all. I implore you to stick with it until at least the end of season 3 if you lose interest.

My forever favorite show!
You will love it for the character, the writing, the music, the scenery. It has everything you could ever want in a tv show. I have never had such an emotional attachment to a tv show like that before. I wish I could watch again with virgin eyes.
Have fun and let us know how you react along the way.

That's quite amazing, imho

I watched the active series and followed along on this and other fan boards throughout the series. It was the best combination of TV and fan interaction experience of my life. Enjoy.

I would stay the heck out of any Lost thread until done. Even with spoiler alerts there are simply too many things people could say to ruin your experience.

My favorite show ever. I will never be that invested again.

I just started it about 2 months ago. On season 4. My older brother loved this show and its his favorite show so I thought I'd give it a chance.
First half of season 3 blows. Almost turned me off of it. After the first half it picks back up.
Only thing I don't like about it is show unrealistic it is. And fantasy show don't bother me, I'm a big GOT guy. But, I don't like how they make it to be real life and not fantasy, then all this unrealistic crap happens to them. That's the only knock I have on the show. If its real, keep it real. If its fake, don't act like its real life. That's s what annoys me.
