re: Is Lost worth watching?

Some of the best dialogue and character creation ever written.
They are masters of pulling your heart strings and getting you invested in the fate of the characters.
But the WAY over use the trick of throwing in weird curveballs that make NO sense, with promises that "all will be revealed" in future episodes.
And they wrote the book on answering one question with three more.
ANd in the end, they shite the bed, leaving really significant plot holes left unfilled.
They tug the shite out of your heartstrings one last time, and leave you with a sneaking feeling that there's a lot of stuff they promised to answer, and didn't.
And after some time, and a little research, you discover that all along, there was no "grand vision", and that they were just making up shite that became more outlandish and implausible with each plot hole, to cover up the streaming pile they were squirting out all along.

One of my favorite shows of all time. If you can’t live with some things left unexplained, then skip it.

I’ll tell you the difference between this and the end of Game of Thrones. At the end of LOST what were people bitching about: the answers. It didn’t go the way they want, and some of the mysteries that some of the fans are bitching about weren’t answered actually were answered, some on multiple occasions.
What were people bitching about at the end of Game of Thrones: the characters. Save for perhaps Jorah and the Hound, none of them got satisfactory character arcs in the ending and some were brutally betrayed.
That’s way worse than leaving a few loose ends like LOST did. With the possible exception of one character that I will not spoil, all of them had very satisfactory character arcs by the end. Save for two characters that pop up during Season 3, no ever really bitched about the characters on that show and even more than the mysteries the characters are where the show shines. Give it a watch. It’s 50/50 if you’ll like the end, but you’ll definitely enjoy the characters and the ride.
