I'm jealous that you're getting to experience it for the first time.
As the resident Lost hater (and a person who does love the show as well), I'll say this:
Lost is an experience more so than most shows, and it thrives on giving you something that isn't like anything else. It isn't well constructed or well written, it often contains weak acting. If you are someone who likes consistent narrative, you will probably want to shoot yourself at multiple points. If you don't like red herrings, you WILL shoot yourself.
But if you can get past all of that, it is a lot of fun.

Definitely this, moreso than any other piece of entertainment I've ever gotten involved with.
To the OP, as has been mentioned, it does drag a bit in the middle (due to an unclear end date, writers strike, etc) but then picks up. Just remember this show is somewhat of a scifi show at its core, so you'll kinda need to suspend belief towards the 2nd half of the series. But that shouldn't be too hard given that at the point you're at now you've already encountered polar bears on a tropical island, a smoke monster, and visions of dead bodies walking around.
Starting with season 4 it really goes in some crazy directions, but if you don't fall victim to "well this is stupid and unrealistic, this could never happen! It doesn't make sense!" and just enjoy it for what it is, a form of ENTERTAINMENT, you will not regret it at all.
Also count me in the camp that loved the shite out of the finale. The last few minutes are some of the most gripping I've watched on TV.

I've seen your argument for the first two, but I really can't think of a legitimately weak actor on the show. I'd say Evangeline Lilly was probably the worst, and maybe the actors who played Shannon and Boone, but I think the rest of them were pretty great.
