Amazon.co.uk Review
By the second half of the second series of Lost, the debates are really hotting up. Is it the most cleverly plotted, densely packed television programme of recent times, cunningly working on many levels and lacing lots of hidden clues as it moves along? Or is it pretentious, slow-moving tosh, that's desperately trying to stretch out a simple concept to fill as many seasons as possible?

Maybe it's a mixture of all of those, yet whichever side of the fence you park yourself, Lost is undoubtedly an intriguing, and hugely successful, show. Its blend of past and present narrative continues with these episodes, and it's a loyalist and a half who won't admit that one or two of them are tepid at best. But there's some great stuff in here, with eye-opening character development, fresh discoveries and a superb end of season double episode that, in true Lost fashion, answers some questions and poses many more.

It's going to be a real challenge for the creative minds behind the programme to keep the momentum going, and surely the point will come soon where even more answers need to be forthcoming. But for now, Lost remains compelling viewing, and there's much to watch and rewatch in the episodes contained here. Even if it may drive you nuts trying to figure everything out… --Simon Brew

Synopsis
Created by successful television producer J.J. Abrams (FELICITY, ALIAS), LOST became one of the most popular and critically acclaimed programs of the 2004-2005 season. Utilising a ripe premise and well-drawn and acted characters, LOST attracted a huge following and was proclaimed the saving grace of a television year otherwise marred by derivative reality programming. The story concerns the survivors of a terrible plane crash, who find themselves stranded on a tropical island with seemingly little chance of a rescue. Medical doctor Jack takes a position of leadership, helping to rally the survivors and prepare them for a period of difficulty as they learn how to survive on the paradisiacal island. But everything is not as it seems, as the island offers potential danger in the form of a large, mysterious creature, and evidence is found that the plane crash may not have been an accident. As they struggle to survive, each of the characters forms alliances and makes enemies, all while dealing with the unresolved issues of the lives they've left behind. LOST distils the difficulties of society down to their essence, exploring these problems with compelling characters and with a setting that's equal parts paradise and mystery.

Sorry this is'nt really a review just a money saving idea.
I think £24 for just HALF a season on DVD is pretty sickning, so do your self a favour if you got a regoin free DVD player get the WHOLE SEASON(not just half of it) for £23 shipped to the UK. Plus its allready released in the states so you'll have it before anyone else does.

I'm in love
This is the best part of the lost season 2 it has so much action and finally some answers can't wait to see the third season in america

Lost Promise
I have to admit that when Lost first came to Britain I wasn't all that interested but after watching a few episodes I have to say the mysteries of the island intrigued me. So when I saw the adverts for season 2 I couldn't wait. Looking back I probably could have.
Lost suffers from the typical Americanization of their TV series being far too long. This means that a storyline becomes dragged out over far too many episodes meaning that the writers have to "fill time." The best example of this would be the episode where Charlie goes nuts and tries to baptise Claire's baby (what was the point of this episode? I could have spent that hour more productivley like watching paint dry.)
You also get the feeling that the writers don't actually know what happens next. They're just bumbling along trying to get to series 3 and their next big payday whilst adding a million and one twists and turns to the plot, most of which don't work and just make them look stupid.
I know that I havn't watched the final 4 episodes yet and I don't know if I'm going to because after watching Michael get taken back to the hatch by Jack who asks no questions and leaves no guard for a man who is deperate to get is son back I can't say I was that surprised at what happend afterwards. Lost has lost it's powers to shock.
I've watched it once for free on TV. I'm certainly not spending my money to watch it again.
