Amazon.co.uk Review
There's a steady pattern forming to seasons of Lost, where the narrative by turns manages to enthral and frustrate with equal measure. And the show's makers are clearly wise to this, as while elements of the third season revert to type, there's a clear and genuine effort to energise a programme that continues to stretch its simple premise as far as it can.

So while Lost still compromises of a group of plane crash survivors marooned on a mysterious island, there's plenty else being thrown into the pot. Season three finds new characters, greater exposition of the mysterious `others', the obligatory background character work, and a pronounced fracturing of relations between many of the survivors.

It too also manages to hint at some answers to the many conundrums that it continues to pose, not least a concluding episode that itself should keep fan debates fuelled until well into the next series. And, chief among its accomplishments, Lost still manages to keep us interested, and leaves plenty in the tank for the future as well.

In short, there's little danger you'll be short-changed by Lost season three thanks to its ideas, its nerve, and the continued clues it teasingly leaves along the way. As fascinating as it always was. --Jon Foster

Wearing a bit thin
I've been hooked on Lost since the first episode but I think that after 3 seasons the writers are struggling to keep the suspense going and for me it shows in season 3 where the every episode feels dragged out to death. While we do get an insight into `the others' in season 3 I felt that the main characters were sidelined somewhat and what we were left with was just filler to try get to the end of the season and then make a few bucks on making a 4th season. I also hated the flashbacks at the end of season 3 as they threw up more questions but the questions weren't interesting enough for me to want to see season 4. I think for me the Lost journey has ended. Disappointing as it started so well.

Goodness,series three of lost,and still the shocks come spiralling,but they take their time and thats something many cant take,this is a slow burning,detailed journey and in season three we learn a heck of alot of what is going on here and just when things appear to be just that little bit clearer,new mysteries appear and open up a new can of worms in a major way.
'the others' as they are known feature heavily here and we understand more about them and why they target the stranded on the island but there is a so much more to learn that that,the flashbacks feature heavily here and give us further insight to the lives back home of those on the island,i cant help feel that they all have something in common,but during the final two episodes we get flash forwards that almost made my nose bleed,what i saw seemed clear but surely not,there is emotion here as well,more so than ever as a viewer,i wont spoil it but i felt sad at some of the scenes,i cant go into major detail without killing some of what a new viewer will see here,but needless to say that this is killer stuff,be patient.

Lost Just Got Even Better
Season 3 of `Lost' is probably the most confusing, action packed, and best yet. The plane crash survivors are still on the island, but Season 3 sees a lot more interaction with the mysterious Others. We learn more about the island than ever before, but as normal one answer always leads to a 100 new questions. What do the Others want? What is the Dharma Initiative? Season 3 sees the loyalties and motives of characters such as Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Hurley, Locke, etc tested to the full. When it comes down to it will they think about themselves or the group? Characters are introduced, characters are killed - the island has become even more dangerous.

Having been slightly disappointed in the second season of `Lost' it was with great surprise and joy that season three was so good. The first two seasons act as an introduction to the characters, their motives and to the island itself. The show felt a little insular and not much was happening by the second season. This is rectified now as a load happens and it is gripping stuff. The writing is superb and the number of twists and turns are better than ever. The creators manage to make the Others a vital part of this season and the show benefits from their presence as they are both intriguing and anger inducing. I believe that the third season of this show is so good that if you have not seen any episodes you should venture out and buy them just so you can get to here.
