Of all the new tv shows this fall season, I have been most pleased with Lost from ABC. Basicly the plot is that an trans-Pacific flight crashes in the middle of nowhere onto a mysterious island. The crash survivors are equally mysterious and that's all part of the fun: trying to figure out the backstories of the survivors and what in the world is going on with the island. I won't give anything away but its got me excited and has me tuning in next week to find out more.
A couple of asides: The production values for a network broadcast show is tremendous. The CG work is excellent and the initial confusion of the crash is expressed so well to the viewer...you are confused and disoriented along with the characters. Also, the series is shot in Hawaii as far as I can tell and its always nice to see such beautiful vistas week in and week out.
