A comprehensive review companion to the blockbuster TV show LOST, reiterating its core themes, legacy, and cultural impact. For fans of one of the most successful and talked-about shows in recent memory, LOST: Back to the Island is both a delightful time capsule and an impressive work of entertainment criticism. Before it premiered in the fall of 2004, LOST seemed doomed to be an expensive and failed airplane crash TV show. Instead, LOST was a huge success, premiering with the highest viewership for a new drama on ABC in over a decade, reaching heights of over 23 million viewers at its peak, and maintaining a large fan base throughout its six seasons. The elements that made the series seem like it would fail, proved, instead, to be a big part of its charm. Viewers loved the exotic island location, invested in the morally questionable characters, and frantically tried to unravel the show's many mysteries. In LOST: Back to the Island, television critics and experienced LOST recap writers Emily St. James and Noel Murray explore what made the series so successful and a subject of enduring cultural obsession, twenty years later. Through essays, episode summaries, and cultural analysis, they take us back to the island and examine LOST's lasting influence — and its complex, sometimes controversial legacy — with a clear eye and a lively exploration.
