I started watching lost in season 2. A friend prompted me to watch and suddenly I was hooked. I spent the days between wednesday watching rented videos of the season 1 and between that and repeats, I was able to catch up. I'm a huge fan now and have most of my family members watching as well. I hate to say it, but I was certain that this show was a spin-off of survivor which i hate and that's why I orginally avoided the show. Can't tell you how glad I am now that I finally gave it a try.
