Getting Lost

On September 22. 2004 a plane crashed on a mysterious island. It was the start of LOST, my favourite TV Show of all time. I didn't know back then but LOST would change my life quite a bit... My english language skills were realy bad at the time but I learned how to speak english just by watching LOST.

And the only reason I even watched it in english, was because I didn't want to wait a year before it was translated and dubbed in german. Which was the only (legal) way to watch american shows back then :D

Besides english, LOST taught me many life lessons and I would not be the person I am today without it.

On September 22. 2024 I had the opportunity to celebrate 20 years of LOST at the World Premiere of GETTING LOST in LA.

This amazing documentary tells the story of LOST and its fans. And how it changed and impacted so many lifes in these 20 years.

I would like to thank Ralph, Taylor and everyone involved for this great documentary.

In my opinion, this was the missing puzzle piece to explain why LOST is still loved all over the world by so many people.

It is a must watch for any LOST Fan!

I knew this documentary would be fantastic. I didn't know it would create such an emotional response. It was like visiting dear friends that I have not seen for 20ish years. Seeing them reminisce and tell behind-the-scene stories was delightful, and I found myself pulled into their world once again. The director addressed some of the very uncomfortable aspects of the production with what I thought was a fair and balanced accounting of events and consequences. Refreshing to be able to delve into the dirt of this part of the story but still come out cheering at the end for the phenomenon it became.

I loved Lost, even the ending! There is quite a lot to enjoy in this film, especially when the stars of the show are talking about the series so fondly. What I didn't like was that it spent far too much time on fans of the show, a number of whom were really rather boring and totally self obsessed. It was more about them than the actual show!! This got worse later on when there was talk of some toxicity on the show, giving these narcissistic fans a chance to wallow in victim mentality droning on about diversity and inclusion etc. This was followed by the sob stories and illnesses suffered by some of these fans. I wanted to watch those from the show not people I have absolutely no interest in. I'd give it a higher score if they cut out the dreary fans.

Getting Lost is an incredible tribute to a series that changed the television landscape forever 20 years ago.

Taylor, Ralph, and company have so eloquently captured the lasting affection that many of us feel for the show. It will make you laugh; it will make you cry. Above all, it will remind you why this show continues to reverberate with us today.

It's way more than a love letter to the six seasons of the show; it's truly a celebration of the fandom and communities that sprung up because of it, many of which still live on today.

Getting Lost features interviews with many of the cast and crew, along with notable podcasters and personalities who offer remarkable insight into the making of the show. At times both humorous and poignant, deeply moving, it is a fitting tribute to this groundbreaking series and the community that keeps its legacy alive.

Binge watched this show a few years after it came out and never even heard of it or saw a trailer and was hooked. I watched all the seasons in about 2 weeks, then did it again with my wife a few weeks later. This was a fun, sci-fi feast with a stellar cast of unique characters. Be sure if you have finished this series completely to be sure to see the "actual last episode" called "The Man In Charge" it is considered the only episode in the "lost" 7th season (that doesn't exist). I think they wanted to give the fans a little better ending than the last episode of season 6 which seemed to disappoint many. This little short tidbit brings a lot back to the table. Hope you can see it.

This documentary explains the show well with cameos of all the players, shows lots of scenes and if you haven't seen the show, don't watch this first. Hope someone comes up with another paradox sci-fi that runs for 7 seasons with 22 episodes or so each season again!, maybe a series about a group of people who are able to be just out of phase with reality to move through things.
