Created by Damon Lindelof, Jeffrey Lieber, and J. J. Abrams, the sci-fi adventure dramaLosthas been hailed as one of the greatest TV hits of all time. Following a group of plane crash survivors on a mysterious island, the series captivated audiences over the course of six seasons and won numerous awards along the way, including the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series.
And it also suffered from what has plagued many greatest TV hits, a controversial finale, leaving fans disappointed and divisive of something that they have followed for years. The series creator Lindelof, however, didn’t take kindly to the criticism and defended the finale as he went on to proclaim that he would never work with the same actors again, something that he later realized was not a great commitment on his part.
