Man....at first I really didn't like it and was struggling with slogging through it. But at the same time I didn't have the desire to just stop. There's been plenty of shows I've started and gave up on and I didn't really get close to thinking about doing that with this one.
By the end of season 1, I was captivated. It was such a different kind of show than what I've watched in the past and it's hard to explain what "it" is that hooked me but it did. It was depressing, uplifting, thought provoking and just so strange all at the same time. I loved the character based episodes, specifically the ones with Matt and Nora.
And to the people who compared this with Lost and hate Lindelof, I get it. I was much younger when Lost was on and I did watch it only to eventually give up by season 4 or 5. It was an insanely frustrating show. This one never answered the question of what happened/where the 2% went but it didn't bother me in the least. Didn't seem like that was what the show was even about, which was ok in my book.
Two big thumbs up from me. So different from what I'd usually watch but captivating nonetheless.

Yes you've sort of described my experience the first time watching S1 (at least the first half or so). It's a difficult watch in many ways, but I think having seen the series twice in full now there's an argument S1 is actually the best season of it (not that the two other seasons aren't also great). The show itself might actually be my favourite of all time.
