Beschreibung

<b>A comprehensive critical companion to the blockbuster TV show <i>LOST,</i> revisiting its core themes, lore, and impact on culture</b><br><br> For fans of one of the most successful and highly discussed shows in recent memory, <i>LOST: Back to the Island </i>is both a delightful time capsule and a rousing work of entertainment criticism.<br><br> Before it premiered in the fall of 2004, <i>LOST</i> looked doomed to be an expensive, disastrous plane crash of a TV show. Instead, <i>LOST</i> was a massive hit, debuting with the biggest audience for a new drama on ABC in over a decade, reaching heights of over 23 million viewers at its peak, and holding on to a hefty fan-base for its entire six-season run.<br><br> The elements that made the series seem like a boondoggle proved, instead, to be a big part of its appeal. Audiences loved the exotic island setting, became invested in the morally compromised characters, and feverishly tried to unravel the show’s many mysteries.<br><br> In <i>LOST: Back to the Island</i>, TV critics and veteran <i>LOST </i>recappers Emily St. James and Noel Murray revisit what made the show such a success and an object of enduring cultural obsession, twenty years later.<br><br> Through essays, episode summaries, and cultural analysis, they take us back to the island and examine <i>LOST</i>’s lasting impact—and its complicated, sometimes controversial legacy—with a clear-eyed and lively investigation.
