 Lost is an action-adventure and science fiction series on ABC centering on the survivors of a plane crash, Flight 815, which landed them on a mysterious island It was created by Jeffrey Lieber, J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof. Lost is a critically acclaimed series winning Emmy Awards, Writers Guild of America awards and Screen Actors Guild awards to name a few. The cast includes Matthew Fox, Josh Holloway, Evangeline Lilly and many more. The series ran from the pilot in September 22, 2004 to the finale on May 23, 2010. The plot largely consists of the mysteries of the island and the circumstances of the passengers’ plane crash. Lost has also developed a strong cult following of fans who discuss the mythology and mystery. |
 Not until LOST had come to its end did I find this show. I think I remember hearing about it back when it started (same time as LOST?), but never did get into it. But after one weekend of four seasons on Netflix (yeah, I was tired) this show quickly became one of my favorites … only to hear that it’s also at its end. |
 One of the strangest shows in terms of sucking you in with pointless plot lines and maddening character development. I originally was intrigued by this show because my family is in the ad business, and I cut my teeth in the real world in the ad business, but now I’m hooked and I can’t stop staring … oh wait, where’d that Sir Mix-A-Lot line come from? |
 How about a family-friendly show about a family who somehow goes to Brazil and comes back with super strength, speed, brains and mind reading? If you’re a Chiklis fan looking for something to cure your withdrawals from The Shield, then this may be your thing. |
 For those of us looking to fill the void left by LOST, Hawaii Five-O can sure do the trick. Set and filmed in Hawaii and starring Jin, er, Daniel Dae Kim, this show is action packed with some eye candy to go around. |
 Not since NYPD Blue has there been a really, really, really good cop show. Detroit 187 isn’t quite NYPD Blue level yet, but with this being its first season, who knows how good it can get. It’s already one of our favorites, shot with a gritty perspective and film grain, it makes you think this show is the real-deal. |
 The longest running show on this list … and for a reason. Just when you think “what could they possibly do next?” … they go and do and entire season off-the-wall. So many plots within a plot within a plot on this show. One of the greatest attributes this show has is that they have plots of each episode that get wrapped up, while the overarching season has its own long-term development plot to keep you coming back for more. |
 I wasn’t too sure how this one was going to pan out. Truthfully, I got bored and fell asleep for the first couple of episodes, but soon after, they flipped a switch and I was hooked. Like “No Ordinary Family” with Chiklis, this brings in The Shield alum Walton Groggins (also of Major League: Back to the Minors). |
 Magnum, P.I. all grown up? Well, kind of. Tom Selleck is back! Alongside Donnie Whalberg, Bridget Moynahan and Len Cariou, Blue Bloods is a dramatic TV series from CBS featuring a family of New York City cops. The family business may be serving justice, but they argue over policing methods, including police brutality, ethics, and, presumably, whose turn it is to do the dishes. |
 Honestly, not one I got into at the beginning, but have Netflixed past seasons to catch up with this latest season. Bryan Cranston (Walter) is a high school chemistry teacher who is diagnosed with advanced lung cancer in the pilot episode. Determined to secure the financial future of his pregnant wife and teenage son, he resorts to cooking meth with a former student and burnout junkie. Together the pair dive head first into the local drug trade, and quickly hit some major roadblocks. As Walter’s sickness worsens, so do tensions within his family, as he struggles to keep his second livelihood a well-hidden secret. To make matters worse, they have a close relationship with in-laws Marie and Hank, who is a DEA officer assigned to track down the source of the mysterious blue meth that has surfaced across the Southwest. Each episode of this critically-acclaimed series will have you on the edge of your seat. |
