Lost (2004–2010)
5/10
Terrible writing. Despicable characters

Warning: Spoilers
There is so much that doesn't make sense. Like a suitcase that was underwater for weeks and yet when they open it, everything inside is dry, even the papers. A jet engine that is detached from the plane and yet is still running, and explodes up in flames, not knowing where the fuel came from, waiting around for weeks to look around the island for water, when clearly anyone with common sense knows a jungle will have plenty of fresh water, planting a herb and veggies garden with seeds appearing from nowhere (since no one ever really leaves the beach), John Lock being a survivalist even though he's never done anything remotely survivally in his life, dialogues that make zero sense, the main character Jack with a God complex, for zero reason, people having random skills for no real reason, for example that guy who knows everything about natural cave ins because he was a builder? A French woman who sends a distress signal in french, even though her when we meet her later speaks a flawless English? Why would she do that? To narrow down her chances of being helped by anyone picking up that signal? The list is long and I haven't finished season 1 yet.

I watched it years ago, I think up until season 5, when it was reaaaally dragging, and never watched the end. Recently I thought "why not?". But Gosh it's so bad. People seem to know things for no reason. I keep asking my TV out loud "how do you know that?".

If you don't mind illogical dialogues and characters you couldn't care less about, then it's fun ish.
