the first series of lose kick off with a bang . literally and slowly decrease in pace . this may have put some viewer off and people who start to watch halfway through would either be bore or just plain confused . i would advise people new to the world of lose to simply watch from the beginning and do not get pt off by the slow episode . the act throughout be excellent but why have 5 series plan . why . all this mean be that there will be no answer for at least 4 year and oh well and i will keep watching if it keep the tension up and dialogue flowing .
