This show has held my attention since the first season, it towers above the competition. In fact, it towers above most feature films. In fact, it towers above the Mission Impossible film that it's creator made! Here's why, imho. First and most important, they have an amazing cast. Matthew Fox is stellar, driving the show forward with the most difficult role, he has to observe, stay calm, and hold our interest. The girls are all lovely to look at, and they can act too! And the supporting players are all terrific. The music is compelling, it's filmed like a real film, and most importantly, the STORY is something we haven't seen before. Or haven't seen in a very long time. This is to me as good as The Sopranos, and proof that television can be good and worth watching. Especially on DVD where you don't have to sit through the lousy commercials.
