It would have been really great if it had ended on the second last episode. I didn't like the answers in the last episode. Goes to prove that giving answers is bad. Only the last episode sucked, so, pretty well done.

I loved the show until in the last season the monster walked from arctica to UK and jumped a shark along the way. After that horrid season I was really glad this crap got cancelled. Always looked good, though.

Two and a half great seasons. After Olivia returned from the alternate reality, she apparently returned to the wrong show as it was just garbage from there on out.

First few seasons were good, rest were boring.

The first season showed a great and fun way to adapt comics into television, it was fresh and cool. Then it took a dive into boring and I stopped watching.

6. Lost (2004–2010)

TV-14 | 5,445 min | Adventure, Drama, Fantasy

The earlier seasons were brilliant and intriguing, the second to last season made me worry and the final season was jarring in its stupidity. A stellar beginning was completely ruined by the most horrid ending ever.
