Along with Desperate Housewives and Grey’s Anatomy, Lost is one of the most popular television shows on ABC. Just now starting it’s third season, the show has a huge cult following, numerous fan clubs and some fans have even organized a Lost Fan Convention.

Now some shows I say you can pick up on the second season without catching the first season. Shows like Greys and House, you can just pick up from the second season and not feel like you are missing much. As for Lost, you may want to check out the first season before you jump feet first into the show’s second season.

As the season begins the castaways are still stranded on the island and they have been for over 40 days. They have to face the challenges of the terrain, the weather and various elements just to survive—not to mention mystery and danger is around nearly every corner. Now if you were watching the show since the first season, you will recall at the end of season one, several characters took to a raft and tried to make a go at getting away. Well they are still alive—well some of them. Jin, Michael and Sawyer are alive and Walt is missing. Believe it or not, new characters are also introduced this season.

Lost is an interesting show in the manner that it’s not just a Gilligan’s Island type of show about some people stuck on an island. The shows writers really go above and beyond to bring mystery and intrigue into the storyline. If you are a fan of the show you will be pleased with the Season 2 Box Set which includes an amazing 8+ hours of bonus material.
