Lost reviews

3 May 2006 Rob Buckley TV reviews, US TV Post a comment

I did warn you all that you weren’t going to get answers. Bloody Lost.

“Remember what happened last time round, how empty and cheated you felt at the end? What makes you think it’ll be any different this time? It’s televisual crack, you know it is. ‘I can handle it,’ you’ll keep telling yourself. You can’t though. Just say no.”

Sam Wollaston, The Guardian

“Throughout last night’s two episodes, the programme’s existing mysteries remained as mysterious – and numerous – as ever.”

James Walton, The Daily Telegraph

“Already the dependency is as bad as ever.”

Thomas Sutcliffe, The Independent

“Personally, I couldn’t bear to go on to watch episode two of Lost, which followed on straight afterwards.”

Peter Paterson, Daily Mail

“Lost appears to be scripted by a team of lawyers, who answer every question with a 10-page booklet of further questions.”

Matt Baylis, Daily Express and Daily Star

    I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
